Why Natural Fiber Yarn?
We support socially and environmentally responsible companies, indie yarn dyers, and individuals, prioritizing fair wages, education opportunities, and traditional fiber heritage. Brands like Malabrigo Yarn, Manos del Uruguay, Amano Yarns, and Rosa Pomar uphold these values.
Making something with your hands takes time, and using tools that make each stitch comfortable, colorful, and enjoyable is just as important as the yarn you choose.
We offer top-quality tools for knitting or crocheting, ensuring every stitch is a delight. Discover favorites like Lykke, Cocoknits, Chiaogoo, and Katrinkles.

Favorite Yarn
"My favorite yarn right now is Amano Eco Puna. I'm making my Laulu Shawl by Sari Nordlund with it and it's SO SOFT. It has a great halo, while also giving my cables good definition! It's going to be so soft and cozy against the skin. "

Favorite tool
"For knitters, probably the Flight of Stitch Markers by Cocoknits.You get to try all of the marker styles! For crocheters, the split ring markers specifically because they can be easily moved while crocheting but stay securely on the project. "

Favorite Yarn
"I instantly loved Amano Warmi Journeys the moment it arrived! The variegation of colors reminds me of an old, well-loved quilt. The hand of the yarn is soft and substantial. Amano's high quality blend of baby alpaca and merino wool is an excellent balance of the spring of wool and the drape of alpaca."
Favorite Book
"Pom Pom has done it again! Mini Pom from Pom Pom Publishing is full of the most lovely baby knits! Baby knits are some of my favorite things I have ever made since I started knitting and these patterns are just so cute and functional! I want to make them all."
