We live to dye yarn

. we hand dye your yarn in small batches . we re-skein your yarn to check for yarn faults and knots; sometimes before we dye and sometimes after we dye, it depends entirely on the dye style . any yarn that has a fault in it is broken down into smaller skeins or sold at events at a reduced price . we won't post anything out that we're not happy with . we aim to keep yarn waste to a minimum . we love to please you .

Come to Japan with me

Our next Handmade in Japan tour is May 6-27 2026
