Grab A Burst Of Color At This Very Unique Pop-Up Event!

Written By Danielle Romanetti

fibre space is so excited to host a very unique pop-up event on July 9 and 10. Tina Whitmore, the artist who created Freia Yarns, will be joining us with a huge collection of her amazing ombré yarn cakes. This yarn hit the market in 2010 and was, at the time, unlike any other hand-dyed yarn that existed. Now, it is one of the most copied trends in the yarn industry! Her extra-long gradient fade yarns gradually move from one color to the next, resulting in the most uniquely amazing finished pieces, one that cannot be mass-produced. This yarn makes truly one-of-a-kind pieces.

If you are a knitter or crocheter, be sure to stop by and see the huge selection of yarns and colors that will be available during this outdoor event. If you aren’t a knitter, perhaps this amazing yarn will inspire you to start!

Danielle, owner of the fibre space shop, has been knitting since the age of six or so, when she completed her first project – a Cabbage Patch doll scarf. A Pittsburgh native with a degree in international development, she moved to the D.C. area to find a job and quickly established a career in non profit management and fundraising. For extra cash, she decided to turn her hobby into a job and taught knitting classes in the evening at area shops. With a heavy dose of sarcasm and a tough love style of teaching, Danielle quickly developed a following of students – busy D.C. professionals looking for a creative outlet. In October 2006, she struck out on her own with Knit-a-Gogo, Inc. – offering knitting classes and events all over the D.C. metro area.  Before she knew it, Knit-a-Gogo had grown out of control and Danielle moved to the next natural step – a full service yarn shop. In July 2009 fibre space was born and has been rockin’ ever since. When she isn’t behind the scenes with a mocha in hand, Danielle is hanging with her daughter or lobbying for small business needs at City Hall.
