Muldoon - "Clever Girl". Muldoon's final words as the circling trio of raptors strike. While this scene may not carry the same punch of terror it did when you were a kid, you have to admit, it still probably sends a shiver down your spine.

Mr. DNA - July's Jurassic Park club colourway. What I like about this one is how the bursts of bright yellow really make the blues pop! And the tiny bits of green you get, where they meet, give it so much character.

Tim - "What do you call a blind dinosaur? Do-you-think-he-saurus. What do you call a blind dinosaurs' dog? Do-you-think-he-saurus-rex." Such a dad joke, but gets us every time 🤣 July's Jurassic Park Club will be available as a pre-order until July 31st at midnight. #jurassicpark #handdyedyarn

Summer is off to a fantastic start! ☀️ We're loving the vibes, and it's got us thinking about our fun summer colourways we have on spinning fibre. Pictured are Peony, Not Your Unicorn, Framboise, and Jelly Beans on Polwarth.

We're almost ready to start packing for our honeymoon in a few days. Which is mostly some 800+ skeins of yarn and a few dozen spinning fibre lol. But I just had to snap a couple pics of these beauties before they went in a bag.

July's Jurassic Park Club dye pan teaser 🦖 Tell me this doesn't look like a sunny spring afternoon! That or maybe Van Gogh's Starry Night lol. With bright yellows and vivid reds, all set against an intense blue background, this is the perfect colourway to cast on that summer project with.

See Nobody Care - May's Jurassic Park club colourway. Ok, real talk. I love love LOVE this colourway! Not only do I think Erin absolutely nailed this one, but it's 100% my colours. Almost a lighter version of my first ever colourway, You're My Obsession.

We're excited to announce that our online shop has been restocked with new fade sets! Cactus Flower on Sweet Pea Sock half skeins. This succulent-inspired fade is a fan favourite and always sells out quickly at fibre shows. 1/3

Here we go again... The Canada Post labour strike is expected to resume on Friday, May 23. Needless to say, this isn't ideal for anyone, particularly small business owners.

We've sold out of The Hippy Dippy full skein fade sets. Don't worry, we'll be dying them to order now! But, we now also have The Hippy Dippy mini-skein fade sets! Choose from either Sweet Pea Sock minis, Wood Lily Sock minis, or Wood Lily Dk minis.

3 weeks since I married my best friend. And yes, Erin knit both of our sweaters 🧶 Erin's sweater is the Love Note by @tincanknits using 32 Is The New 23 on Sweet Pea Sock, held with Mallard on Anemone Lace. Mine is the Kookaburra by @marzena.kolaczek using Purple Kush on Cottonwood Dk.

Introducing 'The Hippy Dippy' Sweet Pea Sock Fade Set, inspired by the beautiful sunsets of the beach. This stunning fade set originated from a joke shared at the "Knit All The Things In The Mountains" retreat, hosted by @hippystrings at the Overlander Lodge in Jasper.

Erin and I are home from our week long trip and are slowly getting back into the grind. Our priority will be May's clubs, followed by pre-orders from the trip and shop orders. We'll also be sending out this month's newsletter shortly, which will talk about a surprise we have for next week!

June's Jurassic Park club dye pan teaser. The deep, rich tones of this colourway, combined with the loud pops of blue, really bring this one all together. June's Jurassic Park club pre-order is available until May 31st at midnight.

Ray Arnold "Hold onto your butts" How could we not include Samuel L. Jackson in our club. While not having a huge role in the movie, Sam Jackson just always has a presence about him. Taking over every scene he's in. Plus, Erin was just dying to have a colourway called Hold Onto Your Butts lol.

Unless They Figure Out How To Open Doors - April's Jurassic Park club colourway. One of the most anxiety ridden scenes in the whole movie as the kids are stalked by the raptors. As both former chefs Erin and I were far more interested in the kitchen itself and trying to identify the equipment lol.

Wolseley Wool, located west of downtown Winnipeg in the heart of the Wolseley neighbourhood, was the very first store to carry our yarn. And not only are they fully restocked with our OG base, Sweet Pea Sock, they now carry our luxurious Polwarth spinning fibre! #lys

We're thrilled to announce we've partnered up with a new local yarn store! Kat's Cract Corner, located in Oshawa, Ontario, only just recently celebrated their grand opening. But they've already established themselves as a warm, inviting place to knit and, of course, squish all the fun things.

Frozen Wheat is back! One of our OG colourways, we discontinued it shortly after introducing the colourway Latte. They were both very similar, and Latte was the clear favourite of the two. But over the past few months, we've had quite a few people asking for it. So don't say we never listen lol.

One of our biggest concerns when we first decided to do a Jurassic Park club was how do we not have every colour be either green or brown, which is the movie's predominant colour pallet. But it didn't take long until we saw fun bursts of colour like Dennis Nedry's Hawaiian shirt when we rewatched it

Dennis Nedry "See, nobody cares." Trystan here. I have to admit, out of all of the colourway names for this year's club, this one is my absolute favourite and still makes me laugh every time I read it. Which of course I do in his voice lol. And you know you did too!

Chapter 33 - Erin's birthday colourway Every year, we make a signature colourway for Erin's birthday. And we might be a bit late to the party (pun intended) since her birthday was last weekend. But, better late than never. Chapter 33 is available now, on all of our standard bases. #handdyedyarn

Erin has a new knitting machine she's been playing happily around with, and to test it, she knit up a swatch of our first 3 Jurassic Park colourways. It's wild to think we're almost in April, and we'll be posting the inspiration pic for the 5th month already.

Woman Inherits TheEarth - March's Jurassic Park club colourway. When we rewatched the movie, Erin had a little notebook that she wrote all of her ideas for colourways down on. And this ended up being one of her favourite lines from the entire movie.

Chai is back! Sometimes colourways can become inconsistent over time, especially when it comes to some of our very first ones. When that happens, we pull the colourway until we're able to rework the recipe to meet our standards. #chai #winnipeg #fireweedfibreco #itsback

As we're sure you're probably all aware by now, there are new tariffs in place for goods shipping across the Canadian/US border. The short end of it is that all shipments under $800 will be exempt from the tariffs. At least until further notice.

Yesterday's poll regarding the Jurassic Park clubs was literally 50/50 lol. Going forward, we'll be sending Jurassic Park club invoices at the beginning of the month to allow plenty of time to renew. And you'll have until the end of the month to complete the invoice. 1/2

'Unless They Figure Out How To Open Doors.' Edit* I guess that's what I get for trying to do work at 5am. The post earlier was the incorrect month's dye pan picture 😮‍💨🤦‍♂️ This month's club took a few tries to get just right, but when Erin got it right, she got it right! #jurassicpark #winnipeg
