Circle of Friends Yarn Shop

Welcome To The

and FiberArt Studio

Hello,
 
My name is Ruth Hutton.  I am a New Jersey native but a long time North Carolina resident. I received a BS in Textile Design from The Philadelphia College of Textiles and Science (now known as Philadelphia University). After graduation I moved to NC in 1981 for a career in Textile Design.  I worked in Spindale NC for 19 years employed by Mastercraft Fabrics as a Jacquard fabrics designer for Home Textile use, such as for couches and chairs. My family and I moved to State Road in 2000, to work for Chatham Fabrics, designing fabrics for the contract market ( high traffic public areas such as hotels, offices and restaurants). While designing fabrics for industry use I continued expanding my knowledge in the Hand Fiber Arts, taking classes and attending conferences.

Because of my interest in the Hand Fiber Arts, when an opportunity to buy Circle of Friends Yarn Shop was offered, I did just that and changed the name to Circle of Friends Yarn Shop and FiberArt Studio. On April 15, 2007 I took ownership and expanded to include weaving, spinning, felting, dyeing and etc. We have a wonderful collection of yarns and tools for Weaving, Knitting, Felting, Spinning and Crochet and offer classes in many of the fiber arts.

I have been getting ready for this part of my life for a long time. I’m enjoying life as a shopkeeper here on Main Street Elkin.
