About Me & My Hand Dyed Yarn
Artisan Hand-Dyed Fibers
Yarn in the Woods is a brand new indie dyer operated by one woman out of Galena, Illinois.

Yarn in the Woods is a brand new indie dyer operated by one woman out of Galena, Illinois. I create and sell hand dyed yarn, and hand painted yarn and natural fibers for knitting, crocheting, felting, weaving, spinning, etc. I primarily do small-batch dyeing for unique colorways. Additionally, I offer custom hand-dyed yarn colorways or larger amounts of certain colorways if you need more for a larger project (including hand dyed merino wool yarn in a ton of semi-solids). Head over to my Color Gallery to see what dye colors I have available in my collection!
About the fiber artist
My name is Lauren, and I am the fiber artist behind Yarn in the Woods' custom hand-dyed yarn. My paternal grandmother used to own her fiber and crafts shop in Pennsylvania, and even though she passed on before we could talk about it, I hope that I am channeling her genetic memories through my yarn and knitting, as well as other fiber work

My paternal grandmother used to own her fiber and crafts shop in Pennsylvania, and even though she passed on before we could talk about it, I hope that I am channeling her genetic memories through my yarn and knitting, as well as other fiber works. All products and hand dyed yarn and fibers are created in historic Galena, Illinois, where my mother's side of the family has lived for several generations.
Much of my inspiration for colorways comes from nature as well as fantastical stories, cryptids, and fantasy creatures, hence the name Yarn in the Woods (a yarn being another term for a story/tall tale).
Types of Yarn I Dye

In addition to the traditional animal fiber yarns like wool and alpaca, I will also feature colorways on plant fiber yarns such as cotton and linen. Many indie dyers only (or mostly) dye animal fiber yarns because it tends to be significantly less time-consuming and easier than dyeing plant fiber yarns. Cotton and linen yarns are wonderfu
In addition to the traditional animal fiber yarns like wool and alpaca, I will also feature colorways on plant fiber yarns such as cotton and linen. Many indie dyers only (or mostly) dye animal fiber yarns because it tends to be significantly less time-consuming and easier than dyeing plant fiber yarns. Cotton and linen yarns are wonderful to use when making warm-weather projects such as tank tops, shorts, swimsuits, swimsuit covers, etc. Custom hand-dyed yarns make for unique, one-of-a-kind projects. All of my colors are also available as semi-solids, which you can order in my shop. Those are all on hand dyed merino wool yarn.
