The Yarn

We are inspired to create a yarn that would go with Lauren’s beautiful clothing but also invoke her creative, kind and fun spirit. We choose a beautiful shade of blueberry since it would go with both Lauren’s neutral and brighter palettes. The yarn is a 3 ply 100% 19.5 Micron Superwash Merino, making it extremly soft!! We think that one of Joji's beatiful shawl patterns would go great with this yarn.

One question we often get as an Indigenous maker is, can non Indigenous people wear Indigneous designed clothing and jewelry. The answer is a big fat YES! Supporting Indigenous makers is where it is at!


 

We love 'Good Day' with all the blues, pinks and purple shades of Dyed in the Wool! Shown here is Absolute Zero, Kolkata, Lapis, Mzuzu, Overshadow, Nicoya and Shades of Earth.
