Your Host
Helena Bristow has been Vice Pigmentologist at Oink Pigments since its inception in 2010. She learned to crochet at age 4, and taught herself to knit when she started graduate school for the first time. She often jokes that “knitting stuck; grad school did not.” Helena has now dropped out of two different graduate programs because she would rather be playing with yarn. Helena can usually be found driving all over the country in her yarn van, to fiber festivals and local yarn stores.
Katy Turbeville is your Personal Yarn Enabler. Born and raised in Arkansas, she now travels the country full-time, bringing luxury, hand-dyed yarn to fiber enthusiasts across the US. She is the creative brain behind Yarn Adventure Truck and has been teaching a variety of fiber arts classes for over a decade. Katy also provides consulting services for those looking to start their own mobile yarn business or fiber festival.
