About the Artisan

I love color and beautiful fiber. I'm fascinated by how hand-dyeing is a marvelous blend of art and science. One of my favorite things is when I put a final color on a skein of yarn or a length of fiber, and it achieves a sort of visual resonance, like adding in a note that was missing from a musical chord.

Lately my knitting tastes have gravitated towards semi-solid yarns, and my dyeing interests have followed. You’ll find rich, multi-layered semi-solids as well as vibrant variegated colorways in my shop.

All of my yarns and fibers are dyed by hand with professional-grade acid dyes and properly heat-set in my home studio in Bellingham, Washington, where I have been dyeing since 2006. While I carry a wide variety of yarn weights and fiber blends, my favorite wool is Blue-Faced Leicester, which I love for its softness and luster. I also have a weakness for the beautiful shine and drape of wool/silk blends.

Thank you for your interest in Huckleberry Knits!
