Hi, I'm Annika,
the founder of
Rosemary & Pines Fiber Arts

 This is my Story

I'm a natural yarn dyeing artist, writer and educator with a science background. I'm also an avid knitter and love to create something with my hands every day.

Back in 2015 I started reducing the waste and ecological footprint of my family. At that time I became interested in knitting and sewing to create a handmade wardrobe. Avoiding yarns and fabric containing synthetic material (e.g. nylon, polyester) has been important to me from the start. But this proved to be a challenge with ready-made clothing and conventional yarns.

This is why I started dyeing yarn with natural materials like plants. It became clear to me very quickly that I enjoy the process of yarn dyeing very much. I have been meticulously honing my expertise in natural dyeing since 2018. The uniqueness of the colors that botanical dyes are able to produce is still simply fascinating to me. Dyeing yarn with natural dyes is like creating a work of art that stands the test of time.

You can purchase my hand dyed, all natural yarns in my Etsy shop or learn how to dye yarn yourself via my online course or ebook!
