Bio:

I'm Dawn, the founder and creator behind our MakerWoolc based in Colorado.
My fiber arts journey began in college, when my Mom taught me to crochet. Soon after, I designed my first blanket, playing with colors and stitches. Knitting and designing soon captured my heart, inspiring a life-long love of self-teaching and the designing 25+ unique patterns.

Recently, as I knit through a scrappy mitered square blanket in an array of purples, I longed for more color variety. I then dedicated myself to the art of dyeing yarn, discovering the joy of combining my own colors, textures and patterns.

Inspiration:

Inspired by the breathtaking beauty of nature, my yarn colors are a tribute to the vibrant landscapes that surround me. From the deep greens of pine forests to the soft pastels of alpine meadows, each skein is infused with the essence of nature's palette.
