Birth of an Art Yarn
About Birth of an Art Yarn
Get ready for three hours of fiber-filled fun in this creative core spinning adventure! You'll learn how to add all kinds of fabulous flair to your yarn—think beads, sequins, commercial yarn for auto-wrapping, in-line lock spinning, and more—all while spinning dreamy hand-carded art batts.
Once your yarn is fabulously funky, we’ll Chain Ply it into a one-of-a-kind, ready-to-wear “neck garland” that shows off your new skills. You’ll leave with a mini skein of handmade art yarn and a heart full of fiber joy!

Katelyn Dunn
Katelyn Dunn fell in love with fiber art at just 11 years old when she first picked up a pair of knitting needles. As she puts it, “It ‘spun’ out of control from there!” What started as a curious hobby quickly grew into a passion. Katelyn became captivated by the entire fiber process—from fleece to finished piece—and dove headfirst into learning everything she could.
