Next Meeting: May 2, 2018
Lori Maul, Fidalgo Artisan Yarn Company

     Lori Maul learned to knit when she was 13 from a family friend. She studied fiber arts and textiles in art department at UW with a concentration on weaving and dyeing. Although her work life focused on business administration, human resources, and fundraising, Lori always had a side business with her hand knit sweaters and yarns.
 
     In July 2014, Lori opened up Classic Style and Company in Anacortes, WA. This clothing shop features her handmade sweaters and other artisan made garments and accessories. In September 2015, Lori opened Fidalgo Artisan Yarn Company, a boutique yarn shop specializing in premium-quality, hand-dyed yarns and fibers. Almost all of the yarns in the shop are dyed by Lori. From fine lace to chunky weight yarns, the shop offers over 25 varieties and blends.  Find out more at fidalgoyarns.com
