Lorain has always been someone who enjoys “playing with string”. In addition to knitting, dyeing and weaving she also spins, crochets and needle tats. She is a lifelong resident of Northern Kentucky and currently lives in Florence with her dog, cat, fish and an embarrassingly large amount of string.
