Talented artisans Kate and Rachel, the minds behind Spincycle Yarns, began by spinning yarns at home. Each skein was beautiful, unique, and something they wanted to share. By pairing with a woman-run micro mill, they could produce yarn on a larger scale. Together they created a new product: mill-spun yarn that looks and behaves like handspun.

Meet Dyed in the Wool. Dyed and then plied, it knits up with the exuberance of a handspun yarn. Long color progressions create speckled, striped sections that add surprise and delight to each project. The rounded plies produce a delightfully unpredictable fabric, making knitting with this bouncy 100% wool yarn a fun (and slightly addictive) experience.

Readers of the most recent issue of Pom Pom Quarterly may have noticed this yarn used in Tuuli, a pattern by Lydia Gluck. These cozy mitts, shown in “Pick Your Poison,” seem subtle but have a secret: the color movement is used to full effect by striping from both ends of a single skein!

The beauty of Dyed in the Wool's color variations shine in Quadrifurcus, a hat design from La Maison Rililie. Slipped stitches create an intriguing woven feel for this slouchy toque. Pair “Nostalgia” with Shibui Staccato in “Ash” for plenty of visual texture.

Cozy up to Churchmouse’s Koigu Linen Stitch Scarf. Intended for hand-painted sock yarns, linen stitch shows up exquisitely in Dyed in the Wool. The woven texture of this pattern benefits from a mixture of neutral and vibrant colorways. Knit it entirely in “Overpasses” and marvel at the results.
Spincycle's Dyed in the Wool lends itself to many possibilities for knitters who have long admired barber-poled beauties created from fluffy fibers. For more history on Spincycle, check out our blog. We can’t wait to see your spin on this unique new yarn!
