About Us
Kathleen and Nick Greco, are partners in Dimensional Illustrators, Inc. owners of Jelly Yarn®.
Kathleen Greco, artist and craft book author, “I developed the idea for our unique Jelly Yarn® while writing one of my first knitting books Yummy Yarns. I wanted to design a knit purse using a waterproof material instead of conventional fiber yarns. I also liked the concept of crocheting or knitting a glossy texture. Using my industrial design background I formulated the idea into a contemporary waterproof textile and Jelly Yarn® was born! Bright delicious neon, glow-in-the-dark, black light colors are named after candies and sweets.”
Our Books include: Jelly Yarn: 20 Cool Projects for Girls to Knit and Crochet, Knitters Guide to Combining Yarns, Yummy Yarns: Knits for Kids, and Beyond The Scarf.
