We feature mostly hand-dyed, hand-painted or hand-spun yarns from women- or family-owned businesses. There’s nothing like talking directly to the provider who takes a hands-on approach from the fiber source all the way to the final skein of yarn! Or with hand-dyers who talk with you from their backyards where they are hanging skeins to dry!
Some of our vendors also help other women earn a living either here or in other countries – companies like BeSweet and Appalachian Baby Designs. That kind of social responsibility makes us proud to sell their products.
