What do you create?
Hand crafted blankets, baby items, clothing & accessories.
How did you get started and what motivated you to start?
A River of Yarn has been a dream that came to fruition four years ago. It is currently a part-time yarn studio & online store. You can find me participating in many yarn and fibre shows throughout Ontario. I am always creating something new to highlight a yarn in stock. Many finished items are on display and for sale.

Which item do you have the most fun creating?
I love knitting the bulky blankets at the moment. They work up fairly quickly and keep you warm while you work.

Where do you get your inspiration?
My inspiration comes from the various yarns in the studio, and what is trending in the current fashion scene.
What's the most difficult part of the process?
The most difficult part of the process is finding the time to create what I want to create. As I am still working full-time, I find it hard sometimes to set aside my making time.
