From hand-dyeing yarn to creating finished projects, everything we do has special meaning and comes from the heart. And what’s in our heart is a deep love of all things handcrafted and nerdy!

Our signature themed hand dyed yarns come in a wide variety of weights, fibres and blends. And we’ve also got fun Nerdy notions, bare yarns, and dyes for plant and animal based fibres too. Basically, we’ve got everything you need to make your wildest fibre creation dreams come true.
