Amy Tyler and Stone Sock Fibers Trunk Show
| |
Friday, August 3rd
5-9 p.m.
&
Saturday, August 4th
10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Wool & Honey is pleased to announce that Amy Tyler, from Lake Ann, Michigan (DBA Stone Sock Fibers), will have her yarns, knitted items, and knitting patterns for sale at Wool & Honey, August 3 -4. An artist's reception will kick off the weekend on Friday evening from 5-9 p.m. with wine and handmade treats, and we'll continue the show on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Amy is a truly accomplished handspinner and handknitter, well known for her teaching of spinning and knitting throughout the Midwest and beyond and for her contributions to Spin-Off magazine. And this October, she will be one of the featured mentors at Spin-Off Autumn Retreat in Tahoe City, California.
She spins with the knitter in mind. Among her handspun yarns you can expect the widest range. She works with both luxury fibers (silk, cashmere, alpaca, mohair) and sturdy wools (Romney, Coopworth). Some of her yarns are brilliantly flashy in saturated colors, while others are subdued in pastels and shades; you'll also find natural colors of fiber in her yarns. She spins yarns from the finest lace-weight to the thickest bulky; from the classic and sturdy 2-ply to dramatic and highly textured yarns. Regardless of the structure of her yarns, she always makes yarns that are stable, usable and long-lasting.
Her patterns are carefully written and detailed. Among them you can find patterns for scarves, socks, hats, shawls, afghans, ponchos, jackets, and fingerless mitts. At this trunk show, Amy will be introducing three new patterns: "Cabled Wrists", a set of 4 fingerless mitt patterns; "Petite Poncho", a light, lacey, layering piece that can be worn in a variety of ways; and "Right Side Up?", a jacket designed so that it can be worn right-side-up or up-side-down. Many of the knitted items that she will have available are examples of her patterns. Others are unique pieces, often knitted from her own handspun yarns. In addition to knitting, Amy has recently begun weaving and she will have some of her recent woven pieces available.
