Amy has been knitting for over 50 years, crocheting for almost 40, and spinning for about 15 years. While she is always knitting, the type of knitting varies widely: from lace to cables to colorwork, from sweaters to wedding shawls to socks. You can usually find her knitting shop or class samples. Although a passionate lifetime knitter, it was only in 2017, when contemplating a career change, that the idea for McWalker Yarns was born. It was the dream of an open and colorful yarn home where people who love yarn can shop and congregate.

Lauren is a long-term knitter, usually seen knitting new colorwork patterns, often with a Halloween theme. More recently, Lauren has taken up crochet with a passion, and loves to make little amigurumi figures!
