Today I thought we could talk about the different types of variegated yarn, how to identify them, and what types of stitches work best for each one. Let’s start by defining our terms. Technically, variegated yarn just means any yarn with multiple colors. This is where things get tricky though because different dye methods produce… Read More How to “Read” Variegated Yarn
This week I have all four of my current butterfly-inspired colorways in stock. While I was dyeing them up, I was reminded of my oldest sister. When she was little, she couldn’t say butterfly, so she said flutterby instead, and it just stuck. I bet your family has some fun words like that too! Here… Read More Flutterbies
It’s my goal to bring you joy with every skein of yarn all year long, but Advent calendars are something special. They provide respite in the midst of a very busy season, and this year’s Advent calendar is no exception. When I was about ten, I had a conversation with a family friend who was… Read More 2026 Advent Calendar

I dyed more of the new gradient trio of colorways on Sock Perfection: From left to right the colorways are Serenity Blue, Renaissance Blue, and Annunciation Blue. I also dyed them on Stained Glass Fingering: These three colorways are… Read More Blues for Summer

I’m not anti-tech, and I can’t say I never… Read More Touch Grass
This week I have some really lovely projects to share with you. This first project was made by Amy. She used the Lotus Pool Shawl by Dora Does: Isn’t this gorgeous? She crocheted it using my Monet’s Water Lilies colorway on Squoosh DK. She actually made two–one for her mom and one for herself–and they… Read More Show and Tell – April 2026
This week I have some lovely fresh-dyed semi-solid and tonal colorways for spring. Here’s Rose Petals: This was the semi-solid colorway I made to go with the April clubs, and I dyed a couple extras for the shop on Sock Perfection. It’s in the same color family as Rosy-Fingered Dawn, Coral, and Begonia. All four… Read More Fresh Spring Colorways
This week I published a new shawl pattern called Field of Flowers. It’s a top-down crescent shawl, and it uses two skeins of assigned-pooling yarn. I used Monet’s Water Lilies on Sock Perfection for the sample, but any fingering-weight assigned pooling colorway will work. Here’s the front: …and here’s the back: It has assigned pooling… Read More Field of Flowers Shawl Pattern
