Teresa Ruch Designs has been in production since 1997. Originally focused on weaving, the yarn has become a larger part of our business in the last 10 years. I maintain an emphasis on color and hand in both the yarn\/fiber, weaving and dyeing, specializing in hand dyed\/painted tencel yarns in 3 weights in warps or skeins and upcycled Shibori dyed leather accessories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have a passion for color and this shows in my work. I like color on color, pattern on color and the subtle sheen of fibers like tencel. I enjoy creating a certain drape in my fabrics to get the special effects that are not often found in commercial fabrics. I use this drape to create garments that are a delight to wear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
