I am super-excited to have been invited be part of a brand new yarn and fiber show made up entirely of local Pittsburgh indie fiber artists. And if you love hand-dyed, handspun, and handmade as much as I do, you’ll want to be there too!
And I’m in some great company… Check out the other fantastic indie artists who are going to be there:
cosymakes
Emily Eckel Artisan Buttons
Fibernymph Dye Works
Gwen Erin Natural Fibers
Klotho
Beads by Eileen
Wren & Rita
Burgh Baby Gear
Sounds great, doesn’t it? And, right in time for some early holiday shopping.
What?!? Holiday Shopping?!?
No, I know. I know. But seriously, I saw it on Twitter the other day — there are less than 60 days until Christmas (ohhhhh, I am soooo woefully unprepared!). But if you’ve got knitters and crocheters on your shopping list and you want to get them something wonderfully one-of-a-kind, this show is the place to be.
And, y’know, even if you don’t have any other knitters or crocheters on your list… we-e-ell, we both know that you love one-of-a-kind yarn (that’s why you’re reading this, right?), so come on… come see us. You’ll have a great time!
…You didn’t actually grab your calendar, did you? No, I know. Look, grab it now — here’s the details again:

Do you need a map? Yep, I’ve got one of those too!
And if you want to know more about the fiber artists that are going to be there, check out the Indie Knit & Spin website, where you’ll find interviews and profiles of each one. Here’s the one about me!
Most of the time, as a dyer, I’m working in isolation. I go into the studio, create my colours, and then post them off to customers near and far, all over the country. It’s a rare opportunity to get to meet my customers, and even more special when I get to meet my local customers. So please, mark Nov 19 on your calendar and come to the Pittsburgh Indie Knit & Spin. I’d love to see you!
