Meet Your Instructor
Karina’s journey with twining began out of necessity—her old dog refused to walk on bare floors! She taught herself to weave rugs using recycled bed linens, which soon grew into a thriving business. Now, she creates custom rugs, table runners, placemats, pet mats, and more, all woven on looms handcrafted by her husband.
Passionate about sustainability and creativity, Karina loves sharing this craft and helping others turn old textiles into treasured pieces.
