About Julie
My name is Julieanne Pitts, owner of Traveling Fiber Artist- LaBaa Yarns
I have moved to Florida where I plan on continuing with all the fiber arts I have always loved doing. I will continue to teach others all the skills I have developed over my entire life. I can’t remember when I didn’t make toys, sew, knit, crochet and create.
I teach in my home in North Port, Florida and I also teach at A Good Yarn, Sarasota, Florida. In 2021 I will be teaching again John C. Campbell Folk School. Brasstown, North Carolina.
Background
In the 1990’s I left the corporate world and decided to become serious about having a business doing what I loved. I took many classes to advance my skills. I learned more about Knitting, Crocheting, Heirloom sewing, Smocking, Quilting and discovered Artistry Teddy Bear Making. I became a Certified Spare Bear Parts instructor, selling their products and teaching. I became involved in the Teddy Bear world, designing my own Teddy Bear patterns and I started doing Teddy Bear shows. In 2003 my Teddy Bear studio and classroom was built where for many years I taught and created.
In the early 2000 I decided to learn Spinning, Weaving and Rug Hooking.
In 2007, I expanded my business by opening a yarn shop on the Granbury, Texas old town square. A few years later I moved my business to the Yeats-Duke Museum, where I became the Curator of the Yeats-Duke Museum for the city of Granbury. At the Yeats-Duke Museum I also demonstrated many fiber related equipment and supplies. I demonstrated and taught spinning, weaving, hooking along with knitting and crocheting.
I have retired as Curator of the museum and moved to Florida. I love Florida and continue to teach.
My specialty now is making Memory Bears while recycling fur coats. Samples are shown in the Teddy Bear section.
LaBaa Yarns is what I do at my home. Kits are created from my yarns and supplies. I teach Knitting, Crocheting, Weaving, Spinning & Punch Needle.
More information is under the LaBaa and Teddy Bear section.
