About

A little about me.

My name is Darcy, and I have lived in Vermont all my life (aside from a few months in upstate New York as a teenager with my mother), over 50 years!! My Vermont, and New England roots are deep, as well as New York.

I know this because I have become the family historian.  When I am not working with yarn in some way, I am working on my genealogy.  I am completely immersed in the whole thing. Even tested my DNA, as well as other family members.  I have traced some of my lines to the Mayflower and beyond, and to some Files du Roi in New France.  

But back to yarn!!!

I started knitting and crocheting at a very early age, about 3. I wasn't making afghans or sweaters, just simple garter stitch scarves. I know this because there is photographic proof of me knitting. As an adult I of course got more serious about my craft. Over the years I was asked by friends and family if I would knit or crochet something for them, and sometimes they would reimburse me for the yarn.

A few years ago I became curious about dyeing my own yarn. I was becoming bored with what I could find in my Local Yarn Store (LYS). After some extensive research I was ready to give it a try. I was hooked immediately (pun intended). Same with my knitting and crocheting, I had a few friends ask me if they could buy what I was dyeing.

This is when I decided to turn my hobby into a small business.  Right now it does need to be small since I have a day job.

I am truly excited about this new adventure.  I can't wait to see where it leads. 

You will notice the names of a few of my colorways are inspired by my genealogy. Sometimes it's a name or a place; Gleason and Tupper Lake just to name two.

Thank you so much for stopping by.  If you don't see something you are looking for now, please check back soon, as I will be adding more hand dyed yarn, and knitted and crocheted items often.
