Black Friday Week Sale starts now!

These yarn skeins are high-quality studio overruns from wholesale and online orders. Some are seconds that didn't turn out as our standard colorway. Many are one-of-a-kind or limited extras—once they're gone, they're gone.

Color Development skeins are true one-of-a-kinds (or two depending). They are skeins that I was testing color combos, striping patterns and how colors play together. They'll still be beautiful self-striping skeins 🧦 but will be unique from everyone else's! Once a color is gone, it's gone. #knitsky

Newest pair of 🧦 are off the needles! I cast these on over a year ago but then got distracted by a LOT of samples. It was wonderful to get back to them. Yarn is dyed by Full Moon Fibres. You don't appreciate this colorway until you knit it and see all the pops of colors.

Play It Up With Color - Another new self-striping colorway available in the shop.
I created this colorway for the Salida Fiber Festival and it was based on their playground. What a unique idea for color inspo! I love how it turned out and wanted to share! 🧶 🧦

Who else is dreaming of a beach vacation!?! Though the thought of air travel these days makes me think a road trip might be a better option. Either way you can enjoy beachy-vibes with Finding Seashells, a new self-striping colorway available in the shop. 🧦 🧶

WIP Wednesday 🧦
I’ve been splitting my knitting time between two fun projects.

First up is Bright Axis by @tellybeanknits.bsky.social, knit in my self-striping Feline colorway. 🐾

The second sneak peek is a brand-new colorway! For now I’m only showing it in black + white (gotta keep some mystery)

This shawl was the perfect travel project for our recent trip. I used self-striping 🧶 so it was fun to watch the stripes develop. Such a great project to use self-striping yarn that isn't socks 🧦

When my son saw this coming soon colorway 🧶, he claimed it for his own socks 🧦. So of course I cast it in immediately. Love how it's knitting up!
