Small-batch, hand dyed yarn from Portland, Maine

I’m a creative person, and when feelings get big and confusing, I don’t always know what to do with them. I usually end up making things. It’s not a solution, really—it’s just how I get through.

I saw the Melt the ICE pattern on Ravelry and it felt like a good place to put my attention for a while. Something to focus on when everything else feels heavy. When I went to start, I realized I didn’t have any red yarn. So I made some. While I was dyeing, it crossed my mind that I probably wasn’t the only one who needed red right now.

I’m doing this as a preorder mostly so I know how much I can make. Maine is in the middle of a big snowstorm, I’m limited to what I already have, and I can only make about 45 skeins total.

ICE is in Portland, Maine right now, harassing and arresting our friends and neighbors. That feels scary and overwhelming, and I don’t really know what to do with that. This is the one small way I know how to respond. I’ll donate the profits from every skein sold to Project Relief ME, a local organization helping people in our community. It’s not much, but it’s something, and right now that feels important.

Purling Pigeon yarn is small-batch, hand-dyed, and bursting with personality. No two skeins are ever the same—each one is a little fiber treasure, dyed in limited runs that can’t be repeated. Soft, squishy, and spun from high-end wool sourced from ethical, mulesing-free farms, it’s yarn you can feel good about. And here’s the kicker: it’s also one of the lowest-priced high-end hand-dyed yarns out there, so you can stitch up something fabulous without blowing your whole craft budget.
