My Story

I’m Kathy Nielsen, the yarn gal behind Expressions in Yarn.  

I first learned to crochet decades ago...as in the early 1980's while still single and working my first full-time job.  As I entered marriage and parenthood, I set my hooks down for the most part.   In 2018, I was fortunate to retire early from my career.  Soon thereafter, I picked up my hooks, visited the yarn stores and away I went and haven't looked back.  I've always heard that one should pursue their passion after their career and I believe I have.  I am excited to share it with all of you! 

I love to create items that appeal to me personally...everything from blankets and throws to personal care items to seasonal home decor. 

Handcrafted, heirloom quality and one of a kind are the benchmarks of my work. 

All items are made in a smoke-free environment. 

Most inventory can be custom ordered in colors other than shown.
