About Pam
My interest in fiber arts started early. I learned to crochet from my mother as a child, and as a young adult, I expanded into weaving. That journey naturally progressed into spinning and eventually dyeing, deepening my connection to the craft.
I began my career as a high school chemistry and physics teacher after earning both my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in chemistry. Over time, I found myself drawn to the precision and scientific nature of dyeing yarn—a perfect intersection of my academic background and creative passions.
I have a strong preference for plant-based fibers such as cotton, linen, and Tencel. These materials align with both my aesthetic and values, and they form the foundation of my work in fiber arts.
We live on a small homestead in upstate New York with a beautiful flock of chickens—hence the name “Golden Yolks.” I’m a member of the Weaver’s Guild of Rochester and am always learning more about fiber through classes and community with the guild.
