My name is Ashley and I create each item here with lots of love & care and have so much fun doing it! Most items are one-of-a-kind (OOAK), and a few of my most popular items are created in multiples. I love digging through yarn shops, craft stores, thrift stores, visiting studios, and friends and families stashes for little bits of fibery inspiration! I am so keen to experiment with new fibers, colors and patterns, and hope you love what I create.

My current love is dyeing and spinning... most of my hand-dyed items are OOAK and are the result of a lot of fun & experimentation kettle dyeing in my studio! All the dyeing for my handspun yarns & fiber is done with a non-toxic, earth-friendly method that is both safe and permanent. If you have a favorite color palette that you would love to see in a yarn, please contact me!

- My goal is to use as much eco-friendly, local, and repurposed or recycled materials in the production of my items as possible. I also do cater to those people who are vegan or who have wool allergies with my 100% quality acrylic items.
