There’s been some new stuff popping up over at Skeinny Dipping — spinning fiber! But in case you don’t spin, there’s lots of yarn in the shop, too. And if you’ve been wanting a certain sweater quantity or a certain colorway on a specific base, you’ll be thrilled to know there’s a Spring Pre-Order event going on now through Monday, June 9th. Info is over at the Skeinny Dippers group on Ravelry (won’t you join us?).
It happened. Slipped Stitch Studios has found a time machine, and we used it to get the perfect 1980s Unicorn fabric. The time machine blew up as soon as we stepped off it , but man, are we glad we found this fabric!!!! Now you can too- no time machine needed!!! Check it here.
My name is Lexi Parisse and I’m a fiber artist and beekeeper. It all began at the Fashion Institute of Technology, where I received a BFA specializing in knitwear. After college I went to work in the NYC fashion industry as an assistant designer, then a design and sales consultant for the largest knitting machine manufacturer in the world, Shima Seiki. While working at Shima, I took a drop spindle class and I was hooked. Now, not only could I create a garment using yarn but I could also create the yarn too! I needed to dive deeper into my new obsession so I decided to leave my job within the fashion industry, move to Long Island and work on a fiber farm. It’s one thing to work with amazing fiber but it’s another thing to work with the animals that provide it to you. Now I am starting a new adventure in my life. I want to not only create and sell beautiful fiber and bee-related products but I want to educate people on bees and the fiber arts as well.
Check out our store for a selection of drop spindle kits, hand spun yarn, bath and beauty products, hand-dyed fiber and more! Enjoy!!
Summer has landed at Cuddlebums HQ with a blast of colour as we introduce some new bright colourways and a couple of new sparkly bases.
You will find lots of aqua, yellow and pink in our new coloursways, perfect for holiday projects, as well as new bases of gold and bronze sparkle, which are guaranteed me make your projects sparkle in the sun.

A new colorway will be added to the shop on Monday, June 2! Glory is a lovely variegated blend of red, white and blue and will be available on the Master of My Feet base. You can’t beat the lovely twist on this fingering-weight yarn, and with an amazing blend of 80% superwash Merino and 20% nylon, it can be used for oh, so many projects!
paper and yarn began with a frustrated new knitter in need of some ‘encouragement’ and has evolved into a dye-works and local yarn shop (The Thankful Ewe). We specialize in grumpy stitch markers but also create simple dangle-frees and light weight retro-inspired collections.
Our ‘Hues’ line of hand dyed sock yarn was introduced a few years ago to provide mono-chrome colors that are great for lace knitting. We ship internationally too!
Welcome to Artisan Yarns! I think what sets us apart from many indie dyers is that we are not only dyers and fiber artists, but we also raise and breed alpacas. We know alpaca inside and out! We are a two-person operation and have been dying alpaca and alpaca blend yarns since 2000. As of the recent year, we’ve been growing quickly. This last year alone, we are featured in two of the latest books by Margaret Hubert (the first one os coming out June 1st), featured in Holla Knits, and last month we were a proud supplier of yarn to subscribers of the very popular yarn subscription club, Yarn Box.
Our yarns range from a worsted/chunky weight called “Alpaca Magic” to DK weights. “Creé-Ah’s Breath” is 100% baby alpaca, and “Alpaca Silk” is a 70% alpaca/30% silk blend. This July, we will debut our new “Alpaca Silk Lace” at the TKGA Conference. All our yarns come in Hand-Painted, Tonal, and Solid collections.
We hope you will join our Facebook fan page for updates on new yarns, colors, shows, announcements, etc., and join our Ravelry group.
We hope you love what you see (and feel). We believe in creating colorful luxury one small batch at a time. We’d be honored if you chose our yarn to make your next masterpiece!
I’ve just opened sign-ups for another year of Yarn Knot, my quarterly yarn subscription service. Each shipment includes a skein of hand-dyed, fingering-weight yarn along with a suggested pattern. Yarn Knot allows me to experiment with different fiber blends that aren’t part of my current lineup, and it’s a fun way for subscribers to try something new. All colorways are exclusive for one year. Payment options include either one-time or quarterly installments.
Above photos feature colorways and projects from past Yarn Knot installments.
Already we’re onto the fifth month and the fifth Caesar. This month sees a plethora of colourways on both yarns and fibre, inspired by Claudius. The Countess also has a new yarn base — Hebridean yarn, naturally black wool overdyed to create dark and moody colourways. Four colours currently available. Fingering weight. The update goes live on Friday 30th May at 7 p.m. UK time and there is a preview on the shop blog now.
At Cuddlebums we have been experimenting with some new fabulously bright colour ways, including the stunning Dancing Fish. As well as working on a new range of gradient sock blanks and coming soon some shawl boxes.
And if thats not enough we have also launched our Birthday Cuddlebox range as a permanent product, perfect for those last minute gifts or when someone needs a pick me up. With the option of a knitting or crochet box I know these will make fantastic presents for the yarn lovers in your life (or yourself).
We will also be running a discount on our rainbows boxes throughout June so keep watching for that.
