I think most of us art weavers started as a way to use up some of our languishing knitting stash. I know I did. especially when it came to figuring out what to do with my large handspun stash. But I tell you not all knitting yarn works up in art weaving the same. In this video I share with you some of what I have learned about using my knitting yarn stash in art weaving effectively.

About UrbanGypZ

About UrbanGypZ Fiber artist Stacey Budge — you might know her as UrbanGypZ — works out of a home studio just outside Raleigh, NC, where the loom is usually warped with something interesting and there's fiber drying somewhere it shouldn't be. Her mission: to build a real community around freeform weaving and spinning — not a masterclass, a studio you belong to. She believes fiber art doesn't need gatekeeping, and that the most interesting work happens when you stop trying to do it "right" and start finding your own visual language.
