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.

Holy! This is delightful. When can we start making up equations, with like, different symbols for blends and plying?

Do you ever kind of want to do jousting with brussel sprout trees?
In other news, this is a color palette I would desperately love to dye.

Gorgeous display. I’m always amazed by the colors natural dyeing can achieve.

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!
