Sometimes, the most radical thing an image can do is show someone belonging. 🧶

This skein, 'Diego's Golden Evergreen' is a reminder that Black political presence, intellect, & diplomacy have long been woven into global history, even when later narratives tried to blur them out. 🧶

Something sumptuous as a TL cleanse for you. This is a sneak peek of September's Yarn club colorway. A first for members, it'll be a gradient cake in Autumnal colors. Inspired by an image of a Black Magi in a 16thc Italian painting. More soon. Enjoy the pretty pic! 🧶

I forgot that I signed up for The Sheepy Shire’s limited edition yarn of the month club. Oops. When this arrived today Jake rolled his eyes so hard I’m surprised they still function. This year’s theme is A Walk in the Woods. This is Spore of the Moment based on mushrooms. 🍄 #IndieYarnDyers #Yarn 🧶

April's yarn club colorway Vermilion Voyager was such a massive hit that some creative Yarnians even requested it in different forms.

Gradients and yarn cakes? Why not?!

Premium Silk Sock and Alpaca/Silk? Yes of course!

Gorgeous projects? Hell yess. 🧶

A sneak peek at The Book of Kells Collection that is launching the Irish Collection August 1st. 🧶

#yarnsky #indieyarndyers #yarnaddict #yarnlovers
A collection of hand-dyed yarn skeins arranged in a row on a dark teal cushioned surface. The yarns range in color from deep ocean blue, forest green, burgundy, and turquoise to vibrant oranges, reds, and bright greens. Each skein has a unique colorway, many of them variegated or gradient, with speckles and criss-cross color patterns. Below each skein is a printed image from the Book of Kells manuscript that inspired it, including depictions of angels, warriors, animals, and intricate illuminated designs.

Received my last 2 full size skeins from Lichen and Lace today. There were 3 colors I didn’t use for the 2026 shawl and I accidentally ordered 2 minis of one of them. Turns out they’ll make perfect partners for the full skeins. Color info in alt. #IndieYarnDyers #HandDyed #Yarn 🧶

I have no will power when the shop app gives me promotional cash with expiration dates…

But, hey, I now have another gorgeous skein of sock yarn from another indie dyer.

This is the Glass Gem Corn colorway from Mountaintop Yarn. #IndieYarnDyers #HandDyed #Yarn #Knitting 🧶

Here’s the Lichen and Lace yarn. I’ve since ordered over a dozen mini skeins from this Canadian dyer to start putting together the colors for next year’s Temperature Shawl. This is a lovely 3-ply with a fairly high twist so it should produce some beautiful results. #IndieYarnDyers #HandDyed #Yarn 🧶
2 skeins of hand dyed sock yarn from Lichen and Lace and a leaf progress keeper stitch marker. The colorways are Sweet Potato on the left and Day Lily on the right. Close up of Sweet Potato. It’s shades of purpley orange and lavender. It’s rather indescribable. Close up of Day Lily. It’s exactly the colors of peach and orange that the name suggests. I separated an end to examine the ply and twist.

Why is Trump putting tariffs on islands solely inhabited by penguins?

Just a note that *for now* Yarnia seems unaffected from tariffs bc of a "de Minimis" trade exemption. 🧶
