Inspired by Nature

Some of the best inspiration can be found in the natural world all around us. From crisp autumn leaves to pastel fluffy clouds, I love showcasing colors found in nature.

Inspired by Art

Art is a communication of feelings, thoughts and interpretations of the world around us. I love creating interpretations of other artist's works and finding my own versions of their creations.

Inspired by Literature

Literature can bring whole new worlds of imagination and emotion alive within us. I am inspired by characters, places and emotions brought to life in writing. Poetry, Romance, Fantasy... you name it!

When I started getting back into knitting after a ten year hiatus in 2019, indie-dyed yarn was relatively new to me. I fell in love with The Red Pansy’s Ballerina colorway and it became one of the first purchases I made from one of these indie dyers. I’ve been impressed with Kelli’s drive to constantly improve and when I recently made my second purchase from her shop, I was even more blown away with her artistry and customer service.

I've been buying Kelli's yarn since 2018, and she has remained one of my favorite dyers ever since. While I primarily buy her yarn for her unique colorways that never fail to impress, I have always appreciated her customer service skills, the reliability of her service, and how accurate the skeins are to the photos she takes. Custom dyes always arrive quickly, and pre-orders have quick turnarounds!
