The SweetGeorgia Blog

Driven by a life-long love of colour and craft, Felicia started the sweetgeorgia blog about knitting, spinning, dyeing, and weaving back in 2004. Today, our team of creators includes makers, writers, designers, and teachers who are deeply passionate about yarn crafts, fibre arts, and continuous learning. Together, we explore projects, techniques, and ideas around how to bring more colour and creativity to our lives.
