About Spun Fibre Arts

It began with passion, as many things do, in this case for everything relating to natural fibres. And so Spun Fibre Arts began, as a means to share that passion with others (and it is clear that many do!).

As is common with many new mothers, I learned to knit while pregnant with my first child, some 14 years ago now...  and haven't stopped since. Along the way, I taught myself to crochet, spin, and felt. Basically, if it had anything to do with natural fibres I was into it.

Since I'm an artist at heart, I found these traditional handcrafts a perfect medium for expressing myself creatively. The passion I feel comes out in my work and workshops as I share my experiences with others. 

My career began as a Naturopathic Doctor. After working in private practice for a few years, I put my practice on hold to run my father's international manufacturing business. Having grown up in the business, I felt very comfortable assuming the leadership role for an interim period of time. However, I realized that the one thing that kept me grounded throughout both scholastic and professional careers... was Knitting!

So, calling upon my knowledge of the health benefits of working with natural fibres and handwork in general, coupled with my experience running a global company, I embarked upon my latest ambitious project - opening Spun Fibre Arts as a way to bring a love of fibres to the world!!!

We invite you to come and experience some of the joy and inspiration that natural fibres can bring to your life !!
