Parkour Kitties Fibers, founded by Lois Teo, has emerged as one of Singapore's pioneering hand-dyed yarn businesses, filling a niche that was virtually non-existent in the region. Lois, inspired by her three playful rescue cats, affectionately named her brand after their energetic antics. This venture took root after she experienced a medical emergency that prompted a career shift from her corporate job in 2017.
Having knitted and crocheted since her teenage years, Lois found solace in these crafts during her recovery period. Her passion for yarn transformed when she discovered the vibrant world of hand-dyed yarns online. Intrigued by the varied colors and techniques, she decided to convert her kitchen into a makeshift studio to start her own dyeing process. Previously, there was only one other individual in Singapore engaging in the hobby of hand-dyeing yarn.
Lois’s journey highlights her commitment to creativity and exploration, as she embraced both the art of yarn dyeing and the therapeutic benefits of knitting during a challenging time in her life. Today, Parkour Kitties Fibers continues to thrive, embodying the spirit of curiosity and resilience.
