Fiber Arts and Artists

Hello,
My name is Kyla, a fine art and art education student at Wayne State University. I love colour and the fiber arts. I dye, spin, weave, felt, knit, crochet, sew, quilt, and embroider.
I created this group because there wasn't one. This site is naturally a fiberholic's inspiration dream.

New Members please introduce yourself.

Hi I'm Krystal and I'm a 21 year old freshman (about time I went back to school!) at the university of the arts in philadelphia. I love to sew,crochet and embroider. I'm going to take some time and learn how to quilt and knit over winter break though. At school we have a fibers department and while I can't see myself doing that as a major I'm definitely going to take some classes on dying and embellishing and possibly some other classes as well.

I like to make palettes of colors and then go looking for fabrics or yarn or embroidery floss to match and then make things. this site is really great for getting the ideas flowing.

Hi Kyla,
Thanks for starting this group. I am a colour therapist and I have a small business making hand dyed wraps and other assorted things that take my fancy. I love anything to do with colour and am having so much fun on this site. What a great way to get the creative juices flowing! I get into all sorts of arts and crafts (as long as they are colourful!). Finding this site and this group has just made my day!

Hi, I'm Kim, I just joined this group. I'm mainly a crocheter but do some other stuff like sewing, knitting, felting, etc.

I'm Sarah..

I have a love hate relationship with knitting and a huge pile of yarns I bought mainly because I love the color variations. Maybe someday I'll actually make something out of them.




I also sew, attempt crochet, embroider, paint, etc etc etc.

Hi, Kyla, thank you for the welcome. I'm a weaver and a fiber artist. (My avatar is a photo of one of my looms.) I had been finishing up some projects I was committed to, but now I'm looking forward to trying to adapt some of my favorite palettes and patterns to "real-world" projects. I'll post some examples of what I do as I'm able -- my problem is that while I'm good with the fibers, I'm not very good with the camera. (There is one photo right now on my bio, and more can be seen if you go to my website that's linked there.)

I look forward to getting to know you all and seeing your work.

Hello, I'm Susie Monday. I'm crazy about making contemporary textile paintings (AKA art quilts), art cloth and I also teach in my studio in the Texas Hill Country -- intimate retreat weekends that blend creative process, studio practice and fiber art techniques. How active is this group? I was surprised that so few of the art quilt crowd have found it!

Hey Everyone! So glad to find this group! I am Julie, and I am a fiber artist, dyer, spinner, garment designer, jewelry maker, you name it! My little biz deal mostly with dyeing fiber and yarn right now, but I soon want to move back into fabric dyeing and desiging with hand-dyed fabrics.

Colour Lover's has been a god-send! When I am stuck for a good color-way idea, I head straight over here!

My shop is www.lakehouseloft.com, and also on ArtFire at www.lakehouseloft.artfire.com.

Hello, my name is Liz and i own and operate a fiber Mill where I process raw animal fiber into roving and yarn. I love to dye and have many different colorways for my customer to choose from as I'm always adding to the list. This looks like a fun place to put all the colors in my head on a screen and see if they really do go together :)

I'm Shelley, I own a quilt supply store in Grayslake, Illinois. I mostly do quilting work, but have also dabbled in needle felting, beading, bookbinding, and general craftiness.

Hello, my name is Naomi and I love all things artistic! I crochet, draw, paint, and collage and am a work from home artist. It will be great getting to know you all!

Hi everybody!
I'm Lindy, the owner of Knittique, a knitwear design company with our own line of one-of-a-kind skeins of yarn called Scraplet Skeins. I started creating color sequences and color families for these skeins several years ago, and am now making palettes here on ColourLovers based on these colors! It's very interesting to see how what I've done with blending colors and textures translates into flat-color palettes. We also use these palettes to hand-paint and dye some of the fibers that go into Scraplet Skeins. (For skein photos, go to http://www.knittique.com, and

Hi I'm Renee, I'm 50 years old and hoping to change careers and trying to learn how to design templates and possible get into fabric design. Although the templates I have made so far are pretty lame, I'm sure I'll get there. I like making palettes there is an unlimited amount you can make. I'm inspired by art, nature, design and music.

Hi everyone, I'm an artist and educator living in Australia. I have recently become addicted to craft and spend lots of time in my studio with knitting and crochet projects and the company of our two chihuahuas. I usually work with neutral palettes and I'm looking to learn more about colour and be inspired by this site!

Hi, I am not too chatty on here, mostly here to play with color :) But thought I'd at least post an intro. I am Melissa, I am the dyer behind Family Pendragon Yarn and recently discovered this site - it is so cool for creating colorway ideas :D And it forces me to restrain myself to 5 colors which is good since I am prone to 12 color colorways lately and they are so time consuming, LOL!

Thanks,
