Kitey of The Yarn Whisperer
Andrew (aka Kitey), a WoollyAway veteran, is the Indie Dyer behind Yw (Yarn Whisperer), dyeing vibrant and delicious collections inspired by nature, food and the Universe.
He took up knitting in 2020 but has been crocheting since Xmas 2014 and it remains his first love, not least because it ‘works up fast and is perfect for a last-minute handmade present!’ – and he always has yarn to hand!
When he is not making up samples or test knitting/crocheting, he loves making colourful taxidermy animals and unexpected items like ammonites, plants, and homewares such as blankets and bowls, and scarves and cowls. Many of his own yarn samples can be seen in some of these makes!
Kitey will be teaching his Crocheted Terrarium workshop.
