SILVER DAVIN has been playing with yarn and thread ever since she was a young child. When her grandmother realized she loved crafting, she encouraged Silver, taught her how to use a sewing machine and bought her embroidery kits. Some of Silver’s happiest memories are of sitting with Grandmother as they crocheted rag rugs, sewed yoyos, and cut quilt squares.
When she was in college, Silver picked up crochet in earnest and began to crave nicer and nicer yarns. She learned to spin her own yarn, and this led to an ever-expanding passion for all aspects of fiber arts. Her specialties are crazy art yarns, memorial items made from a beloved pet’s fur, and crocheted garments made of fun and funky magic yarn.
