Graceful Arts Fiber Studio

Thoughtfully-made knitting needles and crochet hooks are a pleasure to use. We stock Brittany, Clover and Bryspun hooks and needles – because they’re pretty to look at, warm and comfortable in the hands. We also carry useful, easy-to-wind tatting shuttles.

Need a project on-the -go or a gift for a fiber-loving friend or relative? Kits for socks, scarves, ponchos and purses contain yarn, instructions and needles and a photo of the finished product, contained in a tapestry knitting reticule.

Acquiring the graceful arts and improving the skills you already have is a loving gift to yourself and the world. I teach across the U.S. and abroad – as well as in daytime and evening classes at the studio. Visiting teachers will also be teaching here. Class size is limited to 6 to 8 participants. (depending on the class).

Design and pattern creation are a personal joy. My designs have been published internationally and they’re also available directly from me.

FEATURED PATTERN OF THE MONTH

One graceful use of our talent is the creation of gifts for those less fortunate. We are striving to knit at least 100 pairs of mittens each year for SENECA SANTA, a non-profit organization which annually provides gifts to needy children in our area. From time to time we support other areas of need.

Sometimes I’m just sittin’ knittin’, sometimes quilting up a storm. Hand-made, one-of-a-kind, finished gifts are available for purchase.

What's new? With just enough cool nights to help us appreciate the warm qualities of natural fibers, we're thinking ahead to fall. Right now, we are offering special sale pricing on luxury eyelash yarns (25% off, which means a $7.70 yarn is rounded down to $5.75), tussah silk handpaints (currently $2.25 an ounce, will be $2.50 / ounce after Labor Day) and handpaint wool/nylon sock yarns ($12 / 100 grams - enough to make one unique pair of socks/ will be $15/ 100 grams after Labor Day).

Hours: The studio is open

Thursday, Friday and Sunday noon to 5:30 pm,

and any other time the "open" flag is out.
If you need something at another time,
please call - if I'm here, I'll open.

We have searched the world - and our neighborhood - for natural fiber yarns including wool, mohair, alpaca, silk, cotton, organic cotton, and fine threads for crochet and tatting.
