Get yarn!

Who’s the Blonde Chicken?

Hi! I'm Tara and I'm the Blonde Chicken behind all this yarn! You can read more about how I got this silly nickname here or come learn about crafting a business here.

Get love. Yarn Love

Love notes when there's fresh yarn

Local Cashmere

Remember the cashmere from Rammings farm?

Cashmere goat

Jennifer had his fiber blended with a little wool (also from her flock) and it turned out to be a lovely, tweedy gray with just hints of brown.

This color was too rich to dye or card, so I left it natural and spun it with bright colors.

Prairie Sunset

Prairie Sunset is cashmere spun with Hobbledehoy’s Kombucha batt, a fun mix of merino, ecospun and sparkle.

Silver Lining

Silver Lining is cashmere spun with handdyed mill-ends (available in the Boutique tomorrow today!)

I have a smidge of cashmere left…what do you think I should do with it? Should I spin it with another color or try dyeing or carding it?

    Amazing stuff! I don't know enough about spinning, carding or dyeing for that matter, so I'm not one to give you advice on your dilemma. All I can say is too bad you can't eat it— that's some yummy yarn.
