Heavenly fibers and out of this world colors!
Celestial Strings Yarn was born of a desire to create stunning, saturated, vibrant hues with luxurious fibers inspired by the cosmos.
Celestial Strings is committed to bringing you the absolute best Indie Dyed yarn, and I cut no corners to obtain that.
My dye process starts with hand selecting each and every yarn I purchase. I look for consistency in every ply, a soft and even hand, and yarns that are free of VM such as grass, dirt, or twigs. I purchase yarns with quality in mind to ensure that your knitting, crocheting, or weaving is as uninterrupted as possible.
Every dye is hand picked by me, tested and retested for consistency in color and saturation. My dye supplier is in state and carries a wide range of dyes and adds new ones frequently to stay on trend, making it easier for me to acquire new colors year round.
I employ many techniques to dye yarn, including speckling, hand painting, kettle dyeing, dip dyeing, and gradients to name a few. Here is where I put in extra time to ensure that your yarn is the absolute best Indie Dyed yarn you've ever used. Usually when a yarn is dyed and rinsed that's the end of that yarns story. It's dried and shipped off to the customer, and that's the end of the process. Celestial Strings believes that more needs to be done. Dyeing can leave yarn brittle, dry, splitty, or just just plain limp. In a proprietary two step process I clean and condition every skein after it's dyed without the addition of lanolin or fragrances. It's time consuming and adds an extra day to the production time but it's worth it.
