My parents used to think that I would become a string player because of how I would curl my fingers around things. They were half right.
Hi, I'm Abigail! I'm an 20 year old college student currently working on getting a certificate in entrepreneurship, and I love all things fiber!
My attraction to the world of fiber-y things started in the fourth grade when my mom taught my sister and me how to crochet. After learning the basics, I took a break for approximately one year…but something drew me back to it. Over the years I taught myself how to knit, felt, and ... after attending a class at a fiber festival and watching YouTube videos ... dye. And now, here I am with my shop Arsenic Dyeworks!
The inspiration for the colorways come from movies, books, shows, and random objects. There will be a lot of Alice in Wonderland/ Through the Looking-Glass related colors. :)
All of my yarns are dyed with professional acid dyes, and thoroughly rinsed with an unscented wool wash. They are dyed in a smoke-free and dog-friendly home. I do my best to make sure there is no bleeding; but, to be on the safe side, I recommend washing it by itself for the first couple of washes; especially reds since they're really finicky. All bases are mulesing-FREE! Need your yarn wound? I offer that service as well.
Oh, and in case you’re wondering about the unusual name of my shop, Arsenic Dyeworks: [As] is the Periodic Table symbol for Arsenic ... which just so happens to be my initials.
Enjoy your visit!

5 out of 5 starsIncredibly stunning🙌🏻 It was shipped the day after I ordered and I received it a few days later. The packaging and hand written note were a great touch! I can’t describe how soft this is or how much more beautiful it is in person. Pictures don’t do it justice! I will absolutely be ordering more.
