Photo of gorgeous yarn from Allison Barnes Yarns laying on a wood plank table. The yarn looks like berry sorbet with delicious raspberry and grape tonal colours with hints of speckle. A hank of yarn is unrolled and swooshed on the table, with others in their label placed beside. There are some pretty blooms that I can’t identify laying nearby.

Birds eye photo of yarn on the wood plank table with a small white Adirondack style chair. The yarns are two shades of blue from Allison Barnes Yarns, a light and a medium blue each with hints of speckle. On the chair are some double pointed needles and a Tunisian crochet hook. This was an advertising photo for a yarn shop.

Photo of some powerfully stunning yarn from Allison Barnes Yarns. The yarn is rich orange with swooshes of green, black, grey, and purples. Hanks are laying upward in the right bottom of the photo, with a hank swooshing across the table. In the top right and bottom left are some brilliant orange roses with deep green stems and leaves.

I came across a bunch of my photos of yarns from @allisonbarnesyarn.bsky.social and felt wildly nostalgic for the days I spent capturing new shop stock. Her colours are 🤩 and 😍 with a bit of 💥.

I’m feeling sooooo much better today. 💪

Thank you! 😘

Started a new sweater. Tata Matilda by marziasknit. The striping colour is my handspun yarn spun from a braid of “Campfire Nights” on 100% targhee from @craftythatway.bsky.social
The light peach colour is a lighter version of “Curiosity” on 80% Targhee/20% alpaca from Rosebud River Fibre Mill.

Learn to dye yarn at home. I’ll hold your hand while you learn to dye yarn. My videos are easy to follow and come in either English with captions, or English with French subtitles.

Pick up some bare yarn and dyes available on my website, and download my videos to get started dyeing your own! #dyer

Beautiful space! I can’t wait to see you put colour into it.

Oh dear

Each square is 15x15 inches. Assembled 45x60 inches but then you crochet a border. So bigger than that!

Crocheted one square for every month in 1975. Each round is the daily high temperature. Upcoming 50th wedding anniversary gift for my parents. #crochet #TemperatureBlanket

Oh geez! Bulk purchase? Or never use it?

What’s something you have so much of that it will last beyond your life expectancy?
