About Post Apocalyptic Yarns

Post Apocalyptic Yarns

I spin yarns that reflect my interest in all things spooky

Hi, I’m James, nice to meet you!

My Nan taught me to knit when I was 8, and that started my lifelong love of the fibre arts, taking me from knitting to crochet, with a bit of weaving and lacemaking thrown in.

Quite a few years later Stephen King taught me to love horror-stories. I went from ‘Needful things’ to ‘The Stand’ and watched all the scary films I could find in between.

Later, I found spinning, and got inspired when I realised that I could spin yarns that reflect my interest all things spooky

Post-Apocalyptic yarns was born, focussing on yarns that reflect the bleak, scary, and dystopian, as well as the comfy, cozy and squishy.

I’m obsessed with the process and meditative quality of spinning, and I spin at home in the evenings, working mostly with an e-spinner, and occasionally a drop spindle. I find inspiration everywhere, in films, stories, pictures and the world around me
