Store Owner

I’m so excited to introduce myself as the owner of Royal Bee Yarn.

I’m a longtime Pacifica local (since 2016!) and a project manager with a background in mechanical engineering, but my heart has always been in making. I’ve been knitting, crocheting, and crafting since I was a kid, and I still use my grandmother’s knitting needles.

In 2022, I went to the Rhinebeck Sheep & Wool Festival and it changed everything. I realized yarn is more than a hobby, it’s a community. Since then I’ve knit sweaters, spun yarn, and fallen in love with the amazing world of fiber arts. I’ve visited Lambtown, Flock Fiber Festival, and joined the Bay Area Yarn Crawl crew. I’m always looking for my next fiber adventure.

What do I love most? Making handmade beautiful things and meeting the people who make them. That’s what first drew me to Royal Bee and the special space Kelley built. I feel so lucky to carry that forward and keep building a space where people can learn, create, and connect.

Pacifica is the best place to knit by the ocean.
