About Anna

Hi! I'm Anna.

I'm a Jersey girl turned Colorado mama to two little girls who inspire everything I create.

What started as a fun way to add a personal touch to their sweaters quickly became something much more. In the middle of the endless demands of motherhood, I found a creative outlet that filled my cup instead of draining it.

For years, I struggled with the guilt that can come from taking time for myself. But when I sat down to stitch, I wasn't taking time away from my children, I was creating something for them. Somewhere along the way, the guilt disappeared and was replaced with fulfillment.

Now, even if it's just 15 minutes a day, I know I have something that's mine. A creative outlet that helps me recharge so I can show up as the best version of myself for my family.

Aspen Lyn Outlet is about more than embroidery. It's about helping busy moms rediscover themselves through creativity, one stitch at a time.

What you'll find here

Yarn embroidery is hand-stitching with soft, weight-4 yarn onto knit sweaters, blankets, totes and more, using a printed stick-and-stitch pattern as your guide. It's beginner-friendly, and every design in my shop is hand-drawn by me and tested on real pieces.

You can start with a DIY yarn embroidery kit that has everything included, print a digital pattern at home, or grab one of my 100% cotton knit sweaters and blankets to stitch on.
