Hi! I'm Tara and I'm the Blonde Chicken behind all this yarn! You can read more about how I got this I love to play with texture in my knitting, matching a smooth yarn with a scrappy one, or supercrazybulky yarn with a teeny tiny lace yarn.
It’s even more fun to play with it in the dyepot. Nearly every non-wool fiber I dye gets a “dyepot buddy”: cotton + banana, silk + hemp. Every fiber takes the color a little differently so the resulting yarns “match” without being identical.
I’m smitten with the depth this lends the knit or crocheted item.
My favorite combination is matte + shiny.
Here are are a few matte + shiny matching-ish yarns added to the Boutique this week.
Butternut Squash Recycled silk
What are your favorite way to combine yarns?
PS. I’ll be at SAFF today, from 9-2. If you see me, say hi!
