Special Guests

While you are here be sure to visit with our Special Guests: Evergreen Fiber Works and Four Crows Fibers. We are thrilled to have them with us for the duration of the Shop Hop.

Evergreen Fiber Works- where sisters-in-law, Pamela and Valerie weave together their passions for nature, creativity, and family into vibrant, colorful yarns that reflect the soul of their beloved Wisconsin home. 

 

At Evergreen, sustainability and craftsmanship converge. Yarns are carefully selected to be created from natural and cruelty-free fibers. Water and dye use practices are strictly managed in order to minimize environmental impact. 

 

With a love for wool and a penchant for collaboration, Pamela and Valerie merge their distinct perspectives to create truly enchanting colorways.
