Bio:

Let Your Inner Nerd Out: Welcome to a world where we encourage you to let your inner nerd free to collide with your fibre dreams! Knitting, crochet, weaving, spinning and hooking; our clients work in all fibre facets.

Theresa and Alexis are the creative minds behind Nerds with Needles. Their knitting journeys started in childhood but blossomed later in life, leading them to the world of yarn dyeing. Theresa’s love for fantastical inspiration and Alexis’s geeky inclinations merged into the birth of Nerds with Needles. You can find them at events, markets, and always exploring the vibrant fiber community.

Inspiration:

Our colourways are inspired by all things nerd or geek culture. Cartoons, video games, or fandoms. If we love it, we recreate it on yarn. So don't be surprised if you stumble across your favourite character from that 80's cartoon you forgot you watched, that villain you TOTALLY understood, or that game you just couldn't put down.
