Fiber Arts Stories

Farmers, manufactures, individuals, and companies

Learn about the people who bring us the items we love to create with, the animals who provided the fiber, the small businesses that support our craft.

Alpaca Yarn Company

Their mission: to proudly bring you alpaca and alpaca blend yarns that have been developed by lifelong knitters.  We want you to enjoy the entire process of making your masterpiece

They are a small woman-owned business.  A small staff designs all the yarns they sell as well as hand-dye many of them in their small facility in Pennsylvania.  The owner has owned alpacas for nearly 2 decades and can be found at her farm when she’s not at work at the warehouse.

Chaiogoo

Westing Bridge LLC is a family-owned business that was started by four brothers. Its ChiaoGoo brand knitting and crochet tools are designed and distributed in Troy, Michigan. Its manufacturing facility is based in Hangzhou, China.

Demand for the knitting needles originated with the mother. She is an excellent knitter and knit in order to keep her family warm during the long, cold winters. She would often knit extra items and sell them to neighbors and friends to make some extra money for her family of seven. She was the needle “tester” and frequently asked for special needles to meet her needs. She is the inspiration for the ChiaoGoo brand name, which means “highly skillful and crafty lady”.

Today, the business has expanded to become one of the most respected producers of knitting and crochet tools. ChiaoGoo products are now adored and enjoyed by worldwide customers, with retailers and distributors across the globe.
