Last spring I fell head over heels for YOTH Yarns. You know... that kind of yarn love where you know the minute you see it that you must have it.
Since then I've been anxiously awaiting the time when I could share about the fabulousness of this "to dye" for yarn company on the blog! I had the lovely chance to meet Veronika, one of the co-owners of YOTH Yarns, at our stop to visit Tolt Yarn & Wool in Carnation, WA during Vogue Knitting. I already knew Veronika was talented and sweet (have you read her blog Yarn on the House?) but when I spotted her brand spanking new yarn I knew I was hooked. They've got squish factor, are great for texture, the colors are your new fave go to's and they are just plain awesome to knit with! My friends and I have all been coveting our lovely skeins and I have no doubt in my mind that YOTH Yarns is going to go far and do big things.
// What are the YOTH Yarns? YOTH Yarns are available in two sizes in a lovely MCN blend: DK weight, aptly called Big Sister, and fingering weight, called....you guessed it....Little Brother. The yarns are named after Veronika and her business partner and brother Daniel. I love their story and I love that it's a family business. You can read more about Veronika and Daniel on their About Page HERE.
// What is the goal of YOTH Yarns? Veronika and Daniel created YOTH Yarns to bring sophisticate, unisex colors to the market that they believe not only have a special place in their hearts, but are what is missing out there. They are hard at work creating 4 color palettes. Their first one is the Raw Palette. You can find it for sale online at yothyarns.com and in their two exclusive flagship stores: Tolt Yarn & Wool in Carnation, WA and Baaad Anna's in Vancouver, BC, Canada.
I feel so lucky to have some delicious YOTH Yarns in my stash and have plans to add many more. YOTH is planning on releasing their next color palette - FRESH, a group of 12 crisp and earthy blues and greens. I cannot wait! Seriously! I've been bombarding Veronika's inbox for the when's and how's of getting my hands on some. But for now here's a sampling of the RAW Palette (shown below) that is out now.
"Our yarns are lovingly curated by Little Brother and Big Sister, dyed in a beautiful dye house in Maine and then shipped to you from our home in Woodinville, WA. We bring you sophisticated color palettes that are as delicious to the eye as they are to knit."
And just to add icing on the cake Veronika is also a talented designer. You can see all her patterns HERE. She's getting ready to release a small collection of 4 garment pieces and 2 neckwear pieces soon! They will also be at Stitches West this upcoming spring with lots of their One of a Kinds and their completed color palettes! Drool!!!
