Have you tried a pack of Wild Hair Studio Smidgens? What are Smidgens you ask? Smidgens are fun, versatile mini batts perfect for spinning, felting or other fiber arts. In celebration of being featured in the December Ply Magazine Blog, I am running a sale on Mystery Smidgens.
Mystery Smidgens contain wool from my farm, other luxury fibers and have the option to add sparkle (Angelina).

Although the coronavirus kept us homebound for another year, that didn’t stop us from releasing four new products – two yarns and two rovings – in 2021! The products debuted at Indie Untangled virtual shows. I’m hoping it won’t be too much longer until I can introduce them to people in person! Like all our yarn and roving, our 2021 releases are made from blends of undyed, naturally-colored fiber and were processed by small, independent mills in the United States.
Here’s a bit about each one!
Karst – A whisper gray, sportweight yarn. Made from a blend of Cheviot sheep wool and a touch of alpaca.
Cottontail – A soft, shiny white roving. Made from a blend of Shetland sheep wool and mohair locks, this roving has a great halo when spun up into yarn.
Terra Preta – A rich brown, worsted-weight yarn. A tri-blend of Shetland sheep wool, Jacob sheep wool and alpaca fleece.
Cirrus – A pencil roving that can be spun into yarn or knit as is. Its stormy gray shade comes from a blend of Shetland sheep and Jacob sheep wool.
That’s a wrap from us for 2021! We hope to be back with more wooly wonders come 2022!
Serenity is a 4-ply fingering-weight yarn made of 100% Cashmere. We dare you to find a softer yarn! We wish you could reach through the screen to feel how amazing soft and luxurious this yarn feels. It’s seriously the most decadent yarn we’ve ever created. Serenity takes color beautifully and has a subtle sheen, while also providing excellent stitch definition. It is great for lightweight sweaters, shawls, cowls, scarves, fingerless gloves, wristers, hats, and basically anything worn against the skin. Grab a few skeins from our online store today!
After the success of the 2021 Salvador Dali Yarn Club, I am excited to announce the 2022 Andy Warhol Yarn Club! Andy Warhol is such a character of an artist, with his bright colors and interesting pop-culture subjects. I can't wait to create yarns with these colors and I can guarantee that every package will be a unique experience.
Each month of 2022 I will be creating a yarn colorway inspired by one of his works, starting with his earliest and ending with his last. Each month's colorway will come with a fun fact card that is all about the work in question and/or his life at that time.
$40 gets you a skein of yarn, the fun fact card, a monthly stitch marker and 1-2 other items that are Warhol related. Some items may be knitting/crochet tools, others may just be fun Warhol items. Subscribers will also receive a discount on other items from my shop including the option to order more of each monthly color at a discount.
Subscription members will get their choice of yarn base each month and an email will be sent to ask what you’d prefer. If you do not reply, the default base is my “light” base – 100% SW Merino, fingering, 400yds. Right now, other options are DK (100% SW merino) and sock (merino/nylon blend)
Not sure if you want to subscribe? I will have a limited amount of skeins listed at the end of each month for you to purchase. These WILL NOT come with the added goodies (but will come with the fact card).
All packages will ship the last week of the month, to ensure that I have plenty of time to account for all subscriptions, dye yarn, and find goodies.
Curious about what works I'll be using? The second image in this post shows all the images I have picked (Subject to change), in order from top left.

Meet Squishy, our most popular sock yarn. It’s spun from a blend of Superwash Merino, Cashmere and nylon – the same blend that we use for Cloud, Cricket, and For Better or Worsted. While we refer to it as a fingering-weight yarn, it’s definitely on the heavier side of the fingering spectrum.
As a knitter, when I want to feed my stash, I pick up fingering-weight yarn. It’s so versatile – I don’t worry about being able to find the right pattern because there are so many available that use just one skein. With one skein, I can make a pair of socks, a shawlette, or gloves and a hat. With a couple of skeins I can make a big shawl. And with three to four skeins I can make a sweater or a baby blanket.
If the longer knit time has caused you to shy away from knitting garments in a fingering weight, consider the lighter weight of the resulting fabric. A Squishy sweater may suit your winter layering better than a thicker sweater. It’s not comfortable to feel like that kid from A Christmas Story who can’t put his arms down!
Squishy takes our dyes true, so you can expect rich, expressive colorways from a skein of this yarn. And with over 100 colorways, you are bound to find the perfect combination for your project! Or keep it simple with just one.
You can find Squishy at your local LYS, or online. Your favorite shop doesn’t carry Squishy? They can place a special order for anything we create, for one skein or a hundred.
This sweet little bandana is a small, quick knit that’s fun and interesting to make and very versatile to wear: it can be worn around your neck as a soft cowl, or as a skinny foulard, or it can be used over your head as a headband, as a head foulard or even a fun turban.
And it’s perfect as a last minute gift!
There’s a 15% discount until Sunday, December 19 using the code nocturne.
In Nordic countries, the yule goat, or Julbocken, is a winter holiday tradition.
The yule goat hearkens back to pagan times when it was connected to winter harvest rituals. Today, you mainly see it depicted in straw sculptures and ornaments that spread holiday cheer.
To my eye, many illustrations of the yule goat resemble Angora goats, which we all know and love as prolific producers of mohair.
In honor of our favorite holiday goat, we’re offering 10% all mohair products! Just add your favorite mohair products to the cart and enter “MERRYMOHAIR” at checkout. (Offer expires Dec. 25).
Our mohair products include our roving Cottontail, a mohair and Shetland wool blend that’s soft and shiny with a great drape, as well as four unique yarns: Muskeg (amber mohair and brown Rambouillet Merino wool), Arkose (white mohair, white Rambouillet Merino, red alpaca), Gabbro (black mohair and Jacob sheep wool), and Alabaster (red mohair and California Red sheep wool)
Arkose and Alabaster are among our collection of what I call “blushing white” yarns, blending just a touch of red with otherwise white fiber. We have two other white yarns, Bone (100% Navajo-Churro) and Kaolin (Tunis and Lincoln Longwool). If you’re looking for any projects that reflect the White Christmas color palette, we have options! Check them all out and get inspired.
I hope you have a great holiday with lots of quality time with a favorite fiber craft.
Play along as we release our 2022 monthly colorways inspired by album covers of our youth – The 70’s. Each month prior to the monthly colorway release, there will be a contest to guess the album. We will release clues every Monday on instagram and Facebook. Each follower gets one guess a week. First follower to guess correctly, wins a skein of that month’s colorway.
First clue was released on Dec 6th. Next clue is Monday, Dec 13th.
A new year on the horizon means it’s time for us to launch a new monthly yarn club! We are very excited to share that from January through June 2022 we will be releasing monthly skeins inspired by the television series Yellowstone! The scenery of majestic Montana and the rustic aesthetic of the Dutton ranch will be the inspiration for this set of six mostly tonal colourways. Preorders go live December 15th, with several base options to choose from including fingering, DK, and worsted. Add-ons? We’ve got them! Subscribers can also opt in to have a mini skein and/or stitch marker included with their monthly skein.
In the meantime, our shop is currently full of hand-dyed yarns and notions, including a few Advents, mystery boxes, and mini skein sets, if you’re in the mood for some last-minute holiday shopping!
