Carefully Crafted Color ... My Creativity Inspiring Your Creativity

I've been a lifelong creative spirit ... crafter ... designer ... knitter ... now dyer.
~
I'm a one-person operation ... from dyeing and winding your yarn, to packing your order.
~
I love working with color, and am fortunate to live in a beautiful place, where my surroundings are a continual source of inspiration.
~
My colorways tend toward bold and saturated, to make a statement, yet not shout.
~
The ultimate reward for me is to create a product that I consider an "inspiring supply" ... for my creative process to contribute to yours.
~
Enjoy!

Additional policies and FAQs
CAN'T FIND THE LISTING DESCRIPTION? Etsy has changed to a new layout that hides the description of each listing. If you're having trouble finding the description, look in the narrow column on the right side of the photos, under the 'add to cart' and overview info. Then click '+ Learn more about this item' - there's lots more info available there! My apologies for this, I can't control how Etsy displays (or in this case, hides) valuable information. As always, feel free to click 'Ask a question' or 'Message Seller' to contact me, if you have further questions.

• Hand dyed yarns can vary from batch to batch, and sometimes even from skein to skein within the same batch. You can minimize effects of this (if desired) by alternating skeins every few rows in larger projects.
• When multiple skeins are available in a listing, they are from the same batch. Always purchase enough yarn to complete your project from the same batch (i.e., from the same listing) for maximum uniformity.
• Need more skeins than currently available in a listing? Love a colorway, but want it on a different base yarn? I'd be happy to dye more for you; please send me a convo for details.

Frequently asked questions
How are you able to ship so quickly!?

All yarns in my shop are already dyed and ready to ship, and I ship daily. If there are not enough skeins remaining in stock for your project, please send me a message – in most cases, I can dye more for you, or I may even have another batch already waiting in the wings.

Do you dye custom orders?

Although I don’t develop custom colorways on request, I’m happy to dye any of my colorways (except those with 'potluck' in the title – those are one-of-a-kind) on any of my base yarns. Note that there may be slight differences in how a base yarn/colorway combination turns out depending on fiber composition, yarn construction, etc. If you decide you'd like to have some yarn dyed, turnaround time is about 2-3 weeks. When your yarn is ready, I’ll set up a reserved listing for you. Prepayment is not necessary. Send me a message with your needs!

Do you sell undyed skeins?

Yes! I charge 25% less for undyed skeins. If you’d like any of my base yarns undyed, please send me a message, and I’ll create a reserved listing for you.
