While at Knit City this weekend, I discovered a fe

While at Knit City this weekend, I discovered a few skeins of yarn that had been mislabeled and found a few more while counting inventory. These were on our Tough and Tender base, and they were accidentally labeled with our bands for 6oz skeins instead of 4oz skeins. If you have purchased a skein from me that is labeled as 6oz instead of 4oz, please reach out to me. I apologize for the error and have taken steps to ensure it doesn't happen again.

Thank you!

So... I have a little announcement to make. For the last three years I have been working on a new book. I had planned to launch it at @knitcitycanada this weekend, but I had a couple of setbacks, so it's not quite finished yet. I do, however, want to show off the amazing patterns that will be included.

In order of appearance in the video, a shawl by @charlotte_milkteacup , a stunning sweater by @disturbingthefleece and a gorgeous hat and wrap by @thamo_intuitivefibreartist The last piece is a woven scarf by me.

I will have these samples with me at Knit City this weekend and will be happy to answer all the questions you might have. The book launch will be announced in my newsletter when it does live, so be sure you're signed up for that if you want to know when it comes out.

In case you need a reminder of where we stand. Hatred has no place here.

I believe in love, kindness, and acceptance. I believe in education and growth. I support teaching our children to be better humans and to have more empathy. Empathy comes from understanding and understanding comes from education.

Everyone deserves the right to love whom they love and to be true to themselves.

LGBTQ2S+ rights are human rights.

Last night, this beautiful human did me a favour and modeled some pieces for me... I am grateful for our 24 years of friendship, and while she will never see this post, she is one of my favourite people 💜

For the last three years, I've been working on a special project, and while I had hoped it would be ready to launch this weekend at Knit City... it's not quite there.... but it's so close. I will, however, be sharing some of the details of this project over the next couple of days and at Knit City this weekend... so stay tuned!

Earlier this year, I asked my newsletter subscribe

Earlier this year, I asked my newsletter subscribers for some thoughts on combo spinning kits, and after months of planning and dyeing, it is all finally coming together. It is chaos right now, but soon, this massive pile will be braided and packaged and ready for @knitcitycanada next weekend! I'm excited for you to see what I've created for you!!

OMG! I am in LOVE with our newest base. This is called Divine Lace Bright. It is exactly the same as our Divine Lace 100% Tussah Silk base but has gone through an additional process to take it from its natural honey colour to white. I will have limited colours available at @knitcitycanada in two weeks but it will be available for custom ordering!

Ever wonder what it takes to dye this colourway or ones like it it? Lots and lots of time and patience. First, the skein is layered with dye, once that exhausts, they are then tied off in multiple places to retain those colours and then it all goes back for one final overcoat of dye before it needs to be rinsed, dried, reskeined, and labeled. Here's a little peek at me tying off a skein... sped up... each one takes about 5-7 minutes... today I have 20 to do... The colourways that I do this way are definitely a labour of love. 💜

Reason #135867 that we reskein every single skein

Reason #135867 that we reskein every single skein of yarn we sell. I'm almost finished untangling this skein of lace. It got a little muddled up when I was dyeing, so when we went to reskein it, it kept catching. So I turned on the tunes and have been winding it by hand, undoing all the tangles and next I'll reskein it. This means that when you take it home, you hopefully won't have the same issues!

What's bubbling today. This gives you a tiny glimpse of all the different ways yarn goes into the dye pots at the beginning. Some are single process semi solids, so they go in unskeined, some are multi layer semi solid, so they usually start twisted but will end up unskeined at some point in the process and finally are the layered ones where they stay twisted through all the layers (they get taken out and retwisted between each dye application to change the resist) I can't wait to see this silk dyed!

It's late at night, and I'm prepping for tomorrow's dye day and couldn't help but stop and admire this silk that'll be heading into the pots tomorrow.

New for @knitcitycanada this year... I have some white 100% Tussah Silk lace being added to my line up. This will play nicely with out current 100% Honey Tussah Silk and I can't wait to see what you make with it all.

Can you believe we're only 3 weeks away from the show?

My littlest has been obsessed with watching food videos on Instagram lately, and she asked if we could try these Brown Butter Brownies by @bromabakery

They are currently cooling, but I'm excited to dig in.
