A pleasing brown tinted gray, dark but much warmer in appearance than charcoal. Love the tonal quality. Coordinates nicely with Cozy Cabin.

Hand Dyed Yarn for All Crafts and Makers

I've been a rabid fiber fanatic for most of my life. It all started when my grandmother taught me how to crochet, and then shortly afterwards knit, when I was about 8 years old. Decades later I found myself making hats and other accessories to sell online. I also wrote a few knitting and crochet patterns along the way.

It appears that my life-long love of color, knitting, crochet and design have led me down the path of dyeing yarn and running this shop. I hope the fiber fanatic in you enjoys using these yarns and that their colorways inspire you! :)

Frequently asked questions

Custom and personalized orders

Would you like your yarn wound into a cake? Just let me know and I'll do it free of charge. :)

Care instructions

Our wool yarns are superwash so they won't felt. For best results, it's best to hand wash your finished item in cool to lukewarm water and dry it flat.

Are your yarns ethically sourced?

Yes. Our yarns are sourced from strictly mulesing-free small family-owned farms throughout the Americas.

Where else can I find & buy your yarns?

In addition our Etsy shop, you can purchase (and squish!) our yarn in person at the following brick and mortar shop:

How soon can I expect my order to arrive?

We ship all our in-stock yarns via USPS one to three business days after your order is placed. Shipping times on international orders vary according to destination.
