 enter</strong>:&nbsp\;Brittany Heyen (<a href="https://www.highinfiberrugs
 .com/">High in Fiber Rugs</a>) came across rug tufting videos while itchin
 g for a hobby as many people were in 2021. After seeing enough videos of p
 eople painting with yarn to make their own carpet creations\, she did the 
 research and got started.&nbsp\;Her work is created with sustainability in
  mind by sourcing primarily secondhand yarn and thrifting items to upcycle
 .</p>\n<p>She has been selling her work at markets\, hosting pop-up worksh
 ops\, and most recently\, has opened a studio/storefront in Lincoln Square
  Mall\, where she leads rug tufting workshops and hosts guest instructors 
 to teach other fiber arts such as crochet\, knitting\, sewing\, weaving\, 
 embroidery\, beading\, macram&eacute\;\, felting\, and more\, while offeri
 ng retail with a focus on handmade and vintage selections.</p>\n<p><span s
