5 out of 5 starsAbsolutely gorgeous! All the high saturation and vivid brilliance I’ve come to expect from this dyer. I know no other yarn or fiber like these! I feel like a dragon, wanting to hoard every bit of Spinning Mermaid I can get! XD

1 out of 5 starsI was really excited to receive this, but a month went by and it still hadn’t even shipped yet. I reached out to the shop owner who had made a simple mistake, no big deal, she said she was shipping it next day with some extras. Another 2 weeks went by, still didn’t receive anything and order still wasn’t marked as shipped. I only live 5-6 hours away from where this was shipping from, so at most it should’ve only taken 2 days tops to arrive once shipped. I reached out to the shop again to inquire about my order but never received a response. Finally just resorted to opening a case for a refund. Sucks because I was really looking forward to receiving this for a project I’m working on, but follow through seems to be lacking with this shop. 🤷♀️

5 out of 5 starsThese colors were spot on. In typical Spinning Mermaid fashion, this braid is soft, saturated and stunning. Thanks Karla!! 💜💜

5 out of 5 starsI bought this to make yarn for a gift for my sister's 40th birthday. I haven't started spinning it yet but it's beautiful! I also have to say that I loved that thank you note that was shipped with it and the little sample of BFL that I just added into the yarn I'm spinning for my new nephew's blanket. I've never used BFL before and wish I had sooner! It was so nice to spin and it will add a nice little pop of color! I will definitely buy from this shop again! Update: I spun it and it came out beautiful! I'm still new to spinning so it isn't perfect. My sister said she didn't want it plied and I had enough for the hat pattern she wanted me to crochet. It's so pretty!!!

It has always been about color..
It all began when I joined an art class at the age of 9-years-old. On a whim, I selected painting and from that moment forward I fell in love with color. Bold reds, crystal blues and vibrant greens were just a few of the colors that graced my palette as I created one artwork after the next. I've engaged in several crafting mediums throughout my life including doll-making, drawing and ceramics to name only a few. However, in 2009 I rediscovered my love for knitting and yarn. One sunny morning, sitting in the middle of my garden something changed. I cannot really describe it but I can only say I went through a deep transformation while knitting. Just by seeing that bright and textured fuchsia yarn between my needles my artistic horizon expanded. It was like a gap in my creative endeavors was being filled. Right then, right at that moment my dream was born.
After that day, what was only a leisure pursuit; it became a labor of love and fiber obsession. Now, I can say my work with natural fibers and yarn has proven to be the most rewarding and fulfilling. There is just something so magical about taking a pristine skein of natural fiber and flooding it with lively color.
With the same passion that I took this path, with great pride I offer high quality hand-dyed yarns and fibers in a wide array of colors. Inspired by the colors found in nature, I take pleasure in delivering vibrantly colored fibers and yarns to my customers. There is nothing I love more than creating gorgeous fibers and fresh colorways that will inspire you to knit and spin beautiful creations.
Thanks for your support!
