A little experiment in opposites.

For this update, I’ve been playing with layers of variegation and speckles, pushing one colorway toward something light, bright, and scattered with color, and the other into deeper, murkier territory with smoky neutrals, muted greens, reds, pinks, and shadowy little shifts throughout.

Nothing too tidy. Nothing too predictable. Just a lot of color layered on top of color and seeing where it goes.

How the Shop Works

Fiber for the People yarn is dyed by hand in small batches and released through shop updates every other Saturday at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time.

Most updates are built around a collection or theme, with colorways that are designed to work together while still pairing beautifully with existing colors in the shop. Because everything is dyed in small batches (by a single dyer), quantities are limited and colorways may not return once they sell out.

The best way to stay in the loop is through the Fiber for the People newsletter. Subscribers receive collection previews, inspiration notes, shop update announcements, and occasional behind-the-scenes glimpses into what’s happening in the dye studio.

You'll also find shop updates and occasional yarn-related news on the Wool Needles Hands podcast, and if you enjoy seeing the process behind the colors, the Wool Needles Hands Patreon is where I share dye days, collection development, and studio life.
