The winter weather FINALLY relented enough for us to get back on press with these adorable totes for @mindseyeyarns.bsky.social ! This sweet little shop started their small business journey the same time we did, and printing for them is always a joy to my fiber artist heart 🐙💜🐑🧿🧶

I’m in love with how much red yarn we’ve sold this week for this hat.

We’re so happy to welcome Deb Steytler’s art to the store! We’ll be showcasing these pieces and more for the next little while, come by to check them out! Glad to add some more color to the walls 🧶

I heard that #showmeyourknits is hats this week, which makes it the perfect time to tell you that we’re going to do a hat knitalong in November using three of Thea Colman’s patterns, including Daisy’s Hat, which Annie knit this week in Alegria Grande www.mindseyeyarns.com/search?q=ale...

Also, our new bags got here, and OMG I'm in love. We say "that'll block out" so often in the store, and with varying levels of conviction! 😂 (Quick blocking instructions: soak in water with a bit of wool wash, gently squeeze out the water, and lay flat to dry.) Thank you, @printinkling.bsky.social

I love when people do unexpected things with yarn. You see Amano's Duna, and you think tank top, maybe lacey lightweight scarf. One of our customers thought "double knit baby blanket." I can't wait to see the finished project! #knitsky #knitting #amanoyarns www.mindseyeyarns.com/products/dun...

Duna

Duna combines the natural color from organic cotton with subtle hues of naturally colored alpaca. In our dyed version, the subtly tinted organic cotton and alpaca base enhances its appeal while preser...

Great reasons to swatch for your next project: 🧶 See if yarn is thin or thick. 🧶 check if you're using the right needle size. 🧶 see how the yarn looks when knitted up. 🧶Estimate how much you need. 🧶See how the yarn washes. germandercottagecrafts.com/yarn-weight-... #crochet #knitting #knitsky

This is the move, loves. It doesn't have to be us. It doesn't have to be stickers. But when you purchase Stuff from people who make Stuff, you keep art alive. You keep agency and craftsmanship and the human spirit alive. You fund cat food and full cupboards instead of yachts

For me, one of the biggest compliments i can give a pattern is to finish one and immediately cast on a second. Finished my Dubbel Dark in Riti and immediately grabbed yarn for a second in Falkland Worsted. I adore this pattern! #knitsky #knitting #amanoyarns www.mindseyeyarns.com/products/rit...

I (Kay) knit more than I crochet, but when your 14yo makes a request, you fulfill it! The pattern and I disagree about gauge, but I’m in love with the yarn (Riti). Delightful to knit AND crochet. Pattern is Léontine Hooded Scarf www.mindseyeyarns.com/products/rit... #knitsky #crochet #amanoyarns

The thing with art is - and this goes for every art form - you've gotta be willing to screw up. You have to be okay with the idea that you spend hours & hours on something...and it sucks, or breaks before you're done. You need to let go of pride. A lot of folks are not prepared to let go of pride.

The return of Mystery Bags! Twice a year, we pull out our mystery bags for you. For $5, get at least $10 worth of yarn (probably yarn. Almost certainly yarns. Our kids put them together, so there's a small chance it could be a Pokemon but it definitely SHOULD be yarn). #knitting #crochet #gbyc2025

Guess who has their very own sign! We look like a real store! Sure the building still needs a facade, but we're much easier to find. We were already celebrating LYS day, but now get an extra $5 off a purchase of $15 or more Saturday and Sunday if you mention that we sell yarn at its best. 🧶 #knitsky

Sometimes simple and repetitive and beautiful is what you need. This WIP is Wild Violet Fibers' Alpaca Silk Cashmere DK 🧶 and Junction Fiber Mill's Making Tracks Lite. This will easily be the most luxurious thing I've ever made myself. Just the calming thing I need. #showmeyourknits #knitsky
