LOVE MORE THAN ONE CRAFT?
we’re a community of multicraftual makers
For a maker who is passionate about everything from learning to spin yarn, to learning to weave with handspun yarn, to learning to knit and crochet with hand-dyed yarn, we are faced with the challenge of managing our time, space, resources, and focus. It can feel like there is so much to learn, it’s hard to know where to start. And learning new techniques and skills can seem intimidating or overwhelming.
A MULTICRAFTUAL MAKER MINDSET
the more you learn, the more you can create
The School of SweetGeorgia is designed specifically for multicraftual makers and fibre artists who want to do everything from spinning yarn to preparing fleece, weaving textiles to sew into garments, and dyeing yarn for knitting and crochet designs.
- you get the tools to help you design, track, and document your project ideas and create a system for keeping your own project details
- receive support for your progress with our active community and get help to stay on track with your learning plans and goals
- explore our learning paths that guide you through topics and help you learn the skills you need
- learn more quickly when you see how larger concepts are broken down into understandable frameworks

ABOUT FELICIA LO WONG
committed to creating a life of colour + craft
My name is Felicia Lo and I’ve been driven by an insatiable desire to “make & do” for my entire life. I learned to knit at a young age and then became obsessed with dyeing, spinning, and weaving. These multiple passions in the fibre arts have led me to become a creative business owner and educator.
In 2005, I founded SweetGeorgia Yarns, an artisan hand-dyed yarn company, and in 2017, I wrote my first book, Dyeing to Spin & Knit. Currently, I’m exploring weaving on multi-shaft floor looms with hand-dyed yarn at Lo Meets Loom.
Building a textile school for specifically for fibre artists has been my dream for a long, long time and my mission is to share the joy of colour and craft with makers everywhere.
If you are interested in learning about knitting, spinning, weaving, dyeing, and colour, I would love for you to join me in creating this vibrant learning community.

Spinning a Balanced Yarn: Marker or Milestone?
What if we considered twist balance in handspinning as more of a moving target than an end point, much in the way we think about the woollen and worsted continuum?
