Adella Colvin

Adella Colvin is an American yarn dyer.

Career Colvin first began knitting at 34, at the suggestion of an older neighbor after her husband was deployed to Afghanistan and Colvin wanted to find a hobby. Vogue had featured "only a handful" of Black knitters on its cover in almost 90 years, and many Black knitters found the questions hypercritical. She is originally from New York City. She is married and lives in Grovetown, Georgia with her husband, an Army veteran who works in cybersecurity. She has a daughter born in 2016 and two stepchildren.
