About Us
Fiber Rhythm Craft & Design™ helps fiber crafters complete more projects, beautifully!
History
Fiber Rhythm Craft & Design opened it’s first retail location in 2014 in the Brooklyn Business Suites on SE Milwaukie Ave. We moved in the spring of 2017 to our current location in the Ford Building after participating in our first Rose City Yarn Crawl. During the pandemic, we down-sized and worked out of a 3rd floor space in the Ford Building, by appointment. We are so glad to be back on street level and able to help our customers learn and grow in their crafting endeavors.
The Team
Each of us brings our own crafting history to work with us each day. Find out more about us below.

Sales Associate, Reflective Ribbon Wrangler, Librarian
Dianne has a wide variety of crafting experience from sewing and quilting to knitting and crochet. She immersed herself in weaving while exploring her Norwegian roots. Ask her about her traditional warp weighted loom. While working on her advanced degree, Dianne has taken up birding, so check in with her about her quest for the White-tailed Ptarmigan. Little known fact: Dianne is the reason we carry our reflective yarn.
