This has been a wonderful and exciting time for me. I have finally opened a business of my own!!
Introducing, Birch Tree Fiber Arts Co
A little history.....
As a man it can be quite deflating to enter a yarn store. I get the occasional, "Are you lost dear?" or "Are you here shopping for your wife?" Sometimes they even trail me at the mere chance I'm looking to steal something. Even worse, they size me up and roll their eyes. But, I digress. You know who you are, but I love you anyway.
As a knitter and a man, it can be a little challenging to find colorways and patterns that speak to my design sense. Although that is changing every day. There are so many talented and wonderful new dyers in the marketplace.
To that, I created Birch Tree Fiber Arts Co.
I am starting with a base yarn of 80% wool and 20% nylon called Rock'n Roll.
This is a soft, yet strong fiber perfect for shawls, a baby sweater or even a fun pair of socks.
You can find an assortment of the Rock n' Roll colorways in my Etsy Store.
Do you want to see them in person? You can find them at The Black Purl located in Village Gate Square in Rochester, NY. The Black Purl has a wonderful selection of hand dyed yarn and knitting essentials. Want an amazing fiber experience? The owner is a fun and talented individual and will definitely help you with your next project. Come check it out!
