I make quality project bags, fabric baskets, rope bowls, stitch markers and crochet hooks. I like to think of my shop as project support. So you can carry your knitting, crochet or spinning around with you in style. I use fun, bright, attractive and nerdy patterns to sew a wide variety of bags.

Wren House Yarns
Wren House Yarns features hand dyed, small batch, artisan yarns. Due to the techniques used in small batch dyeing, each skein is given individual attention guaranteeing a truly unique finished product. While I mainly offer fingering weight yarns, I’ve recently added DK to the Wren House stock list. Most of my yarns are dyed with professional acid fast dyes, but I also love to use local and exotic natural dyes. You may also find a few hand sewn or handwoven treasures in my booth.
