Happy Friday friends! It's mystery colour story time! This not-new colour story has a name, can you guess it? This mystery swatch was knit from a colour story that is a vibrant rainbow reflected and nestled in concrete and asphalt grey undertones. The effect is a subtle, dark and broody, flowing colour transition between layers of jewel tones colours mingling with tones and shades of black and grey. If you have no idea, let us know in the comments what name YOU would have given it and why, we'd love to know! #subcultureyarn #handdyedyarn #handpaintedyarn #nevernotknitting #canadianyarn

Happy Saturday friends! We're hoping to enjoy some peaceful moments of stitching in lovely rays of sunshine this fine spring day. Speaking of lovely, this one of a kind handspun skein of self-striping yarn is a jewel toned dream of teal, emerald, purple and magenta we listed recently. Named "Mermaid Vibes" for the magical deep sea blues and greens, the colours of this sport/fingering weight superwash merino yarn are arranged in a way that combines repeating colours of both plies of the yarn to create a stripey effect. Hand spun yarns are a labour of love, hours of work dyeing the fibre, preparing the fluff for spinning, spinning the single plies, spinning the plies together, winding the yarn by hand, rinsing and setting the twist. Because of the forever taking process of making these yarns, they will be available sparingly and will always be one of a kind. This skein has a slight thick and thin quality, flowing between a sport and fingering weight, a delightful, organic representation of the imperfection of its human origin.

Happy Wednesday friends! Meet Fairy Wing, a colour story that was inspired by the iridescent perfection of aurora borealis coated quartz crystals that glitter and shine with wild, rainbowy sparkle and the magic of moonlit fairy wings. This colour story is a lovely ethereal blend of warm pastel rainbow colours on a base of superwash white merino. This colour story is a sister colour story to Moon Phase and pairs beautifully with so many different colours! Fairy Wing is non-pooling, the low contrast allows the stitch definition to shine, letting your cables and lace stitches be the star of the show. Fairy Wing is currently available in fingering weight superwash merino with nylon, click our link in bio to browse the skeins! #subcultureyarn #handdyedyarn #handpaintedyarn #canadianyarn

Happy Saturday friends! Spring is here and the flowers are popping, speaking of which, have you seen Fuchsia Bloom Blues? This new colour story is a vapourwave dream of pools of fevered magenta, hot grape, purple and deep royal blueish purple dancing with each other over a sea of cool bubblegum pink. The colours are layered like a watercolour painting, in short and random colour repeats that are not predictable, working up with minimal pooling or flashing across most projects. Can a fucshia bloom even get the blues? Apparently! Currently listed in superwash merino nylon fingering weight, click our link in bio to browse the skeins! #subcultureyarn #handpaintedyarn #handdyedyarn #canadianyarn

This Ocean Purl Kaleidoscope Supernova Cowl is bringing the pastel egg hunt vibes this morning!

This colourway is a subtle and flowing watercolour colourway that is fairy wing and unicorn magic in super short colour repeats and layered colours for a non-pooling fabric. Ocean Purl is currently listed in 4 ply worsted weight as pictured here, and fingering weight superwash merino nylon perfect for socks and shawls, Click our link in bio to browse these and more hand painted skeins or snag a copy of the pattern on us. #subcultureyarn #handpaintedyarn #handdyedyarn #nevernotknitting

Happy Saturday friends! We hope you are doing well this first day of April, and that not too many pranks are headed your way. On this day we feature Galloping Goose, a colour story inspired by the delightful family walks we took along Victoria’s Galloping Goose trail. This colourway captures the icy cool teal of glass insulators we hunted along the trail and the ashen, earthy browns of the weathered wooden telegraph poles. Many of the old poles that ran along the rail line are still there in various broken states and glass insulators (usually broken) can often be found at the base if one looks hard enough. Galloping Goose is currently listed in fingering weight yarns, superwash merino with nylon as well as BFL (a breed of sheep with a more golden fleece with longer fibers that provide strength and resistance to pilling) with nylon.

This afternoon I grabbed a few moments for some Pitch Black stitches while waiting on a friend who I drove to a medical procedure. I'm making a simple burglar toque with a folded brim and very much enjoying the mindless rhythm of 1x1 ribbing. This colour is my darkest and most solid black, dyed in a cold, acidless bath to ensure maximal, almost-solid dye uptake. The bath gets warmed slowly over time, and as the dye particles adhere to the wool, the water clears, and then the citric acid joins the party to set the colour before it all goes for a final steam bath. Pitch Black is mostly solid with very little contrast and just a minor shift in the saturation or tone here and there. The yarn works up as a solid black with just enough transition in tone to tell the story of its hand dyed origin. Pitch Black is currently available in sport weight (pictured here) as well as fingering, click our link in bio to see the skeins! #subcultureyarn #handdyedyarn #handpaintedyarn #nevernotknitting

Meet Disco Light Show, a saturated rainbow nestled in mirror ball grey, inspired by rainbow stage lights and reflective mirrored disco balls. This colour story is a celebration of colour and wild partying energy of more youthful days. Disco Light Show feature flowing colour transitions between layers of randomly arranged vibrant colours mingling with each other and the occasional pool of cool grey in a bright yet a subtle colourway that will not generally flash or pool across most projects. Disco Light Show is currently listed on worsted weight superwash merino and can also be painted on any yarn base you like!

Happy Saturday friends! I don't know about you but I sure love a thrift hop on a lovely, pleasant Saturday. Speaking of loveliness and thrifting, meet Antiquity, a colour story reminiscent of the worn, weathered pages of well-read vintage books and the inside pockets of vinyl record sleeves. Antiquity is a neutral, pale, silvery and sandy cream-white, peppered with undertones of weathered driftwood and bone. The colour flows in delicate layers like a water colour painting, working up with minimal contrast and preserving stitch definition and stripes. Antiquity was designed to pair beautifully with virtually anything, especially earth tones and is currently listed in superwash merino 4 ply DK and worsted weight.
