Our first reveal: “Lucilla and the Snarly Skein” a children’s book by Amy Grimes that you should definitely grab up with this set and read for yourself!.
Holly has captured the illustrations of this book perfectly in her mind set, and the coordinated full skein, “Lucilla”, brings them all together.
Join Lucilla as she struggles to unwind the snarliest skein she has ever seen!
You can purchase the book and/or the minis sets from our Etsy shop HERE!
Our second reveal: “Jane Eyre” a classic by Charlotte Brontë that we highly recommend for you to read at least once (if not 5 times) in your life!
Ivy was doubly inspired by this book, and could not choose one inspiration over the other, so lucky for you, this means there are two beautiful sets to choose from:
“Jane Eyre - People” and “Jane Eyre - Home.”

Ivy was doubly inspired by this book, and could not choose one inspiration over the other, so lucky for you, this means there are two beautiful sets to choose from:
“Jane Eyre - People” and “Jane Eyre - Home.”
”Jane Eyre - People” creates a picture of some of the most influential characters in the book. Each mini represents a person who had a part in framing who Jane becomes, so it is fitting that the coordinating full skein, “Jane”, is made up of all the colors combined.
”Jane Eyre - Home” takes a more emotional route, depicting the overall mood of the story as Jane moves from place to place. They take us from dark, cold night into a warm dawning light. The coordinating full skein, “Wherever You Are Is My Home”, is a picture of a hopeful new spring sunrise, over a life lived in winter.
We hope your love for these books is heightened by the experience of working with our yarns while you read them over and over again! ❤️

Memorial Day marks the beginning of summer for many, and with the beginning of summer comes our newest Summer Reading Minis!!
Every year we each choose one beloved book to inspire a set of five mini skeins, and one coordinating full skein. (The mini skeins total approximately 92/20 yards/grams each, for those who LOVE minis.) Last year, we featured “Treasure Island” and “Emma,” and the year before that was “Alice in Wonderland” and “Anne of Green Gables.”
This year, Ivy has chosen “Jane Eyre” (her favorite book for so many reasons - so no pressure of course), and Holly has chosen a newer children’s book called “Lucilla and the Snarly Skein” that she has fallen in love with.
These special sets are by far our favorites to put together as we cultivate each colorway to coordinate with all the rest. We can’t wait to share the pretties we have planned, but for now, this teaser will just have to do!
Now go grab one of these books and get ready to be inspired!

Join Lucilla as she struggles to unravel the snarliest skein she has ever seen!
You can purchase the book alone on our Etsy shop HERE, or purchase the minis sets by clicking on the pictures.

- New spring colorways will be released on February 1st
- Our first vending events of the year will be at the Smoky Mountain Fiber Arts Festival on April 21st-23rd, and in Nashville at a brand new fiber event called Stitch University in May!

We had so much fun at the Smoky Mountain Fibre Arts Festival this weekend! We made some new friends, met some fans, and all around enjoyed being a part of another event that celebrates all things fibre!
Here is our booth this time around:

Here is our booth this time around:
Those two colorways in the bottom right corner of the first picture were inspired by photos of the smokies. We each chose a photo that inspired us the most and ran with them, creating two special limited colorways just for SMFAF2016! Want to see the photos? Okay! Holly chose the one on the left with the beautiful blue haze of the mountains, while Ivy was immediately drawn to the fabulous orangey-pink sky of the sunset. What do you think? Did we pull it off?
If you were one of the great people who stopped by our booth at SMFAF2016, let us know! We'd love to keep in touch and see all those fabulous projects you are now working on with our yarn!
