I’ve got 5 kilos of yarn headed my way, which I’m going to be dyeing in all of my favorite colorways! If you’re within driving distance of Burlington, Vermont, you should stop by the Queen City Craft Bazaar on Saturday, Mat 12th, and see them in person!
If you can make it, let us know on FB!
A repository of yarn pr0n from the North Atlantic Yarn Co. and other things that we love!
Alright, so I went ahead and started a new yarn pr0n blog! I’ll probably cross post some stuff every now and again, but over there I’m going to try to keep it exclusively yarn and North Atlantic/Northern Europe themed.
This yarn started out as an experiment gone horribly awry. It was red and grey and aqua, but not in a good way, at all. But then a magical overdye of green, and it has turned into something resembling Scottish heather. Pretty happy with how it turned out!
Available in a superwash DK weight: North Atlantic Yarn Co.

Yesterdays dye pot results. I am super happy with how they came out!
Yesterday’s yarn dyeing experiment. I’m trying to capture the lovely muted tones of “Sail Close to the Wind,” a print by SadlyHarmless on Etsy.
I’m really pleased with the yarn on its own merits, but I didn’t quite get it right with regard to the print. Back to the dyepot!
Also, the yarn is for sale here.
Here’s the powder blue necklace. :) My sister was kind enough to play model for me yesterday so I could photograph these properly.
Going forward I might only use this type of yarn for these necklaces, as I think they just work better. I also love the colors this yarn comes in. More to come as I put them up into the shop.
Thoughts?
