Hi everyone! I am Yoriko. You can find my own business account at @yoriko.oki . I am the person who decided to have this online market place, Fibre Love Affair. Most of you probably followed me from my account and know a little about me. But I decided to tell a little more about myself. In recent years, I found out that challenges really fuel my creativity. A renowned weaver, Allen Fannin, once said. “Boring is good. That means there is nothing to fix.” But my life never gets “boring.” So, I have to flex my muscle of problem solving all the time. And this show is one of the examples. There are lots going on in the world right now and you may be feeling helpless and restricted. But as a knitter/crocheter/weaver/fibre artist, you have all the tools to make this challenging time a little more enjoyable in your hands! Right? But, it is true we miss community of like-minded people. So, let’s have a fun event together on October 3 and 4! I will be introducing my team in the following days, and our vendors will follow! Please stay tuned! . . . . . #yorikooki #yorikoyarn #knitting #knittinglove #yarnlove #knittersgonnaknit #indiedyer #indiedyedyarn #handdyedyarn #knitting #knitting_is_love #knittinginspiration #knitting_inspiration #instaknit #bcknittersofig #knittersofcanada #knittersofinstagram #knitstagram #knittingaddict #cantstopknitting #knitallthethings #knittinglife #tricot #tricoter #stricken #tricotaddict #knitknitknit #knitcity #knitcityvancouver #knitcityvancouver2020

Please meet Rebecca @wildwestdye ! I (Yoriko) “met” Rebecca through the Vogue Knitting Live Launch Pad program. She was planning to launch her natural dyed yarn company at Knit City Vancouver this fall since last year. I can only imagine her disappointment! Rebecca kindly agreed to be the Instagram manager for Fibre Love Affair. Once we have a vendor lineup, she will show case them on this grid. Meanwhile, please visit her grid at @wildwestdye and give her a follow! And don’t miss her pole dancing presentations. She is truly multitalented! . . . . . #knitting #knittinglove #yarnlove #knittersgonnaknit #indiedyer #indiedyedyarn #handdyedyarn #knitting #knitting_is_love #knittinginspiration #knitting_inspiration #instaknit #bcknittersofig #knittersofcanada #knittersofinstagram #knitstagram #knittingaddict #cantstopknitting #knitallthethings #knittinglife #tricot #tricoter #stricken #tricotaddict #knitknitknit #knitcity #knitcityvancouver #knitcityvancouver2020
