Robyn's favorite part of working at ReBelle is teaching, both classes and one-on-one. When knitting, she gravitates toward shorter projects, accessories like hats and mitts, but also loves larger projects, especially shawls. Robyn’s favorite colorways tend to be saturated jewel tones in blues, greens, and purples, although, lately, she’s been developing an appreciation for pastels and neutrals. Robyn is co-owner of ReBelle who has a passion for community art projects, a love of urban trekking, and she’s a board game enthusiast. ReBelle offers supplies and classes for knitting, crochet, spinning, dyeing, tapestry weaving, cross stitch, and embroidery. ReBelle has been located at 225 Rosemont Garden since 2012. ReBelle is an eclectic fiber arts shop that specializes in natural fibers (think wool, alpaca, cotton, linen, hemp, silk, nettle, and more) and brilliantly dyed colors. Limestone Street across from UK’s north campus, ReBelle started as a knitting shop and boutique of handmade items emphasizing reuse (the name ReBelle is a play on the idea of re-beautification, turning trash into treasure.) While many of the boutique items have disappeared from the shelves to be replaced with yarn, the environmental focus remains.
Sarah Hood and Robyn Wade were childhood friends who decided to turn their love of yarn and DIY into a business so in 2006 they moved back to their hometown of Lexington, Kentucky to open ReBelle.
