A little tidbit of information about me. I used to sell leather journals on Amazon. Beautiful leather, only the best leather and the modern look. It was a fun venture, but my heart wasn’t in it like Punch Needle, so I had to let it go. But you better believe I didn’t let some of…

‘Amazing’ is how I often describe Rose Pearlman’s work. She was one of the pioneers to make Punch Needle cool again.

To be honest, I felt intimidated when trying to write a blog post on yarn. There are a lot of knitters out there that know a lot about yarn. And not just know a lot about yarn, they have an insane amount of knowledge around it. I recently became friends with one such yarn expert.…
