Sara Simpson is a fiber artist in Rock Hill, SC. Her primary medium is crochet, but she enjoys incorporating other fiber mediums into her work. Sara enjoys the tactile experience crochet brings to both the artist's process and to the viewer. Sara typically uses basic stitches to create her work; relying on the colors and weight of the yarn to convey emotion in each piece. Texture plays a large part in Sara's process. In addition to using traditional yarn (acrylic, cotton, wool, etc.), she has also used unconventional material as "yarn". This includes plastic bags, plastic flagging tape, old t-shirts, and old bed sheets. More recently, Sara has begun to incorporate needle felting into her work to add another layer of texture.
