I’m Jess, the knitter, crocheter, sewist and all-things-craft enthusiast behind Lockhart Fiber Co.

Born and raised in Austin, TX, live music and keeping it weird are in my blood. But as my hometown has grown, it’s gotten a bit too big for its britches (or, uh, infrastructure). So, I’ve boot-scooted on down a few miles south to Lockhart. It’s in this smaller town that I’m pursuing some Texas sized dreams.

My history is one firmly rooted in the textile and fiber crafts world. I was raised on family stories of the strong women who made with their own hands. I crocheted my first chains at feet of my grandma as she worked on blankets for each of her many grandchildren. Every Christmas, I celebrate with the hand sewn and beaded stockings made by my Granny.

I firmly believe that to make is more than just a hobby; it is an expression of love. That love is what I want to share through Lockhart Fiber Co., and what I hope you will share with your own creations.
