This inspired place is owned and operated by self proclaimed fiber nerds, Jaime Jennings and Amber Corcoran…two women who’s hope and journey have allowed them to share their knowledge, adventures and passion in fiber, and this is reflected in their beautiful shop as well as their endeavors in creating their own farm yarn <a href="https://www.fancytigercrafts.com/yarn/fancy-tiger-crafts/heirloom-romney" target="_blank">Heirloom</a>. Fancy Tiger Crafts is one of my favorite places to shop online for fabric, patterns and yarn, and I recently attended one of their craft nights and it’s even better in person. I’ve just began cutting out the <a href="https://www.fancytigercrafts.com/patterns/fancy-tiger-crafts/fen-printed-pattern" target="_blank">Fen</a> pattern and excited about their <a href="https://www.fancytigercrafts.com/blog/category/22666" target="_blank">#fancykal</a> that just started which you can find more info about on their blog.

There are so many facets of these stories…where it came from, who raised the fiber animals, who spun the yarn, dyed it, designs with it and so on. But what makes a yarn story even more exciting and the knit more satisfying, is the impact these yarns have. Angie Lenoir and Stephanie Stotts are two friends who created a fiber company which grew into focusing on creating yarns with a story and a mission. You can find Angie and Stephanie at <a href="http://kismetfiberworks.com" target="_blank">kismetfiberworks.com</a> and on Instagram @<a href="http://instagram.com/kismetfiberworks" target="_blank">kismetfiberworks</a>.<br> On January 15-17th Kismet Fiber Works will be at <a href="https://www.vogueknittinglive.com/ehome/index.php?eventid=45793&" target="_blank">Vogue Knitting Live</a> in New York City at the Yarn Culture booth #713. And a special surprise, several of the Tajik women who spin the <a href="http://www.kismetfiberworks.com/pamiri-yarn/" target="_blank">Pamiri yarn</a> will be flying from their home in Tajikistan to New York City to attend Vogue Knitting and meet those who attend the event. I would encourage anyone who is near NYC or plans to visit, to stop by on Sunday from 10-2 and welcome them and to show your love and support of what they’re doing.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <a href="http://feelgoodyarnco.com"></a><br> Sponsor: <a href="http://feelgoodyarnco.com" target="_blank">Feel Good Yarn Co</a>, the creator of SilverSpun yarn.
