  • All Toil & Trouble yarn is hand dyed in beautiful Salem, Massachusetts!

Geeky Fiber Fiend

It all started with an 8 year old girl and a crochet hook. That little girl spent all her time designing her own crochet pieces and dreamed of selling them one day.

Soon after learning to crochet, I learned to knit. I spent all my time playing with yarn, designing (admittedly not the greatest) pieces, and pretending to sell them on a table outside my bedroom door. I didn't get many customers, but it was the beginning of a dream.

Over the years, knitting took a back seat and I experimented with many loves, including illustration, watercolors and oil-painting. I even went to school and got degrees in psychology and architecture, but the call of fiber never stopped. In 2009, I gave into my love of fiber. I started my business and found my way back to that original childhood dream. When I learned how to dye my own yarn, I got to combine my love of playing with color, painting and fiber.

I love creating fun accessories and colorful yarn! I hope you love them too.

I believe that yarn is a manifestation of possibility! When I design knit pieces, I am investigating the process of creation and embracing the blank slate that is yarn. When I am dyeing yarn, I feel like I am creating little pieces of possibility to share with the world.

    I was born and raised in Brazil, growing up surrounded by beaches and sunshine. I now live in snowy Massachusetts with my husband and two cats. I've been playing with fiber for over 20 years. I'm an unrelenting bookworm and geek.

Shipping
We use standard USPS First Class shipping unless otherwise requested. We are happy to offer shipping upgrades, but please keep in mind this will increase the shipping costs. All U.S. packages are shipped with a tracking number.

We care about the environment, and ship only with high quality biodegradable envelopes. When you purchase Toil & Trouble goods, you can be confident that your packaging will not be sitting in a landfill for years to come! These envelopes are also reusable, so we encourage you to re-use your package.

International Packages: We ship international packages using standard USPS Air Mail. If you require insurance or a tracking number, you as the customer are responsible for these additional costs.

Customs and Duties charges: These are charges imposed by the each country's government. The buyer is responsible for paying these charges should they arise.

Once a package has been shipped, it is under the jurisdiction of the Post Office, and we are no longer responsible for the package.
Additional policies and FAQs
Custom Dyeing:
We offer custom dyeing to retail clients for a 10% surcharge.

Why is custom dyeing more expensive than one of your regular colorways?
We have all our dye recipes figured out for our existing colorways. To make something custom for you, we need to start over, mix new recipes, and test them.

What if I want one of your existing colorways, but just want to change it slightly?
In this case, the above is still true - even something that sounds simple, like adjusting color ratios or making a color lighter or darker, requires us to mix new formulas.

Yarn Winding:
We offer winding services at a rate of $1 per 100 yards, rounding down to the closest dollar. Please contact us to arrange for winding services.
