Meet the Outlaw HQ Crew
Deb doesn't usually wear a tiara (or take selfies), but sometimes you need a little sparkle in your life.
Deb is the owner of Outlaw Yarn which means she does all the stuff, all the time, like all small business owners. Therefore she is very tired and probably needs a drink. If Deb was a cartoon character she would be Velma from Scooby Doo. If you've ever met her husband (aka Shaggy), and her kid (aka Scrappy Doo), this will make perfect sense to you. |
Ethan is the God of the Knitting, or possibly just the Pope. He can usually be found in the shop at HQ dispensing knowledge and occasionally wisdom.
If Ethan doesn't know it, then it's probably not worth knowing, or is some obscure kiwiana reference (we have been educating him with re-runs of Outrageous Fortune, and Kiwi music nights at home). If Ethan was a cartoon character he would be a cross between Maleficent and Edna "E" Mode from The Incredibles. To use one of his catch phrases, "I'm not wrong". |
This is Pearlin, looking like the serene angel that she is. Pearlin is our Master Crocheter, and also a knitter. She is an overwhelming force of kindness and creativity, which cancels out the black vortex of Ethan and Deb.
Pearlin teaches our Learn to Crochet classes and spreads joy in the shop and the Den on a regular basis. If Pearlin was a cartoon character she would be Love-a-lot Care Bear because her favourite colour is PINK. |
Lou is the newest member of the team and she can't knit or crochet! However she wants to learn and she's going to blog and vlog all over our social media about what it's like to be a new yarn crafter.
You can follow her adventures here on her blog Never Been Knit. Lou has fabulous style and we are looking forward to getting to know her better - she's only been part of the Crew for 5 minutes! If Lou was a cartoon character she would be Josie and the Pussycats. All of them. |
This could be you! |
