Contemporary fiber art shaped by nature + place
Original textile artwork and site-specific commissions for residential, hospitality, and architectural spaces
where material holds memory
MATERIALS MATTER
-
RECYCLED MATERIALS
Sustainability begins with material choices. I incorporate recycled cotton rope and thoughtfully sourced fibers into my work, giving existing resources new purpose through traditional craftsmanship and contemporary design.
-
FROM THE FAMILY FARM
My connection to natural materials began on our family farm in Pennsylvania. Today, wool sourced from the family's sheep continues to find its way into my artwork, connecting my creative practice to the place where it all began.
-
NATURAL HAND SPUN FIBERS
Wool, linen, jute, raffia, and other natural fibers bring their own character to each piece. Their varied textures and organic qualities are an essential part of my artistic practice.
-
NON TOXIC PROCESSING
From washing raw wool to dyeing natural fibers, I carefully select non-toxic soaps and dyes that are gentler on both the materials and the environment. These choices reflect my commitment to responsible practices throughout the creative process.

Behind The fiber
Nicole Hemmerly
The founder and fiber artist behind MossHound Designs. Growing up on a family farm shaped my appreciation for nature and the beauty found in everyday surroundings. A lifelong curiosity about art, history, and the natural world continues to influence my creative practice. Through travel and exploration, I gather inspiration from the landscapes, textures, and stories of the places I visit, bringing those experiences into my work. What began in 2015 has evolved into an ongoing exploration of fiber, form, and the possibilities of working by hand.

Beneath the Surface, my solo exhibition at Cascada Thermal Springs + Hotel, brought together techniques I’ve developed over a decade of working with fiber. Through dyeing, felting, weaving, and binding, I explored how contrasting fibers could give a single piece both structure and movement.
