Kathryn Duffy
Kathryn is a semi-retired primary school teacher with a passion for making – anything! Lover of all things textile, fibre, colour and making, she began her textile journey as a young child growing up in Yorkshire, England. Her mum worked in a wool mill and she spent her school holidays ‘helping’ at the mill.
Kathryn is a passionate quilter and although learned to knit and crochet as a child, has more recently ventured into more complex projects.
Kathryn considers herself a life-long learner and is always happy to share and discover with others. She has designed a few projects in the last year or so to be made as samples for her daughter Elisha’s yarn business “Natural Yarn Co”.
