Yarn That’s Too Pretty To Knit

I’ve had lots of customers tell me this about my yarn over the years. They tell me they want to see it every day so they’re keeping it out on the coffee table. Or in a bowl in the middle of the dining room table like it’s a floral arrangement. One lovely knitter even put her skeins of Sundara Yarn in a basket on her kitchen island like the yarn was fruit.

It’s almost the best compliment I can get as a yarn dyer.

Which may sound strange because those are some pretty fantastic things to be told.

But the best compliments I get are when knitters send me photos of projects they’ve made out of my yarn. There is absolutely nothing better than seeing my yarn knit up (or crocheted or woven or whatever you want to do with yarn) into something that someone can use and love. It’s the culmination of the journey those skeins. From sheep to mill to me—the yarn dyer—to you, the one who will turn that yarn into what it was meant to be.

So while the yarn might feel too pretty to knit, Sundara Yarn also wants to become something you love, and it wants you to love the journey of making whatever it the yarn wants to be.
