Henry Moran is a yarn dyer and fiber artist based in Rochester, NH. He learned to knit as a child, but otherwise didn’t interact with fiber until he tripped into processing a discarded fleece in 2019.

For organization’s sake, Henry created HMFibercraft in 2022, and intends to cram as many fiber-related, modestly monetizable projects under it as he possibly can until it inevitably begins to fight back. He specializes in creating harmonious color palettes and in developing variegated colorways specifically for garment knitting, and lives with his wife Sam and two tiny, gorgeous, and troublesome rescue dogs.
