Jake’s new socks are finished. The yarn is by Potions and Purls. The colorway is One Moment in Time. My usual plain vanilla sock. #Knitting #IndieDyers #HandDyed #Yarn #Socks 🧶🧦

An open box on its side with 7 skeins of hand dyed yarn. You’re looking at the ends of the skeins. They are purple, deep red, coral, bright pink, lavender, pale mint green, and a yellow green. These colors are usually only on Lichen and Lace’s sport heather line but they do them on the sock yarn base every so often. This maker is such a joy to work with. If there’s something you’d like but just don’t see as available, send them a message and ask. If they can do it, they’ll send you a link to complete the purchase.

Here are the custom dyed yarns that will be part of next year’s temperature project. I’ll create a new pallette with these, The bright blue I got a color months ago, and some of the colors I’m using this year. #LichenAndLace #Knitting #2027TP #IndieDyers #HandDyed #Yarn 🧶

As soon as I posted about the yarn package, Jake pulled in and hand delivered joy in a box. The Blue is called Sea Holly, and the variegated is called Mid Winter Glow. The blue will be in next year’s TP. The MWG is for shits and giggles, AKA socks for me. #LichenAndLace #IndieDyers #HandDyedYarn 🧶

I want to intentionally support marginalized indie dyers - #queer, #BIPOC, #Indigenous, #women-owned businesses.
Drop your recommendations below! Bonus points (for me LOL) if you share what makes their colorways special 💜 thank you so much! #Crochet #Knitting #FiberArt #IndieDyers #YarnStuff #Witch

The finished Huzzah socks. They’re a sitting green with swirls of pink/purple and speckles.

The finished Huzzah socks folded on top of the folded Cheaper Than Therapy socks. CTT is cream and mint green with bits of yellow and very random tiny bits of pink and orange.

Leo, my fancy feet tuxy tabby decided I should be petting him instead of photographing socks. 🐈

Huzzah! Finished the Huzzah socks. The yarn is from #TheSheepyShire and they’re one of my favorite #IndieDyers. Julie lives ~30 min from me so I’ll be taking a quick road trip to deliver these tomorrow so she has them before the snow hits. They’re a slightly belated b-day gift. #Knitting #Socks 🧶🧦

Here’s the two colorways that are on their way from Lichen & Lace: Bouquet and I See Seashells. While I’m using her tonal colorways for the 2026 temp project, I prefer the ones with more colors for socks. I want to try them all!!

A skein of sock yarn in white, shades of grey and pale blue, and accents of black.

Also got myself a skein of Rainy Day. #LichenAndLace #JustBecause #CanNeverHaveTooMuchYarn #IndieDyers #HandDyed #Yarn 🧶

These are both by Evergreen Yarn Studio. Front is Solar Eclipse (yellow, fuchsia, orange, black, and white) and back is Lemon Drop.

Solar Eclipse, Lemon Drop, and Good Vibes (yellow, fuchsia, orange, and purple) also from Evergreen Yarn Studio that I already had on hand.

Scorch from Threads By Megannicole. This one is a 70/20/10 wool/nylon/cashmere blend so it will be knit by itself.

Decided to wind the yarn I got to knit socks. for my sister Sam. Her favorite colors are yellow & red. So far, I’ve focused on yellow. Notes are in alt. #Yarn 🧶 #HandDyed #IndieDyers #EvergreenYarnStudio #ThreadsByMegannicole

Yet another example of why I love the community of knitters and fiber artists. I have trans friends and the description of this colorway’s inspiration brought me to tears. #Knitting #Yarn #IndieDyers #Fiber 🧶

Work was fabulous (my teammates are rockstars!) and as I was clocking out, the mail arrived with my monthly subscription yarn from #TheSheepyShire!! #Yarn #IndieDyers #HandDyed 🧶

Hand knit sock in progress. The main color is Lily and has all the shades of orange you’d expect. The contrast color is Sweet Potato and is the colors of a regular sweet potato and the purple variety.

Absolutely love how these two colorways are working together!! They are Lilly and Sweet Potato from Lichen & Lace. #Yarn #HandDyed #IndieDyers 🧶

Jake has a pair of gorgeous boots almost the exact color of this bag. I picked this yarn for him to go with those boots. I’m not usually a fan of neutral colors but I’m absolutely smitten with this combo of blue and brown. #ThreadsByMegannicole #Muud #Knitting #Yarn #IndieDyers 🧶

Another repeat done. Still can’t decide if I’m doing one or two more. I’m antsy to get to the fun bits but this is so pretty. Guess I’ll figure it out after the next one. #Knitting 🧶 #CopperSheep #IndieDyers #HandDyed #Yarn

I love the pink and red heart bag I got from Charming Necessities so much that I got another one! It’s got the perfect summer vibes. The yarn is from another new to me indie dyer…Evergreen Yarn Studio in Olympia WA. Colorways are Good Vibes (L) and Carnivale (R). #IndieDyers #HandDyed #Yarn 🧶

My 1st teapot. It’s cast iron with enamel lining in a Japanese style in purple with abstract/geometric gold flowers. The mug is purple and blue. I got it as a souvenir when we took Max and Carter to see the Statue of Liberty in the spring of 2005.

On the left is a full skein of One Good Thing (turquoise, blue, pink, and purple) and a mini of Mermaid Mayhem (purple, blue, and turquoise) both by Feisty Fibres. On the right is Candy Ribbons (red, green, white, and gold sparkle) from Cashmere and Coconuts.

While hanging out in the office sipping my first cuppa from the new teapot (Honeycake Caramel Herbal from Plum Deluxe) I decided to wind up a couple more skeins for Phaja socks. I think this makes a total of 11 or 12 pair for her for the year. #Tea #Knitting #Yarn #IndieDyers #HandCrafted 🫖🧶

Left to right: Avalon, Sexy Nerd, One Good Thing, and a mini skein of Mermaid Mayhem that was a surprise. Looks like I inadvertently ordered a fade set.

The yarn that was supposed to be here yesterday got delayed again and is now supposed to be here tomorrow. But my latest order from Fiesty Fibres (creator of the Rave colorway) arrived today so I haz a happy! #Yarn #IndieDyers #HandDyedYarn 🧶

Here’s why I love using sock yarn from The Sheepy Shire (Etsy): It’s a fine yarn (works best on a needle that’s 2.25mm—2.75mm); yet, it’s a 4-ply that has a wonderfully springy high twist; her colors are gorgeous & I love the speckled quality of her yarns. #IndieDyers #Yarn #HandDyedYarn #Knitting 🧶
