Teacher Biography

It started with a hook! Lisa first learnt to crochet when she was looking for something that wasn't "mummy" and wanted a hobby that was just for her. Coming from a graphic design background anything creative makes her heart sing and anything with colour makes her very happy!  

Lisa made her first crochet hook handle to help her mum who suffered from chronic rheumatoid and osteo arthritis and couldn't hold a hook or needles, keen to help her and given the added benefits of knitting and crocheting to relieve stress. For the Love of Yarn was born from what started as a hobby with hand painted yarns added to her ever-evolving collection.
