Our dream: By moving towards selling yarn from local-ish, ethically sourced fiber, we hope you bring your sweater a little bit closer (figuratively speaking) to the sheep it came from. (Or alpaca, or goat, or bundle of flax!)
For those about to craft, we salute you.

I am so in love with this yarn like it;s a full blown crush. The little flecks of brown, the lovely pastel colour. It’s just sigh. I’m so happy I treated myself to this yarn.
And it’s nice that I know the person who makes it to.
Colourway : Robin egg
Yay! More local yarn! Not only are the Gourmet Crafter colorways amazing, but the yarn is high-quality. The softest squishiest socks you’ll ever wear.

Some of the left over wool from my Confection yarn, navajo-plied.
I’m going to put this on my table cast on to a pair of needles so people can see what it’s like, knitting with handspun.
Wool plied with Llama. I kettle-dyed all the wool together but each skein came out slightly different! I’m really pleased about it.
Can’t wait to put this yarn on my table @ Knit City in October!
I dyed this yarn with food coloring and finally found a sock pattern that really shows off the colors. Aquaphobia socks by Crystal Flanagan.
I love how this is striping! The colors are gorgeous.
One last addition to my photodump: A before and after shot!
Now it’s time to get crackin’ on my product line for Knit City!
