Note: these sets are made to be contrast colors for colorwork: pair with the pattern of your choice. You'll need to stash bust or grab your MC separately.
“Matchmaker, matchmaker, make me a match…”
Our Matchmaker Sets are thoughtfully paired combinations of Spincycle Yarns Dyed in the Wool and coordinating Fuzz mini skeins (choose between Mighty Mo or Oh Dang). These sets are designed to take the guesswork out of pairing and give you that effortless-but-wow finished look.
Think of them as your perfectly curated knitting palette. Little bundles of color magic that are just as fun to knit as they are to look at. Want to learn more about the matchmaker method? Check out our Matchmaker blog!
Why We Love Them
Dyed in the Wool a Sport Weight (even leaning toward Fingering Weight), 100% SW American Wool, 200 yards per skein is spun and dyed to create long, dreamy color transitions. When you pair it with a strand of Fuzz, something really special happens. Depth, texture, and color all come alive in a way that feels totally unique to you.
There are a couple of ways to play:
Go with the flow: Knit straight from the ball of Dyed in the Wool and swap your Fuzz strand as the colors shift.
Create your own palette (our favorite): Hand-wind sections of Dyed in the Wool into mini balls and treat them like paint. Pair each section with its own coordinating Fuzz for a truly custom colorwork moment.
Instead of investing in multiple full skeins, these mini sets give you the flexibility to experiment, play, and create without the extra cost.
