My name is Tonja Treece and I run an Etsy shop called Woolly Colorado. I specialize in hand dyed and hand spun yarns and hand knit items. I have been dyeing for about 6 years, mostly with acid dyes, but occasionally natural dyed yarn. In my previous life I was a nurse for 25 years specializing in critical care, but am currently semi-retired running my yarn business. I also run the Western Slope Fibershed focusing on sustainably raised local yarns and education on sustainable textile practices with an emphasis on sustainable, local, and natural textile practices. I currently live in Paonia on the Western Slope, and you can find me all summer selling at the Arbol Farmers’ Market in Paonia.

I’m Elizabeth Simons and I am the owner of ESS Knits. I am passionate about making fun, useful tools for knitting and crochet. I began knitting when I was about 8 years old. My passion for it really sparked when I was in graduate school, traveling all over the nation for work. I found that I love to create special things for those I love and want to share that with the world. I have been designing and making stitch markers since 2022. Currently my acrylic and wood stitch markers are for sale at Maverick Fiber Arts in Lafayette. I am excited to be designing the Hot August Knits stitch markers this year!
