Instructor Bio:
Alla Hale (she/her) is a knitter based in St. Paul, Minnesota who uses fiber art to embrace her core values of creativity and connection. Each piece she creates speaks to the profound beauty of working with her hands, transforming raw materials into something functional, beautiful, or otherwise meaningful.
Alla sources her materials locally, partnering with local shepherds and foraging for dye plants in the Minnesota landscape. This practice roots her work in the community and the land, fostering a deep sense of connection to both. Teaching fiber art classes privately and with Textile Center around the Twin Cities is an extension of this connection. Through her classes she shares the skills and joy of knitting and other fiber arts, and occasionally painting, helping others discover the expressive power of fiber art.
As a practicing data scientist, Alla is captivated by the intricate designs that emerge from seemingly simple elements. The combination of each stitch, stroke, data point, and raw material tells complex and harmonious stories.
Her work celebrates the interconnectedness of community, nature, and pattern seeking. It is her hope that each piece she creates and every class she teaches resonates with a sense of place and belonging, reflecting the rich tapestry of our shared human experience. @HarvestedHues on Instagram and Ravelry
