Chara Craft and Yarn

I have always been a crafty kind of person, but never really found 'my thing' until in late 2011, I was unable to drive or look after my newborn due to chronic back pain, my mother took leave from her job and came and looked after our family 3. Not being able to do much at all except lie down I asked my mum to teach me to crochet, from their I became totally 'hooked' making things for family and

friends. I discovered a whole new world of colour when I came across
hand-dyed yarns through a friends link on FB. In the beginning of 2013 I started to dye my own yarns. I had been reading lots of blogs, watching youtube clips, speaking with other hand-dyers and then starting to begin dyeing my own yarns. I do it mainly for fun as a creative outlet. As I was enjoying what I was doing I started to share it on FB after a while I realised I probably should have a page that was dedicated just for my crochet and my dyes, so that I didn't fill up friends newsfeeds with stuff they weren't interested in...so Chara Craft and Yarn was created. Chara means Joy in Greek, Joy is what I feel when I am working on a new project or playing in the dye pots.
