The Kangaroo Dyer

Gail Callahan started her odyssey as The Kangaroo Quilter, designing quilts and bags as an expression of her love of fabric and color. Gail wanted a symbol incorporating her love of her children and the concept that they were always with her. The Kangaroo, like her human counterpart, is the only mammal who carries her young with her. Thus was born the Kangaroo Logo. Her journey led her inexorably to weaving where she designed her own line of handwovens as The Kangaroo Weaver producing her unique scarves and fabric.
Eventually, Gail reached a point where she wanted more contact with the raw material, unimpeded by even the minimal interference of a loom. After several classes and much experimentation, Gail began felting hats of many styles and shapes. One result of the classes was her own “felted goddesses” which seem to come alive and develop personality as the felter works to create the face and then the body, rendering each as individual as its creator.
Color and texture have always been priorities for Gail. As she became more accomplished in these areas, she created her own color way. Thus was born The Kangaroo Dyer. Using her instinct for color, Gail begins with un-dyed skeins of yarn, creatively blending until the final product is both beautiful to look at and sensual to handle. As a by-product, Gail now hand-dyes silk scarves and sashes, creating elegant fashion accessories at a modest price.

You will need to call the shop to get on the list to participate.  We will mail your yarn to you or you can pick it up at the shop the first week of the month. We are only going to have 30 skeins each month so if you are interested I would call soon.  If I see that it's growing we will raise the Quantity.  We will have a contest every 3rd month and have judging on the socks for a small gift from Calla Lily. If you live out of town you can send a photo via email to participate ....We would like to feature the sock in the shop, along with the pattern you used for your sock.

I hope you will join us for this fun event!!!  Can't wait to see your creations!
