Hi! I’m Evanie—the fibre artist behind Mivanie, a Lehigh Valley–based "brand" born from my love of texture, colour, and creating with yarn.
After working at A.C. Moore* for many years, I was lucky to meet and work alongside some incredible artists. Being surrounded by their creativity and passion inspired me to find and share my own artistic voice.
That journey led me to start Mivanie—a space where I could explore fibre arts like crochet, knitting, sewing, and embroidery. Every piece is made slowly (on purpose, not because I got distracted...), with a blend of traditional techniques and modern-day whimsy. Mivanie is my way of turning threads into something warm, grounding, and just a little bit magical. Think of it as functional art with a hug built in.
So hey, if you're dreaming up a custom piece, curious about how I turn yarn into a tangible items, or just want to swap creative vibes—don't be a stranger.
Make sure to follow me on Instagram @mivanie for glimpses into my creative journey and ongoing projects.
*If you never got the chance to walk through an A.C. Moore, you really missed out on something special. Artists, crafters, and teachers flocked there, not just for tool and supplies, but for inspiration. With frequent coupons, hands-on demos, and relatively friendly staff (retail is a special kind of workplace, ya know.) it was closer to a creative hub than a retail store. yes, I miss it dearly...
