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.

My LYS - that’s “local yarn store” for the uninitiated - is the best.
Fun with dyeing! Lots of wool that’s going to be plyed with hand-combed llama.
I keep having this absolutely horrific desire to buy a great deal of inexpensive yarn in bright colors to feed my new crochet habit.
Bad idea, brain. Chill.
I’ve got some spare merino roving though, maybe I can dye a rainbow and spin myself a stash.

I love skeins with bright saturated colors, that have a bit of white mixed throughout.
Holy shit! I bow at the feet of whoever dyed this, for I am not worthy.
Did some dyeing yesterday, to get back into the swing of things, and I’m really happy with how it turned out.
The wool is Canadian-grown Scottish Blackface. It’s a hard-wearing long wool.
I love the color - it’s basically bio-luminescent. It reminds me of vintage jadeite housewares, strong plastic dishes similar to pyrex and bakelite.
So pretty! Can’t wait to spin it up.
