Cool Fox on the porch.
A pause in the Alpenglow
Jack Frost at its nose

A friend captured and shared this sweet photo of a fox in the winter landscape of Northern Ontario. I was immediately inspired by the play of the snow, the multiple browns and oranges, and the soft blues. Alpenglow and Jack Frost are dyed on a fingering base in non-SW Merino/Cashmere/nylon. The muted, matte tones give a fluffy look to the yarn, reminiscent of the snow and the furry critter that inspired them. Alpenglow is a popping version of the same colours dyed on SW Merino combed top.

I’d love for you to join me for a year of intentional making with the Wander & Make Ritual Box.

The iconic male cardinal in a snowy winter is the inspiration for this illustrative set of yarns.

Cardinal is a deep red speckled tonal. Birch is colour corrected to a white background, speckled, and resist dyed to produce those unmistakable black “lenticels.” And Snow Blue Sky is an unrealistic childlike blue sky with white snow spots. The spots are random but regular and produce reverse speckling throughout the entire skein.

These are dyed to order on Superwash Superfine Fingering Merino.

Winter in the north holds so many memories of making the best of the short daylight hours, by sledding and skating into the dark, and warming up with hot cocoa or maybe a more adult drink by the fire.

Crisp, juicy pear, blue stinky cheese, and spiced mulled red wine fill this delicious palette of DK-weight yarns, rolags, and combed top. Yarn is available in individual skeins and sets in three bases, Superwash superfine Merino, non-Superwash Merino/Rambouillet, and Superwash BFL.

My name is Stacey Rivera; owner, indie dyer, spinner and weaver behind RiverRat Yarn!

I have always loved painting with watercolor, acrylic, oil, any medium I could get my hands on!  Married to my high school sweetheart and best friend, an infantry Marine for over 30 years, I’ve had many careers over the years of changes in duty stations, but my true passion has always been my family and my art.

My great grandmother taught me to knit when I was very young. Creating with color, molding fiber into fabric became a great passion of mine. It was only natural and fluid to combine all of my passions together. So when my husband was getting ready to retire after 30 years, I took his call sign “RiverRat” and turned it into our next chapter: RiverRatArts & RiverRatYarn.

Moving to rural PA, we bought our very first home. The vibrant colors of the seasons of beautiful Pennsylvania never leave me lacking inspiration.

I hope the passion and love I have for what I do is infused into my work and enables everyone to find something they love. You can always find my work on my website RiverRatYarn.com or on Instagram @RiverRatArts

We are really excited about our new colorways and hope you are too! Visit our website to see them and all the other new and exciting things we have in store!

And I’m so here for it! Looking for some fall colours to cast on, I landed on the oranges in our Blue Cypress collection. These were some of my first colours and not very sophisticated. I felt they could use a reboot. The updated versions of Fall Y’all and Ferruginous are subtler and more nuanced in tone. Hopefully you like them too. I cast them on immediately in this Pavuk Vest pattern by Teti Lutsak.
