About Yarntuary (Yarn+ Sanctuary)

Yarntuary was created as a place to find sanctuary through yarn and music. Here you'll find luxurious hanks of hand dyed yarn in colorways named after songs and records and inspired by music, food (especially sweets), nature, t.v. and film.

Each hank is dyed by hand! I spend lots of time designing each colorway, normally over months or years. Some of the one of a kind variants resulting from the design process can be found in the OOAK Variants collection! 

To get each color used, professional acid dyes are mixed together with water before being applied to the yarn by hand. After the color has been treated to set, the yarn is rinsed thoroughly and hung to dry. It’s quite a process!

In addition to yarn, you’ll also find crochet patterns and kits with musical names. Each crochet pattern has pictures throughout and most have a a bonus section as well with step-by-step photos and instructions for all stitches used. Want to try one out for FREE? Head to the Free Crochet Patterns collection (no purchase necessary and you won’t receive any extra emails). 

What else is here? Yarn-themed accessories for lovers of yarn, all of which display original Yarntuary artwork (such as project bags, pouches, mugs, stickers, and a tape measure). 

 Yarntuary is a one-woman operation. I am an analyst by day and an indie dyer and crochet designer any time I am off the clock (but of course I daydream of yarn all the time)! My passion is all things yarn-related and I am constantly buzzing around trying to corral towers of ideas for new colorways, designs and drawings on sticky notes in any free moments I have. 

I hope you enjoy the shop and find something you love to bring some peace and color to your own yarntuary!
