Known as a fibre artisan and reality TV star, armed with experience and a firm belief in the power of creativity that knitting and crocheting can offer he will be at the Cape Craft & Design Institute on Saturday 20 May and tickets can be purchased via Webtickets.
Owner of the StevenBe design, fibre and yarn shop in Minneapolis, Berg is a former corporate designer whose resume includes Munsingwear, Perry Ellis and Versace. He combines his passion for knitting with his eye for design.
In 2003, Berg opened the Yarn Garage in Rosemount with his sister and the large shop with a full-service yarn, knitting and needlework station became a destination for enthusiasts. Just over a year ago, StevenBe branched out, opening his South Minneapolis shop named after his design line. The new space has allowed him to expand his reach in the knitting, crocheting and needlework world.
Lindsay Humphreys of Mohair South Africa added, “For those knitters who want to get all the inside scoop on the latest yarns, techniques, colourways and textiles from across the globe, be sure to book your spot! StevenBe is a true genius of his craft and we can’t wait to welcome him to South Africa.”
