About Dragonfly Fibers

Dragonfly Fibers is an indie yarn company
specializing in artisan dyed yarn.

It all started with some yarn, and a pot in a kitchen, and a love affair with color. Dragonfly founder Kate Chiocchio started dyeing out of her
house, an activity that caused her husband Jack to suggest she start a business. Little did he know! Thus was Dragonfly born, in 2007.

Kate hired a few of her yarn and dog friends to help out, moved the business out of her basement, and eventually hired the incomparable Nancye Bonomo. A perfect partnership was born: Kate with her creative genius, Nancye with her financial and project management skills. The two of them took Dragonfly from a pot on a stove to a nationwide company employing 12 amazing women.

In 2019, Kate decided it was time to step away from the business. She had thought to simply close Dragonfly. But when Amy Serradell of Canon Hand Dyes and Lisa Bass of White Birch Fiber Arts heard, they collectively gasped and said “NOOOOOO!”

So they partnered up, got together with Kate, and bought Dragonfly in January of 2020. Right after that the world went a little sideways…

Amy and Lisa worked together from their respective coasts throughout the pandemic, and Amy took over completely as sole owner of Dragonfly Fibers in 2022.

Dragonfly Fibers is known for high-quality knitting and crochet yarns which are hand-dyed in vibrant, rich, sometimes crazy colors. Many of the base yarns are proprietary and cannot be found anywhere else.

Dragonfly Fibers yarns can be purchased at www.dragonflyfibers.com, at fiber festivals, and at local yarn stores throughout the country
