Hello! I'm Carolyn Carleton, the fibre artist and designer behind Living Skies Fibre Studio.

​

My fibre arts journey began in my teens, knitting alongside my Grandmother. From those early days, a deep love for fibre arts was born, and it has remained with me ever since. I live in the Land of Living Skies—Saskatchewan, Canada—with my husband and two adult daughters. The natural beauty of this place is a constant source of inspiration for my original crochet and knitting designs.

​

Since publishing my first pattern in 2014, I've had the privilege of seeing my work featured in magazines, subscription boxes, and celebrated as best-sellers on platforms like Etsy and Ravelry.

​

Fibre arts became a significant source of mental wellness for me during a challenging period of health issues. There is a unique healing power in the rhythmic, linear movements of working with fibre—a process that seems to reveal something new about myself with every stitch. This passion has evolved into a lifelong pursuit of creativity and well-being.

​

Driven by my love for fibre, I’ve been teaching this craft for several years at local arts centers and in school classrooms. In 2019, I created "Weaving into Wellness," a hands-on workshop that combines the meditative practice of weaving with an exploration of the mental health benefits of fibre arts.

​

I am a proud member of the Prince Albert Spinners and Weaver's Guild and recently became an ambassador for the Campaign for Wool in Canada.

​

Thank you for joining me on this journey through fibre and wellness.
