Autistic indie dyer who may or may not be neuroqueering their process. Proceeds from sales support my neuro-atypical family and my PhD project into neurodivergence.
A monochrome fade can be spiced up by a true dark black. I use two different dyes with different attributes to ensure my black is very black, and that elevates the whole experience of this grey set. You can also get Midnight Black Cat separately. #mothyandthesquid #yarn mothyandthesquid.com

Pthalo Green is the internet’s choice for colour of the year 2026. It’s gorgeous and very versatile if you can get over that “feminine” urge to shrink yourself and conform. You’ve been told you can’t wear green but you *can* enjoy your one precious life in vivid hues. #mothyandthesquid #yarn

I specialise in colour, so white and ultra light greys are not really my area, but I do appreciate many people love them. I think there’s a lot to unpack with the Pantone colour of the year and yet my sales of white and grey have improved so here we are. Mothyandthesquid.com #mothyandthesquid #yarn

Northern Lights on merino Pima cotton sock. A variegated mix of swirling greens and blues with dark black, beautiful and ethereal. I created this effect using dyes that bind to the wool but not the cotton for beautiful glints of white light throughout the skein. #mothyandthesquid #yarn

Top Nine from February 2025 - cat yarn continued to be popular but dog yarn was an absolute disaster. 😂 I had to rename, overdye, discount, and eventually give it away to get rid of it. 🤦🏼♀️ mothyandthesquid.com #mothyandthesquid #yarn #knitting #crochet
