Fiber Heroes

A few months ago I was lucky enough to spend an hour or so in the company of sisters Bootie and Bossy, being interviewed for their podcast. We all share a love of cooking and crafting and if you haven’t come across their podcast yet, it is highly recommended. In this latest Woolpack Q&A you can read all about their fiber world and what to expect when you listen in to Bootie and Bossy.

It was a treat to catch up with Katie from Windy Indigo Farms on Whidbey at the recent Shepherd’s Extravaganza in Enumclaw. I am a huge fan of her yarns with a truly local pedigree – farmed on Whidbey and milled in the Skagit Valley. In this Woolpack Q&A, Katie shares her inspiration, journey and plans for the future.

There are two things that regularly set fiber lovers heart aflutter – beautiful, vibrant hand dyed skeins and a fun project bag to store them in. Phat Girlz Fiber have both of these in abundance. In this Woolpack Q&A Ashley shares the inspiration behind her fabulous color palette and Phat girlz Fiber plans for the future.

Fabulous notions are an essential part of a fiber enthusiasts toolkit, and if you are looking to add to yours’, Sunrise Grove is a great place to start. We caught up Summer the designer and and business owner of this popular PNW brand for a Woolpack Q&A.

For this month’s Fiber Hero feature we caught up with Lisa of Heart 2 Heart Knitting and Fibers which can be found just outside the beautiful “Norwegian” town of Poulsbo. Lisa shares all that its going on in store over the coming months, plus local recommendations. Inspiration for a daytrip? Absolutely!

It’s always fun to head over to West Seattle, especially if you stop by Seattle Yarns – a wonderful LYS that is a part of the local community. It was great to catch up with one of the owners – yarn dyer designer and fiber artist, Destiny Ito, for a Fiber Heroes Q&A. Discover what’s happening in store at Seattle Yarn!
