Heather Swan aka "Yarn Queen"

Are you looking to grab some time with the Yarn Queen? She teaches a number of classes and is available for Private Lessons. Heather loves playing with all fiber art fun and will help you get started with something new or move you along in your pattern. Grab some time at the table and get your projects completed.

Heather can help with:

  • Pattern Review/Modification & Chart Reading - Knit and Crochet
  • Knit & Crochet Advanced Stitching - mosaic, fair isle, granny squares, etc.
  • Needle felting in 2D & 3D

Heather learned to crochet and sew as a young child. Her sewing stuck with her for years and then she picked up some knitting needles over 15 years ago never looking back. She eventually went back to her roots and started to crochet again. And as she has been falling down the fiber arts rabbit hole, she also enjoys tunisian crochet, spinning and weaving. Heather has coached youth sports since she was a youth and enjoys passing along her knowledge to help others take their interests to the next step. If you enjoy learning and laughing, you will definitely enjoy spending time at the table with Heather picking up a new skill.

Heather has over 25 years of leadership experience in corporate settings and a passion for volunteerism, community building, and event planning. Her current entrepreneurial adventures include Yarncom, Midwest Fiber Festival, and The Swan Factor and serves as West St. Louis County Chamber of Commerce Board of Director’s Vice Chair of Membership Services and Community Engagement Liaison for Creve Coeur/Olivette Chapter. Heather enjoys bringing people together to enhance the community and spending time with family, traveling, camping, and spoiling her pets.
