Fall is fast approaching and I am yearning for the crunch of crisp, colorful leaves beneath my feet and cool wind rustling through the trees. When I was a child my brothers and I would gather around a bonfire and roast marshmallows. As the night encroached and the moon glowed brighter, we would listen excitedly to each other as we took turns telling our favorite ghost stories.

These memories motivated me to create my latest color palette, each inspired by ghostly apparitions, tall tales and whispers in the dark!

My Scrying into the Looking Glass 2021 Halloween Advent preorder features 30 20g mini skeins and one full 100g skein in a Merino/nylon blend. As always, special goodies are included. Boxes are scheduled to ship on August 31st.

Also available is my Monthly Speckled Sock Club, fall hat kits and much more!

Hello my crafty friends!

This month’s collection is inspired by the legends and lore of the Sirens or Mermaids. They appear in a plethora of cultures worldwide — legends often tell of mermaids singing to sailors, enchanting them, and luring them to their death.

I had fun experimenting with color on different bases and chose a handful that I really loved. And so the Gothic Mermaid Collection was born! It is available on the majority of my yarn bases including my new non-Superwash fingering weight yarn. My collections usually sell out fast so be sure to stop by my online shop to snag yourself something lovely before they are all gone.

Congrats to Anna Kollár in Hungary! She won this month’s yarn giveaway — a delicious skein of my Poseidon Super Bulky Pencil Roving in the colorway “Rosewood.” I kettle dye these in small batches. Many have sold out but I am getting another shipment in this week so I am dusting off my stock pots for the next batch!
