At heart, I'm a fiber enthusiast who has then need for lots of yarn and fiber all the time. I started making Lazy Kates out of need for myself and friends which turned into Alexandra's Crafts.  I needed a lightweight, portable and flexible way to store and use my bobbins on the road.

That was the beginning of Alexandra's Crafts in 2005; I spent some time in the garage at home designing, creating and testing various ideas, and finally came up with the basic folding Lazy Kate design you see here.  Since then we have patented the design and improved upon it, offering both horizontal and vertical options.

Then as I was teaching knitting at the time I decided that I wanted to try and dye some sock yarn for a special project. I fell in love with the process and that has now turned into a full fledged Yarn company! As I also spin we have added the fibers to enjoy as well.
