Penelope’s grandmother (Yiayia) crocheted every day and taught her how to crochet when she was young. Many years ago, Penelope inherited her Yiayia’s crochet hooks. With these “Yiayia’s Hooks,” she renewed her interest in yarn art. Crocheting and knitting are like meditating for her - a great way to relax. Penelope enjoys making gifts for friends and family and updating her wardrobe with new handmade items. She enjoys challenging herself with new techniques and stitches.
Over the years, Penelope has taught crochet to adults and children. Her goal in teaching crochet is to make it easy, accessible, and fun for all who wish to learn. Take a class with Penelope and discover how exciting, relaxing, and fulfilling it is to create your own crochet yarn art!

Jeff has been creating things his whole life. From helping his family build their house when he was 12 to his current obsession, dyeing up bold, bright yarns, he is always working on something. In fact, his high school classmates saw his creative potential and predicted that he would be living in New York City and selling his own brand of T-Shirts. He much prefers living in Richmond and dyeing up yarn though.
For those that don’t know, Jeff is one of the dyers behind the Dances with Wool shop yarn, Rich Hill Yarn. His wife Abbie, Storied Fiber Art, was his inspiration for joining the yarn dyeing community. They remain happily married even though they have very different styles when it comes to color combinations.
An elementary teacher by trade, he enjoys helping others learn new things and has an uncanny amount of patience for all of his students. He cannot wait to show you how much fun it is to dye yarn.
