Pleasant Valley Textiles – BWIPS Vendors and Brands 2023

Kathryn Pokalo, the founder of Pleasant Valley Textiles, has long enjoyed working with fibers and textiles. She learned how to knit at 13 when visiting friends in England. Then, a high school friend taught her how to crochet.  While Kathryn was exploring and experimenting with ideas for a small business that would combine her interests in textiles and creating something useful by hand, she learned about, went to see, and subsequently purchased a feltloom, a needle-felt machine designed and manufactured in Kentucky.  Pleasant Valley Textiles offers hand-made objects that are useful, pleasing to the eye, and pleasant to touch.
