Carly's Clayworks Strikes Again!
Carly has made a new batch of beautiful yarn bowls. This time she experimented with some new glaze colors, as well as an unusual, triangle-shaped slot. Here's the listing for the bowls. Remember that if you have a custom request, you can always just contact us!
We've added Huasco Chunky and Worsted to our line up! Huasco DK has been on our shelves for some time, but we decided that we just loved the heavier weights too much not to have them, too! It is so hard to show in a picture how luscious these hand-dyed yarns are. The tonal colors are rich and deep, and the wool is bouncy, bouncy, bouncy! Our very own Dashiemouse has designed a beautiful hat pattern for the worsted weight yarn - Left Stranded. It's meant to be a gentle introduction to stranded colorwork in knitting. Remember that if you're feeling doubtful about your color choices, you can always ask us to take a picture of a few yarns together...
Skein Shop is thrilled to announce a partnership with Cincinnati ceramicist, Carly Leon! Carly creates amazing, hand-crafted pieces that are both highly functional and extremely beautiful. She has agreed to make some yarn bowls for us to share with you, and we could not be more pleased. Her bowls are each a unique work of art from the shape of the bowl itself to the decorative glazing. If you have been looking for the ultimate accent to your crafting area, one of these bowls is the perfect thing. We love using ours around the shop, and we hope you will, too. Carly also accepts custom orders for specific bowl shapes, sizes, and colors. If you would like to request...
Old Favorites
New to Skein Shop are two yarns that needleworkers have loved for years. Elsebeth Lavold's Hempathy and Silky Wool are unparalleled when it comes to high-quality garment yarns.
Both yarns come in a huge range of colors and are finely textured. Lightweight and drapey, Hempathy and Silky Wool work to the same gauge, so you can use most patterns for either yarn interchangeably.

Hand-Dyed Beauty
Skein Shop is excited to announce the arrival of our newest brand - Araucanía! This gorgeous, hand-dyed yarn is a thrilling color overload.
We've selected three beautiful lines from this family: Caña Ruca, a sugar cane viscose with amazing drape, Mana, 100% silk in mouth-watering jeweltones, and Huasco DK, bouncy wool with a coordinated palette of tonals and multis.
