About Nerd Girl Yarns

It started with a skein of yarn, a crochet hook, and the desire to craft my children scarves like Harry Potter wore. Six years later I had taught myself to knit and spin as well as crochet, stashed years worth of yarn, made new friends that inspired my creativity and a desire to have more control of my fiber craft than I could get from a skein of big box yarn.

Humbly learning to dye on the stove with an old pot, a skein of wool yarn, and blackberries from Grandad's farm, I started a fire in my soul to create color and never looked back. Fast forward five years and we are into year three of a full-time thriving fiber business.

Inspiration comes from nature's canvas, books that feed my imagination and sci-fi and fantasy. As a Nerd Girl I incorporate a lot of math and science into my dye methods and recipes. Every morning I wake up, head to the fiber studio to design new colorways then bring them to life in the dye studio.

I am not only able to support my family but am able to make them a part of a job I love; dyeing yarn, fiber, and silks, and I am thankful for that every day.
