The rock star of knitters and a big fan of locally-produced South African Mohair, Steven Berg, (also known as StevenBe) will be jet setting into South Africa for a short but sweet road show to present various knitting workshops alongside Mohair South Africa (MSA); giving knitting enthusiasts an opportunity to learn all the tricks and stitches from one of knitting’s leading men.

Owner of the StevenBe design, fiber and yarn shop in Minneapolis, Berg continues to make a mark in the industry. A former corporate designer whose resume includes Munsingwear, Perry Ellis and Versace, StevenBe combines his passion for knitting with his eye for design. From local enthusiasts to Hollywood types, people have taken note including A-list celebrities who loves to stockpile his sweaters and yarns.

In 2003, Berg opened the Yarn Garage in Rosemount with his sister and the large shop with a full-service yarn, knitting and needlework station became a destination for enthusiasts. Just over a year ago, StevenBe branched out, opening his South Minneapolis shop named after his design line. The new space has allowed him to expand his reach in the knitting, crocheting and needlework world.
