About Northern Yarn Works
Northern Yarn Works grew out of a curiosity about how history, culture, and tradition intertwine in the fabrics we wear.
As a company, Northern Yarn Works seeks to make connections, build community, and spread knowledge of the miraculous material we know as wool.
About Brandie
I learned to crochet at seven, but knitting found me in my twenties, and more deeply after I moved north. Surrounded by long winters and shifting seasons, it became more than a hobby. It became a way of making, and a way of paying attention.
Over time, that path led me into spinning my own yarn and a deeper appreciation for the history of fiber arts, especially the generations of women who knit for warmth, necessity, and beauty. I’m drawn to that connection: to place, to tradition, and to the quiet practice of working with your hands.
This space is about slow making, storytelling, and the enduring culture of fiber arts in northern places, past and present. It’s a place for connection, creativity, and the simple act of making something that lasts.
