Liz Tekus, Designer

Liz Tekus, owner of Fine Points, Inc., is a knitwear designer who brings artistry, sensitivity, and creativity to every aspect of fiber art and craftsmanship. Through her retail establishments -- Fine Points and Fine Points, Too, both located in Cleveland, Ohio's Larchmere district -- Ms. Tekus offers her clients extraordinary custom knitwear, a distinctive selection of fibers and yarn supplies, and expressive clothing and accessories. In each facet of Ms. Tekus' business there exists an engaging blend of art form and function, tradition and style, spirit and whimsy. In 2006 Liz celebrated her 20-Year Anniversary in business! As knitting has taken off in popularity, so has the supply of stunning hand-painted yarns. Liz's work is particularly notable for her skilled and creative use of hand-dyed and other artistic yarns, and her facility for mixing textures.

In addition to the gallery of clothing and accessories found at Fine Points and Fine Points, Too, Ms. Tekus' fashion knitwear and design work may also be seen at juried art shows across the country. Her work has also been featured in Knitter's Stash, a compilation of the best patterns from knitting stores across America published by Interweave Press © 2001.
