At Storyteller Stitchery, we blend the rich textures of fiber arts with the captivating narratives of books and the natural world. Founded by Melissa in the Arizona desert, our shop is a celebration of storytelling through crafting. Each of our products—from hand-dyed yarn and fiber to unique embroidery supplies and handmade wooden tools—is inspired by the characters, worlds, and adventures found within the pages of a book, as well as the stories of nature and place.
Our Philosophy
We believe in the joy of creating something beautiful and meaningful. Crafting is not just an activity; it's a way to connect with the stories that inspire us and to weave those narratives into our everyday lives. Our hand-dyed yarns capture the essence of these stories, offering you a palette of colors that brings your favorite tales and the beauty of the natural world right to your fingertips.
Meet Melissa
Originally from North East England, Melissa was first introduced to the world of knitting by her Nana, who taught her the basics as a child. It wasn’t until 2005 that she picked up the needles again, rediscovering her passion for fiber arts. Now, deeply ingrained in the vibrant landscapes of Arizona, Melissa finds inspiration in her surroundings and the rich tapestry of literature. With expertise in knitting, spinning, and dyeing, she infuses love and meticulous care into every product, aiming to share the joy of storytelling through each crafted piece.
