Allegheny Fiber Arts
Allegheny Fiber Arts is a NEW vendor!
Allegheny Fiber Arts is a creative collection of fiber and textile arts. I have lived and breathed fiber and textile arts since a young age. I started sewing when I was 8 or 9 and I started spinning when I was 13. I graduated with a BA in fashion design with a minor in Textile Arts. My shop is full of so many techniques I have learned through the years.
I have enjoyed handpainting all of the rovings and yarn in my shop and I also spinning all of the hand spun yarn that you see in my shop. I create all of the beautiful colorways using only Eco friendly dyes. Every skein is unique and one of a kind.
The project bags I have created are a fun and funky combination of fabrics I love in practical designs. I hand select all of the fabrics with color in mind. I love color!!
