About the artist: Allison Jai O'Dell is a long-time animal rights and animal welfare activist, who fell in love with spinning yarn. Her goal is to seek and promote compassionate approaches to fiber farming and harvesting.

Within the CompassioKnit brand, you'll find loads of handspun yarns and unique textiles, made from plant-based and synthetic fibers, and sometimes wools and protein fibers purchased from folks who view their companion animals as friends, rather than commodities.

Allison has a distinct interest in spinning whimsical, but highly functional, art yarns. If you're looking for a knock-out project that you can feel truly good about, think CompassioKnit!
