exquisite."

the exciting and innovative fusion of knitting with the ancient
craft of shibori and she has created knitting gold."

"At the intersection of knitting and felting lies shibori, and who
better to present this technique and the gorgeous, sculptural
results it yields than Gina Wilde, fiber artist
extraordinaire."

"Anyone who's ever seen a skein of Alchemy Yarns of Transformations
knows that Wilde, the company's cofounder and creative force, has
an eye for dramatic artistry. She applies it now to the Japanese
practice of shibori, the resistance-felting technique that
transforms fabric into movable sculpture."
