Good morning, and happy Labor Day weekend! One of things about being a knitter, crocheter, or weaver is that we have to plan ahead. For me, Labor Day is the annual reminder I need to start thinking about what I want to make for family members for Christmas. It’s also a great opportunity to decide… Read More Why, yes, I am having a Labor Day sale!
This week I created a new colorway, and I hope you like it as much as I do. Imagine sitting in front of a campfire on a cool night at the end of a day on the lake. You’re tired but in a good way, and you and your companions are happy to just gaze… Read More A New Colorway
If you ask me, DK-weight yarn is the perfect happy medium. Don’t get me wrong. I enjoy making lightweight shawls and garments from sock-weight yarn too, but here’s what I love about DK-weight yarn: Right now I have lots of lovely colorways in stock on both my DK-weight yarn bases. Here’s a bit about the… Read More In Praise of DK-Weight Yarn

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

Let’s start with Amy. She and her mom took a trip to Giverny, France, this summer–the home of… Read More Show and Tell
Sometimes I think my creative life reads a little like If You Give a Mouse a Cookie. One thing leads to another. Last week I introduced the new Splashed and Speckled Jane Austen colorways. I realized I should make another semi-solid to go with them, so I made Renaissance Blue. That one isn’t new, but… Read More Two New Colorways
If you were headed to a deserted island and could only bring one author’s complete works, whose would you bring? I think I would choose Tolkien, but if I got two choices, Jane Austen would probably be next. She’d keep up my spirits on that deserted island, especially after I ran out of yarn. Or… Read More Jane Austen Returns
The Mother’s Day sale was over and all the orders were on their way. I was caught up on all the dyed-to-order orders, and I had finished shipping all the club colorways. That meant I had a day to dye anything I wanted! I decided to dye a colorway I only manage to dye once… Read More Once in a Blue Moon Colorways
It’s May! Hurray! This time of year I find myself looking toward the end of the school year and the slower days of summer. That means a little more time for the fiber arts, maybe a few weekends away, and time to knit or spin while the kids swim. It also means it’s a great… Read More Light as a Feather
