Carol Feller, Ireland
Carol was first trained as a textile artist and then as a structural engineer. Although these two backgrounds are very different, the influences can be seen in their design work, which is shapely and a pleasure to knit. She strives to design clothes with a difference: not overly complex, yet unique. She enjoys working with different construction methods as long as they enhance the knitting experience. Carol's work has been widely published in books and magazines.
The courses she teaches cover a wide range of subjects, from reading cable patterns and knitting charts, to shaping and matching garments, to short rows and colorwork.

Jeni von Fyberspates and Andy from Chester Wool.
Nua Sport is a mix of merino, yak and linen.
Merino offers a soft and versatile base.
Yak gives the yarn a unique silkiness.
Finally, linen, a fiber with a long history in Irish culture, ensures
for more strength and durability.
The yarn has a natural tweed effect and impresses with its typical color palette
inspired by the Irish countryside.
