Helen: Our New Yarn Base!

Helen: Our New Yarn Base!

Say hello to Helen!

Helen is our new base that’s been in the works for a long time! From our friends at Battenkill Fiber Mill and dyed by our in house dyer this is a non-superwash New England Romney and merino blend that we have in DK and Fingering.

We’re debuting this special yarn for the fiber festival this Sunday and have limited quantities so get it before it’s gone!

Helen is a springy and cozy and named for my grandma, Helen, who taught me to knit and loved yarn her whole life. Swipe for a picture of the two of us from a decade ago!

Learn more about our colorways below. 

Dirty Water 

Dirty Water is our undyed and unbleached showing off the color of the Romney and merino sheep this wool came from. We think the name needs no explanation. 

Mrs. Mallard 

We all ready Make Way for Ducklings as kids right? And maybe you've been to the statues in the Public Garden. Either way we love the Mallard family and Mrs. Mallard evokes the beautiful browns of female mallards. 

Iced Regulah 

Even as a native New England-er, I had no idea that ordering my coffee regular meant that I'd get cream and sugar rather than my usual black coffee. Iced Regulah is an ode to Dunks, Mary Lou's, and all the other local coffee chains that sustain us. 

Allston Christmas 

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Need a random piece of furniture? Make sure you go to Allston/Brighton on September 1st and get yourself something you never knew you needed! 

Hops 

Being gluten free is basically a third of my personality (the other two thirds are gay and small business owner) and there's nothing I miss about gluten more than a hoppy beer. Hops is inspired by the golden color of a crisp local IPA. 

South End 

South End is a warm terracotta inspired by the brick sidewalks and brownstones of the neighborhood Boston Fiber Company calls home. 

Cranberry Bog 

It's impossible to go on a coastal New England drive without finding yourself traveling through beautiful cranberry bogs. This is a deep, warm maroon that's perfect for all of your fall projects.
