About the Instructor Nicole is a yarn dyer and fiber artist with almost 20 years experience creating hand dyed yarn and making magic with color. Frost Yarn was born in Nicole's father’s studio kitchen in 2008 with fisherman’s wool and food coloring. Newly sober, she latched onto yarn like a woman shipwrecked on an island. Yarn was her salvation and she went shop to shop peddling her Kool-Aid dyed, hand spun yarn. Nicole's husband Martin is her biggest fan and cheerleader, and with his support Frost Yarn grew from one woman furiously dyeing in her kitchen to working with some of the most talented fibre artists in the world and teaching dye workshops around the globe. *Next Course: Oct 4-6, 9am-5pm - Click Book Now below!*
