Hi! I'm a literary historian who just so happens to also love crocheting whenever I can, and now I'm an Indie yarn dyer! My journey started after being overwhelmed by academic life compounded by regular stress and our world falling apart.

I started crocheting and knitting to take my mind off of things and really took the words of author and activist Audre Lorde seriously when she reminded us that "selfcare is an act of political warfare." We really do need to take care of ourselves if we want to be productive. We can't run on steam for long.

So I started a little thing called "antiracist crafting" where we just take back some time and restore ourselves by being creative. Fibre arts is an invaluable way to look after yourself (even your mental health).

As a woman of color ((I'm a mixed Afro/Indo Caribbean kid born in Canada) I've always been intrigued by hidden figures in the periods I research. There is so much beauty and richness in colorways that it inspired me to start this journey dyeing yarn.

I hope you enjoy my yarn! My first series is on Medieval Black figures where I pull colors and inspiration from historical manuscripts or images. I love featuring people who have been forgotten or erased, these hidden figures are gems and tell us more about history than we sometimes think.

Take care of yourselves and I hope some of my skeins inspire you.

If you are interested in a specific colorway, let me know, I love experimenting!
