5 out of 5 starsThe seller kindly spent time to help me pick a 6th colour to go with the set I had chosen. The yarn is so soft and luxurious feeling, I can't wait to get started on the project and see how it knits up. Delivery was fast and well packaged.

About DyeForYarn
-
We get our yarns on cones or already skeined in 50, 100 or 200g hanks.
-
We skein the cone yarns on this skeining machine, built by Nicole's husband (an engineer).
-
Ashford provides 12 dyes which we use to get the whole spectrum of our color range, from light to dark, muted to intense
-
Our dye lots are small. We use white vinegar to fixate the colors and unscented silk/wool washing agent to wash our yarn
-
The drying process is very classical on regular laundry racks with a dehumidifier installed in the room.
From Science to Yarn - Von der Forschung zum Garn
In our "old life" we were scientists for biology and molecular medicine at University Erlangen-Nuremberg. As science itself is a rather unsatisfying business we started knitting lace shawls in our free time, which soon lead to a need for lighter weight yarns. At that time we weren't able to find lace yarns in Germany so we decided to try dyeing them on our own. A new hobby was born that soon became a passion.
After a while we were producing so many new skeins that we thought of selling them on etsy. In the beginning of 2010 Cordula opened the first etsy shop DyeForYarn, where we still sell our silky yarn bases. In October 2010 Nicole opened the second etsy shop, DyeForWool, where you can find our woolly yarn bases. In the first year both of our shops grew and we added many new yarn bases. After 18 months of hard work and a lot of fun the scope of production became so large that we decided to quit our day job and start our own business with a brick and mortar shop.
On 26th of November 2011 we opened our brick and mortar shop in Fuerth, near Nuremberg, where we dye and sell our yarns.
Wir sind promovierte Naturwissenschaftlerinnen und waren in unserem "alten Leben" an der Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg tätig. Angefangen hat alles mit der Suche nach einem Hobby mit "Werkserlebnis". Unser Faible für Lacetücher und -stolas führte dazu, dass wir uns im Internet auf die Suche nach Anleitungen für Dreieckstücher machten. Nach ein paar ersten Versuchen mit dickeren Garnen standen wir schnell vor dem Problem, in Deutschland Lacegarne aus Naturmaterialien wie Seide und Merino zu finden. Also beschlossen wir, das Färben selbst auszuprobieren. Eine neue Leidenschaft war geboren und schon bald haben wir im Hobbykeller bzw. der Küche unsere eigenen Garne gefärbt.
Dies hat uns so viel Spaß gemacht, dass schnell klar wurde, dass sich in kurzer Zeit ein erheblicher Garnüberschuss einstellen würde. So hat Cordula beschlossen, unsere ersten Produkte auf der Online Plattform Etsy zu verkaufen. Innerhalb eines Jahres konnten wir immer mehr Kunden von unseren Produkten überzeugen, was einherging mit einem Ausbau des Angebots an Farben und Garnqualitäten. Das Produktionsvolumen erreichte jedoch nach eineinhalb Jahren Ausmaße, die nebenberuflich nicht mehr zu bewältigen waren. So entschlossen wir uns, den Schritt in die Selbständigkeit zu wagen.
Am 26. November 2011 war es dann endlich soweit. Wir eröffneten unseren Laden in Fürth, in dem wir unsere Garne färben und verkaufen.
