For the love of fiber and people

I spent most of my childhood making something: sewing doll clothes, pressing autumn leaves, baking sand cookies, storing funny-colored liquids I called “experiments” in the kitchen cupboards to my mother’s greatest mystification. Being creative seemed – and still seems – to be the best marker of childhood to me. When I was around 8, my mother started teaching me how to sew, my grandmother to knit and crochet, my great-grandmother, who was then over 80, to embroider, my wonderful art teacher, Valmira showed me how to dye silk. Fiber and people have always been inseparable to me. When I have yarn or a piece of fabric in my hands, loving someone and making something for them, with them, or thinking of them seems just about the same thing to me.

Which is why I started Blue Earth Dyeworks and would like to share my yarns with you. I hope they will inspire you to make beautiful things and remind you of your favorite people.

    I’m an art historian by day and seasoned baby soother by night. When I’m not doing either I make things: knit, crochet, sew, embroider, dye, paint. Fabric and fiber has been the love of my life since I made my first Barbie clothes.

At Blue Earth Dyeworks, we love, silk, plant parts such as cotton or indigo, and the labor of many, many people from spi fabric, and love colors. We make beautiful products with the plants, animals, and people who have made it possible in mind. We use the animal hair of wool and alpacanners to postal workers to bring you gorgeous soft yarns and scarves. To show our respect, we'll never waste anything that can be used; we'll use the most earth-friendly materials and processes available, and we'll do everything to treat every person involved with respect and kindness. Because we know that good things and beauty only comes from good deeds.

We value your opinion as we value the beauty of yarns, fabrics, and colors. Which is to mean, a lot. We'd love to know what you think - the good and the bad. If you tell us, we can make the shop, and the things you buy it it, better.
