About Us

Hi there! I'm Jenny, creator and owner of AJem Fiber Arts and Angoras.

In my younger years, I earned a Bachelor's Degree in Art Education and taught high school. After having my daughters, I decided to teach myself how to crochet. With lots of patience and the help of YouTube, I started at hats, and worked my way to blankets and clothing. After many years, I also picked up knitting and decided to start crocheting as a business. I started Crochet Werks and sold crocheted stuffed animals. At my first festival, I sold two items. I was so discouraged, but didn't want to give up my love of hooks and needles.

During the pandemic, I was introduced to a fiber arts group and little did I know how much that would change my life. I taught myself to spin, and it was as if a whole new world opened to me. I couldn't learn enough. In the span of one year I decided to restart my business as AJem Fiber Arts and offer handspun yarns, rolags, and batts in addition to my finished knit and crochet items. I also decided to get myself a Satin Angora and fell in love with the breed. I dedicated myself to becoming a breeder and am still learning as much as I can to start my own solid lines.

Why the lengthy story? Because like most things in life, for me this is a journey that comes with successes and failures. But I believed in myself and never gave up! And if you love fiber arts too, no matter what medium you enjoy, share that passion and keep doing it!
