Abby's Yarns Abby Franquemont has been involved in the fiber arts since birth. The daughter of field anthropologists and fiber artists, she spent much of her childhood growing up in the Peruvian weaving town of Chinchero, learning those traditional arts in traditional ways, in addition to learning Western-derived fiber arts in the United States.
Abby weaves, spins, dyes, braids, crochets, knits, sews, mends, designs, and teaches, and is always eager to further her fiber arts repertoire as well as spread knowledge about textiles. She owns and operates Franquemont Fibers / Abby's Yarns in southern Ohio, and serves on the board of directors of Andean Textile Arts, which sponsors the Center for Traditional Textiles of Cusco.
This is blog about my adventures as one of the few unashamed male knitter in Pittsburgh. I also teach classes and am devolping my own line of needles.
