Terry Neal
From childhood, fiber has been integral to Terry’s identity, sparking a lifelong curiosity about its role in everyday life. Her exploration of fiber’s potential, from raw material to thread, yarn, fabric, and art, has led her to explore a diverse range of techniques, including spinning, knitting, crocheting, dyeing, weaving, needle felting, embroidery, needlepoint, tatting, and sewing. Terry’s passion for sharing her knowledge is evident in her past teaching experiences at the YMCA, fiber events, and local craft stores. These experiences culminated in the creation of Tempe Yarn & Fiber, where for over 19 years, she has dedicated herself to teaching or creating her own art. Most days find her in her dye studio, where Tempe Yarn’s Dyelicious Yarn Line is dyed. Driven by a mind brimming with ideas and “What Ifs,” Terry’s primary goal still remains to inspire and support others on their own unique fiber journeys.
