My name is Stacey Rivera; owner, indie dyer, spinner and weaver behind RiverRat Yarn!
I have always loved painting with watercolor, acrylic, oil, any medium I could get my hands on! Married to my high school sweetheart and best friend, an infantry Marine for over 30 years, I’ve had many careers over the years of changes in duty stations, but my true passion has always been my family and my art.
My great grandmother taught me to knit when I was very young. Creating with color, molding fiber into fabric became a great passion of mine. It was only natural and fluid to combine all of my passions together. So when my husband was getting ready to retire after 30 years, I took his call sign “RiverRat” and turned it into our next chapter: RiverRatArts & RiverRatYarn.
Moving to rural PA, we bought our very first home. The vibrant colors of the seasons of beautiful Pennsylvania never leave me lacking inspiration.
I hope the passion and love I have for what I do is infused into my work and enables everyone to find something they love. You can always find my work on my website RiverRatYarn.com or on Instagram @RiverRatArts
