Emma’s Yarn was started by Emma, a (then) 15 year-old homeschooled student who fell in love with dyeing yarn when learning ratios in her math lesson. Her eye for color is amazing! It wasn’t long before she started selling small batches in her parents’ yarn shop, and when that proved to be successful, moved production from her kitchen to a dye studio downtown. Her sister, Aspen, joined her after graduating college and together they built Emma’s Yarn into what it is today; a wholesale company providing local yarn shops with high quality, hand-dyed yarn in sunny Florida. These mini-skeinsMini skeins are a beautiful 2-ply merino and nylon blend that has just the right stretch and is soft against the skin. It’s the perfect thing to add pops of color to shawls, socks, sweaters and garments.
Eva is the dyer behind Seismic Yarn & Dyeworks, based just outside of San Francisco. A San Francisco native, Eva is inspired by her hometown, her life, her children, and the silly stories that punctuate their days. She shares stories in her colorway descriptions and on Instagram. Eva began her dye journey as the perfect storm of a person who likes nice things, is on a budget, and is a lifelong DIYer. She started off “just playing” but with some encouragement from friends and family, her “play” became more serious. Combining her love of science and lab equipment with her growing dye knowledge, Eva discovered a love of creating color for people who, like her, are afraid of wearing color. With the help of her children (affectionately known as the Dye Interns), she explored the world of neon and black light/UV reactive colors and they haven’t looked back. Despite this fun with neons, Eva’s heart lies in the moodier, broodier section of the color wheel and she refuses to give up her rich semi-solid, tonal, and low contrast variegated colorways.
Snuggle up with downy drifts of cotton! Snuggle Puff is a heavy worsted or Aran weight cotton yarn made possible by new innovations in yarn construction, allowing fiber from the cotton plant to be blown into a nylon mesh. Without the rigid structure of spinning and plying, the resulting yarn is amazingly lightweight and lofty, keeping more of pima cotton’s superlative drape and huggable softness than traditional yarn construction. With the added benefit of natural machine washable convenience, Snuggle Puff is perfect for wool-free accessories and more for babies, children, anyone with extra sensitive skin, and cotton fans of all kinds.
Amble is a fingering-weight yarn made from a blend of eco-friendly washable wool and alpaca for comfort as well as recycled nylon for strength. Although designed especially for sock knitting, this is a soft and durable yarn also great for easy-to-care-for sweaters and accessories.
