Ishkoten Dougi studied fine arts at the Institute of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe, NM. He's shown with all the iconic Native artists from Tony Abeyta to Fritz Scholder, and some of the world's greats like Matisse and Picasso. Dougi has shown in over a dozen galleries and group shows in the U.S. Dougi is Jicarilla Apache and Navajo. From Northern Arizona and Northern New Mexico, Dougi was brought up with art as a way to put food on the table. Following his role models, Dougi has been able to achieve a rank as one of the most modern Native artists alive to date by working within his color theory using color as a "weapon." Ishkoten Dougi does art for the future of Native art and for a foothold in history for his bloodline of Jicarilla Apache and Navajo to reach beyond the future of today's understanding of the American Indian

Juicy Dk is not just any yarn; it's a canvas for creativity. Made from 100% Superwash Merino, it boasts a generous 274 yards per 100g skein—perfect for a range of projects from cozy accessories to statement garments.

What sets this month's yarn apart is using UV responsive colors and the custom colorway name, "Navajo Sex Pistols." This name hints at the fusion of tradition and modernity, encapsulating both the boldness of punk rock aesthetics and the intricate storytelling of Ishkoten Dougi's art.

With the versatility of Juicy Dk we think this yarn is great for any DK weight project. We love the ideo of a summer totebag. Wether you go with a French Market Bag by Petite Knit or this Maker Market Tote by Salena Baca, we are sure for this incredibly unique skein.

With every month in the Indigenous Collective you can order more of the colorway in the listing below. Please know the preorder will end August 1st and ship mid August.
