Urbangirlyarns was established in 2015 by me, Shelia Anderson. I have been a knitter since I was 7 years old. I grew up in an urban area and had no comprehension of the different types of animals that produce fiber. Once I learned, I wanted to share my vision and color escapades with all the beautiful people in the fiber community. Urbangirlyarns specializes in natural fibers dyed with colors that typically represent an urban area. Living in Virginia, I typically dye lighter weight fibers. Urbangirlyarns’ motto is: “Raised in the country, dyed in the city.”
