The Furls Team

Wondering who is behind our witty emails? Or who makes the website run? Curious who packs all those boxes, or answers the phone when you call? The team behind Furls Fiberarts can be found all over North America and continues to grow each year! Although we usually remain hidden behind the scenes (beneath stacks of data, skeins of yarn, and more hooks than can be used in a lifetime), we wanted to share with you a little bit about ourselves so that you can meet the team behind the brand.

Brenna is the Director of Products and Graphics for Furls, which means she is responsible for the way new Furls goodies look and also things like sale banners and the little illustrations you’ll find all over the site. She has been an official part of the Furls team since June 2019, but started her relationship with Furls through hosting Amigurumi Crochet-Alongs way back in 2016. Brenna is also the whole team behind Little Raven Fiber Arts, a hobby business she founded when she was 13 years old. Outside of graphic design and fiber arts, Brenna really enjoys writing, ceramics, growing her own food, and pushing the limits of “too many” houseplants. Her favorite Furls hooks are the Odysseys, but the Streamline Swirl Galaxies are a close second.

When she isn’t exploring trends and strategizing in her day job, she can be found elsewhere on the web as both the designer and blogger at Sincerely Pam, and co-founder of Crochet Foundry Magazine. Pam’s favorite Furls hook is the Alpha, and her favorite part of getting hooks in the mail is watching her daughter’s face light up as she opens each box.

Samantha is the lady behind all of you favorite ads, from “Dogs crocheting for Christmas” to “Woman who holds her yarn in a papoose like a baby”. She has been with Furls since October 2018 and has enjoyed every bit of watching the company grow into what it is today. Her favorite furls creations are the Yellow Odyssey and Tunisian Hooks. When she’s not filming ads and writing witty emails, she enjoys candle making, crocheting, being lazy with her dog Archie, boxing, and baking.

When Crystal’s not working or crocheting, she enjoys spending time with her husband and three boys.
