Weavers, spinners, knitters and stitchers are we.

Owned and operated by Susan Du Bois and Richard Yabunaka, Treenway Silks is a lively and energetic business in Lakewood, Colorado, USA.

We are so very excited to have been selected by Karen and Terry to carry forward Treenway Silks’ operations, effective August 1, 2011. The cornerstone of Treenway Silks is honesty, integrity and supplying the highest quality products and customer service. This will absolutely remain the same under our direction.

The extensive silk product line will remain the same, and beautiful dye colors will be created by three experienced Colorado dyers: Betsy, Pamela, and Peggy. Plus, Salt Spring Island dyers Cheryl and Mary will continue dyeing the lovely Montano series.

A little about us: Susan is experienced both in business and in the fiber arts. Her business experience includes 25 years in direct response marketing and financial analysis/accounting, plus she is a licensed CPA and holds three advanced degrees (MBA, MS-Accounting and MS-Marketing). Susan weaves, dyes, embroiders (she has taught silk ribbon embroidery), spins a little, and has dabbled in paper-making and felting.

Richard is well prepared to take on the shipping, having six years experience in product fulfillment. His interests include a wide variety martial art styles and he has the greenest thumb that you can imagine—keeping our yard filled with flowers and vegetables.

The most important members of our family are Kiku, our dog (a yellow-lab cross) and three beautiful cats (Yuki, Sumi, Neko) each with a distinct personality. The cats love to sit on my desk (do you think the treats I keep in the drawer is the reason?) and Kiku gets me up every morning for our daily walk around Crown Hill Lake—a beautiful and inspiring way to begin each day.

We look forward to getting to know you and inspiring your creativity with beautiful silk.

Forever in Silk—
Susan & Richard
