In honour of A Pretty Fix’s 6-year anniversary, I’ve been taking you into the blog archives and looking back at some of the most-read, most-watched posts and videos over the past 6 years. In today’s FINAL BLOGIVERSARY POST, I’m sharing the Top 6 Fibre Crafts from A Pretty Fix!
If there is ONE thing that this little blog has been known for, it’s as a resource for those interested in fibre crafts. Whether you enjoy weaving or macrame or just want to find creative ways to use cotton, wool, raffia and twine, I’ve always tried to include an interesting mix of fibre crafts to enjoy at any season and any stage in life.
Today’s very special round-up is PACKED full of tutorials for the handicraft enthusiast. I’ve included 6 categories of fibre crafts with multiple posts and/or videos that you can peruse at your leisure 🙂
Top 6 Fibre Crafts from A Pretty Fix
1. WEAVING
Seriously, how could a fibre craft round-up on A Pretty Fix NOT include weaving! Here are some of the most-read posts, in no particular order:

– Circle Weaving for Beginners (Facebook Live – it’s a long one!)
2. MACRAME
These DIYs are PERFECT for beginners, but also for anyone who loves the beauty that can be created with JUST 1 KNOT.
– Macrame Coasters Using 1 Knot (Square Knot)

5. FELT
Early in my blogging journey, I introduced a couple of felt craft ideas that were so much fun to make. You can get incredibly creative with this fiber art medium:
– Minimalist Felt Boxwood Christmas Wreath
– Yarn Wreath with Felt Flowers
6. UNIQUE YARN CRAFTS
While there are so many traditional uses for yarn, I always love to make something unexpected, like these fun favourites from the very early days of this blog!
– Over-scale Layered Garland with a Macrame Twist

August 29, 2021 at 1:53 pmThanks so much, Michelle! Can’t believe how quickly the time goes. It feels like yesterday that I had the idea to do it. And when I finally it ‘publish’ on my first post, I suddenly felt so vulnerable, so ‘out there.’ But now, I LOVE it, perhaps even more now than ever. It’s one of my favourite parts of the blogging journey. Ever-evolving and ever-creative 🙂
