Brave Hue World

I knew, going into this, that I would probably enjoy dyeing yarn.

But even I didn't think I'd enjoy it this damn much.

It's all I want to do every day when I wake up.

My brain is constantly dreaming up new color ideas, wanting to experiment to see if I can make what I see in my head.

I've dyed 32 skeins now.

I'm out of my first order of bare yarn.

I've resorted to rooting around my stash for anything that I can dye.

And I can't wait to share all of it with you.


These are 32 of the 33, most of which will be for sale.

The last one I wound up to start on a shawl... because I obviously need shop samples, right?

But don't worry. I took a LOT of gratuitous glamour shots first.



AHHHH! I LOVE THIS COLOR SO MUCH!



This is the blue faced leicester lace weight base I'll be carrying.

I'll also have a sturdy 75/25 superwash merino/nylon blend and a super luxurious merino/cashmere/nylon blend (both fingering weight).

I want to start with just a few bases so I don't get overwhelmed straight out the gate.

And I'm still working on developing a color catalog.

But things are still looking like I'll be able to open by June... which is equal parts exhilarating and terrifying.

I really, REALLY hope you all love these yarns as much as I do. Because I'm having so much fun making them.

For now, though, I guess I better get back to work.

  1. Oh! I'm thinking Ruby and gold brioche. Or aquamarine and ivy. So very lovely and wonderful depth of color.
