Textile Arts

Dayna Lancaster’s journey with the fiber arts began at eight years old, knitting and sewing through 4-H, guided by her mother, Dancy Noble—herself a North Country artist. Over the years, Dayna dabbled in watercolor and acrylic painting, but it wasn’t until later in life that she truly found her artistic home: fiber. What started with a love of knitting and garment sewing evolved into a passion for spinning yarn and creating one-of-a-kind heirloom quilts. For Dayna, playing with color—whether in yarn or fabric—is pure joy. Recently, she and her husband added The Shed to their farm, a cozy creative space that houses her long arm quilting machine, her fiber arts shop, and a welcoming studio for classes and collaboration. It’s a place where creativity is shared, stories are told, and learning is encouraged. Dayna creates hand-crafted knitted pieces and heirloom quilts. When working individually, she creates pieces which capture the vision of each client. She also offers group classes and private lessons in knitting, spinning, quilting, sewing, and fiber processing—always with warmth, encouragement, and a belief that anyone can learn with a little guidance, a touch of humor, and a lot of heart.
