About Nathalie and Lula Faye Fiber
At Lula Faye Fiber, my hope is to provide a community that explores the colors and history of handmade textiles by way of creating truly useable art. We have a focus on learning and experiencing fibers arts; from harvesting and spinning fiber, to dyeing and producing clothing and other goods. The loom is the original ‘high-tech’ machinery and has made our lives easier in ways we take for granted now, to the point that we are now in an era of ‘fast fashion’ and piles of clothing and other textile items are discarded for the next ‘in’ thing. We try to use fibers that are sturdy, but natural. The idea of creating items that can be used, repurposed, and then returned to the earth really resonates with and is a central theme in our shop.
At Lula Faye Fiber, we are knitters, weavers, and crafters living in Colorado, and inspired by the geography, nature, and the changing seasons of our Rocky Mountain environment. We try to have different yarns such as cottons, wools and other fibers from around the world and from our backyard. We appreciate the meditative qualities of crafting as well as the community of crafters everywhere, and try to explore various patterns and textures.
