About Us
Together, we create finished natural fiber knits, notions for other makers, and offer some of our favorite domestic yarns for other knitters, crocheters, and weavers.
We full-time RV, with “home bases” in Virginia, Missouri, Colorado, and Florida.
Currently, we’re enjoying a stay in Washington State. Follow us on social media to get a peak into our travels.

We donate to plant a tree through the National Forest Foundation for each item you purchase.
Why natural fibers?
When Karen first learned to knit, she didn’t realize that nearly all the yarns at the big box stores were acrylic – that’s right plastic.
While she enjoyed knitting, she didn’t really become passionate about it until she was introduced to natural fibers – hand-dyed merino, hand-spun wool, and later locally farmed wool, llama, and alpaca. The sustainability. The natural beauty. The marked improvement in comfort, workability and fit. The farmers who know their animals by name and personality. The dyers who turn skeins of yarn into their canvas to create beautiful works of art.
For all these reasons and more, we use natural fibers to bring you loving crafted sustainable clothing & accessories, slow fashion & slow textiles.
