Happy Thursday friends! I've listed some wonderful new yarns this morning, a little collection of yarn I dyed over the last week which include these lovely skeins of Raven Wing on superwash merino in DK weight. I don't dye Raven Wing super often because it's a challenging colour story to paint that requires heating between each step and gobbles up tons and tons of black dye. A lovely friend custom requested a Raven Wing on DK recently, and since I dye colour stories one pound at a time, there are 3 skeins left over for the website! Raven Wing was inspired by the magestic birds who sing their haunting throaty songs in our west coast forests and natural spaces, and when we're lucky, even our neighbourhoods. Pools of dark black swimming with ribbons of blackened bottle green, royal purple and cobalt blue speak to the slight oil slick hue of magical bluey green and purple reminiscent of the glorious plumage of these magnificent black feathered birds. Click my link in bio to browse the skeins! #yarnaddict #handdyedyarn #handpaintedyarn #canadianyarn #subcultureyarn

Yesterday I cast on a simple cable cowl design I've been working on in Unicorn Farts on double knit superwash merino and had a bit of a moment. This colour story is such a joy to knit, and represents the "why" on my dyeing journey. I started dyeing because in my mind there was a picture of a yarn that I wanted to knit with. The vision was very colourful, distinct and layered colours changing so frequently each stitch gets a taste of at least two colours. I wanted yarn like tie dyed hippie shirts, like watercolour painted wildflowers, constantly changing colours coming together to make a chaotic yet cohesive fabric comprised of bright, distinct pops all working together. The problem was such a thing didn't really seem to exist, some hand dyed brands were close, some indie dyed yarns were close, but nothing flowed like my vision and I wasn't generally satisfied with my options. My usual approach to finding something that doesn't seem to exist is to try and make it happen myself, so I did. Unicorn Farts is probably my closest colour story to the original vision, and working with it reminds me of how far I have come, both in this craft and in "the business." It's wild that 4,000 of you are interested in my work, that hundreds of you welcomed my colour stories into your yarn collections in 2021, and I am thrilled and excited to see where our creative journeys take us this year. Today I will let this joyful magenta rainbow colour story speak my gratitude for your presence, energy and support.
