Our Staff:
Mary Rollins LOVES to knit and helps others find the just right yarn they need for their projects. Before working at Castaway Yarns, she spent her career in nursing. She's been knitting for about 8 years. Mary is wonderful at answering any knitting questions you may have! Martha Dragic learned to sew at an early age, and took up knitting when she retired about 7 years ago from the MU Law School faculty. She has experience with garment construction and fit, and loves working with the colors and textures of yarn. She also likes to try new techniques for making sweaters, such as the Cocoknits Method and can answer all your questions about that. Kendra Feltych has been knitting since she was 8 years old, or about 65 years, so you could say she is the most experienced knitter around! She's great at helping people with knitting problems and is very patient! Vickie Spain has been knitting for over 35 years and worked in a couple of our local yarn stores between teaching jobs. Before opening Castaway Yarns, she was a mathematics/science educator with a PhD in Mathematics Education. She loves helping customers decide what they would like to knit, what yarn would be a perfect fit for their projects, how to knit, and assisting when knitting problems arise. WE ALL look forward to seeing you in the shop! :-)
