Our Journey to Here.
Hi! Welcome to our shop! Our names are Jaedyn & Tara, and we are so glad that you stopped by to have a peek at our shop!
Our yarn journey starts quite a ways back. We were both taught to knit and crochet at a young age by our grandmother, and as children are, we didn't have much use for it. As adults, we have both remembered our crafty roots, and both picked it up in full force after our children were born.
Tara is primarily a crocheter - even starting her own business as a crochet designer, along with her friend Kim. Together, they are the duo behind KnotSewCute Designs, and have many patterns to pick from! While it's crochet that has her heart, she has been dabbling in knitting recently, and has discovered a new love for the craft. It helps her unwind when she can't turn off the crochet designer part of herself.
Jaedyn started out as a crocheter, and did it for a few years, but knit patterns kept calling to her. Having no one to teach her, she turned to online video tutorials, and taught herself to knit. Since then, she has been completely addicted, and doesn't let uncertainty or skill level hold her back. The best way to learn is to learn from your mistakes, so she tends to jump in with both feet, and with a lot of enthusiasm! She also owns another Etsy shop (LittlePrairiePurl), where she sells project bags and knitting related gift tags, and also has a podcast on YouTube called "Purl Up & Dye".
As yarn crafters, we've used a lot of yarn! We believe all yarn has a spot, and a place. We will use acrylic, cotton, wool - you name it! But it was indie dyed yarn that truly grabbed our attention. After splurging on a few (ahem... many) skeins of hand dyed yarn, we started to look for specific colors, and started dreaming of yarn colorways that we couldn't find. So we started to wonder if we could dye our own... and down the rabbit hole we went.
We hope that you love the yarn we create. Each skein is carefully handled, watched and loved. Almost like each one is a small little part of ourselves that we gift to you. We absolutely love this adventure, and are so excited to have you along for the ride with us!
Your friends,
Jaedyn & Tara
