I’m here to encourage and empower you on your fiber arts journey.
As an artist and educator, I’m uniquely positioned to help you overcome creative challenges, learn new skills and feel excited to boldly go on your own crafty adventures.
Whether you're a handspinner, dyer, or both, you will be able to achieve your creative goals through my expert instruction via books, online workshops and dye formulas.
If you’re looking to improve your yarn spinning skills, become more adept at acid dyeing yarn and fiber, or are curious about how to approach your crafting time with more creativity, then you’re in the right place!
Here are some workshops and thoughts from past students:
“As an experienced spinner I was impressed by how much I learned by taking this workshop. In the past when I've heard or read about twist angle and other technical aspects of spinning my eyes would glaze over. Alanna presents it in such a clear and concise way you have already learned it before you can even think about being intimidated. I would highly recommend this class to anyone.”

I’ve spent over a decade testing dyes on yarn and fiber to make this the easiest process for you. Never again will you have to waste your valuable time, money, and materials trying to achieve an envisioned color.
No more trial and error testing, wasted yarn and time, or hunting down and figuring out the right brands of dyes, colors, or dye ratios ever again.
