Art Fire Yarnies: Turtle Cove

Studio name: Turtle Cove

First Name/Nickname: Eryn

A little bit about me: I am the guild master of the Yarnies Guild on Art Fire, but I am also a yarny! I knit, spin, and weave, and I am slowly learning crochet. One of my passions is hand dyed yarns: I am the proud creator of Turtle Feet sock yarns, Turtle Cove Erratics, and my new line of lace yarns: Turtle Cove Lacewings.

Everything I do starts with the question “what if?” What if I make my own goat’s milk soap for my sensitive skin? What if I layer blue, red and brown on sock yarn? What if I move my family to North Dakota to start a fiber farm? Once I've thought of the question, nothing will stop me from finding out the answer!

Brief description of my Studio:

My studio is a mix of all my creative endeavors. Here you will find goat’s milk soaps and knitting salves, hand dyed yarns, Satin Angora fiber for spinning or felting, knitting stitch markers, and soon knitting patterns and kits!

Why do you do what you do?

Right now, everything I do has one goal: moving my family to our dream farm: Turtle Cove Farm. I want my children to grow up connected to the land, away from the pressures of urban life. On the farm we will raise sheep, rabbits, goats, chickens, and maybe a turkey or two. It’s hard to tell who’s more excited about the idea: the kids or the adults!
