Former fibre space yarnista (and current instructor) Jackson Roe began hand-dyeing yarn in 2020 as a hobby, which soon turned into a full-time business creating captivating colorways:

I come from a fine arts background and have always had a deep love for color. I gravitate towards luxe variegated, lively speckled, and playful neutral colorways.

I draw my inspiration from things that spark joy. I love to read mysteries, fantasies, and romances, which show up in my collections. Childhood memories also influence my colorways, like summer camp and South Florida, where I grew up. I hope you find moments of happiness when you sit down with a skein from Stella Luna Fiber Co!

We’re delighted to welcome more Stella Luna Fiber Co. yarns to space! (Read more about Jackson’s yarn inspirations here!)

The post Just Landed: Locally Dyed Stella Luna Suri Cloud Lace appeared first on fibre space.

Former fibre space yarnista (and current instructor) Jackson Roe started hand-dyeing yarn in 2020 as a hobby. Soon, her hobby expanded into a full-time passion for creating captivating colorways under the careful supervision of her golden retriever Stella (shown here checking out Jackson’s self-dyed make of Northern Augustins No. 4).

We caught up with Jackson recently to get her thoughts on dyeing yarn, being an indie artist, and where she gets her color inspiration:

Q: How do you describe what you do?

A: I’d describe yarn dyeing as a creative expression through color, inspired by the things that bring me joy. I often create collections based on places I’ve visited, elements of nostalgia, and the media I love, especially books.

Q: Is it different from what you thought you would do when you grew up?

A: I grew up thinking I’d be Britney Spears (I’m a 90s kid). Then, during undergrad, I imagined becoming a history professor, so it’s safe to say this path is quite different from what I once expected! But yarn dyeing, as both a career and a creative outlet, has turned out to be far more fulfilling than I ever imagined.

Q: How did you find yourself going from a fine arts background to dyeing yarn? Did you feel prepared for the change or did you have to do a lot of learning on the fly?

A: My fine arts background gave me a strong foundation in color theory. Whether you’re working with paint, printmaking inks, pastels, or dye pigments, understanding how colors interact plays a huge role in what happens in the dye pans. The biggest learning curve for me was mastering the technical side of dyeing, i.e., using mordants to ensure color fastness.

Q: What challenges do you face as an independent fibre artist? What advice would you give someone who wants to do what you do?

A: One of the biggest challenges of being an indie dyer is having to wear all the hats. Stella Luna Fiber Co. is truly a one-woman show. I handle everything from marketing and product photography to customer service to product development. For anyone interested in dyeing yarn, my advice is to be prepared: there’s a lot more involved than just playing with dye pigments. At the same time, don’t lose sight of what inspires you, lean into the colors and ideas that bring you joy, rather than just chasing what you think will sell. There’s a market for almost anything. In fact, my best-selling color, “Rainbow Trout,” came from my own love of trout fishing!

Q: We’re excited that you are right here in Old Town! How is creating locally important to you?

A: Being part of a local creative community has always been incredibly important to me. When I started Stella Luna Fiber Co. in Tennessee, the local knitting guild and groups played a huge role in supporting me and helping me find my footing as a budding yarn dyer. I also draw so much inspiration from where I live, Old Town and the DMV in general, are full of character, color, and history, and they constantly spark new creative ideas for me.

We’re thrilled to have our first Stella Luna yarn in the shop, with more coming soon!

We can’t repeat this enough—if you’re a linen fan, you do NOT want to miss out on this gorgeous 100% ecological yarn from France. (And if you’re not a linen fan yet, this is the yarn that may change your mind!)

Lightweight, breathable, and delightfully fresh feeling, Antigone is spun from flax grown in Normandy using ancient cultivation practices aimed at preserving the soil and producing high quality fibre without chemicals. Antigone’s 10-strand twist of combed, wet-spun linen forms a smooth, silky sport weight yarn with beautiful natural drape.

We love Antigone for light sweaters, summery tops, lacy cardigans to wear with our favorite tees and sundresses, and even crocheted shopping bags and totes! (Did we mention it comes in gorgeous colors and is machine washable too?)

Yarn Details

• Sport weight
• 100% ecological linen
• 284 yards (260 meters) per 100-gram ball
• 22 stitches = 4″ on US#2.5 (3 mm) needles or US#D (3.25 mm) hook
• Hand wash or delicate machine wash, dry flat
• $21, in-store and on our capsule

Now, if you haven’t worked with linen before, you might be wondering what the big deal is—isn’t it practically the same as cotton? Not at all!

Sourced from the seed pods of plants in the genus Gossypium, cotton fibres are fine and short, making them tricky to spin and prone to pilling. While cotton has become wildly popular for warm-weather wear due to its softness and easy dyeability, it tends to absorb and trap moisture rather than wicking it away from the skin—not ideal for humid climates like ours!

Linen is classified as a “bast” fibre, coming from the long, sturdy stems of the flax plant Linum usitatissimum. Used in textiles for over 30,000 years, linen is prized for its strength, durability, and natural moisture-wicking properties. While requiring specialized preparation before spinning, flax farming uses far less water, fertilizer, and pesticides than commercially-grown cotton, making it an ethical and eco-friendly choice of fibre.

With an attractive sheen and drape in contrast to cotton’s fluffy matte finish, linen gets better the more you wear it, softening over time and developing a special character all of its own—it’s no wonder we love working with it!

At this point, you’re probably ready to cast on (we know we are!), so let’s look at some pattern inspiration!

Offered in the same enchanting color palette as their Elements yarn, Ériu Fibre is fully traceable back to the farms from which each fleece is sourced, helping to support small Irish farmers and revitalize Ireland’s heritage sheep breeds.

Luxuriously butter-soft and a dream to work with, this lustrous blend of Bluefaced Leicester and Emerald Romney wool is ideal for worsted-style spinning into soft yet durable yarns. The long staple length of the fibres means that the yarn will hold together with less twist, so you can create yarns with beautiful fluidity and drape.

Authors of The Fleece and Fiber Sourcebook write:

Thanks to its lovely, fine, longwool fleece, Bluefaced Leicester has become a favorite among fibre lovers. Its springy appearance is called “tightly purled,” bringing to mind the movement of liquids flowing in a circular motion. When this wool is spun and plied smoothly, the yarn can look like a string of glistening pearls as well.

If non-spinning knitters, crocheters, and weavers could get their hands on reliable supplies of Romney, they’d fall in love. Romney is a reason all on its own to learn to spin your own yarn, and the fibre is so amenable it will help you learn the craft.

Fibre Details

• Fibre: 100% Bluefaced Leicester & Romney lambswool
• Preparation: Carded, gilled, and combed top
• Good for: Semi-worsted to worsted spinning
• Micron count: ~28-30 microns
• Staple length: 4-6″
• Put-up: 100 grams
• $20, in-store only

Hey Olga! What is catching your eye in spring and summer styles this year?

When looking at spring/summer trends for 2026, I discovered a general theme, which I’m calling “capture the light”! I was fascinated to see so many creative ways to have one’s knitwear capture and enhance the light. I saw styling with a myriad of sheer layers to emphasize shading and movement; there’s also a lot of focus on flax, linen, silk, and cotton, with thick and thin yarns and stitches offering lots of visible texture. There are also knit-then-cut floats to create fringes, and dropped stitches combined with soothing natural pastel tones and playful sunny yellow hues. Whether in colors or fabric characteristics, I’m seeing movement and light everywhere.

Mixing lace textures

Another trending style that caught my eye, specifically as a knitter, was the abundance of all-over lace textures: vintage filet crochet heirlooms upcycled into outfits, the minimalism of eyelets, and full-on knitted lace that allows light to peek through. Creative new ways of styling lace make those layers dynamic and catch your attention, adding fresh takes on a traditional style.

Whether you crochet, knit, weave, or tat, it’s time to bring lace back into your everyday wear! Personally, I’ve enjoyed seeing these intricate romantic accessories paired with a suit or worn as a belt or extra layer over the hips.

I’m also a fan of lace head kerchiefs that add a dash of nostalgia to any look. All of these options emphasize the contrast of lace patterning against a backdrop of everyday wear and add a modern twist to the historic, traditional art of making lace.

However, styling such an accessory can be tricky. The Nostalgia Stitch Along is a great way to try making your own in a low-stress way! Tossing on a fun shawl is easier than donning full-on garments (though we love those, too!). Stitching a lace triangular shawl, kerchief, or bandana usually uses one or two skeins of yarn, and can be livened up with different fibres, or even beads and sparkly threads. In the end, you’ll have a little something to help you capture a little light every day.

We held yarn double. We copied tiny, barely legible charts out of magazines so we could enlarge them to a reasonable size. We beaded things. There was no pattern too frilly; there was no accessory too twee. It was a time of whimsy. And so, we find ourselves looking through the Spring 2026 trends and realizing that’s exactly what the world needs right now: a little bit of nostalgia, a lot of whimsy, and some lace.

We invite you to join us from April 2 to June 4, 2026, for our Nostalgia Stitch Along (or SAL for those of you new to the lingo). Stitch up a little bit of whimsy! Make yourself a lace accessory as simple or as complex as you desire. We have a selection of patterns below at various levels, from beginner to advanced. Feel free to knit something easy breezy or challenge yourself to go wherever the whimsy takes you. We’ll have in-person support at some of our Stitch in Space and Cosmic Craft Night gatherings, so be on the lookout for those dates as well!

What’s a Stitch Along?

A Stitch Along (or knit/crochet along) is when a group of stitchers work on a similar pattern, or work towards a shared purpose, together–that’s it! Some are more formal, others less so. You guessed it—we want this to be low-stress, so we’re on the less formal side.

How do I join?

Pick your pattern. We have a collection of pattern suggestions to get you started, but the goal is simple: find a lace pattern that you like. If you have another pattern in mind, go for it!

Share your progress on social media with #fsnostalgia26, and cheer your fellow stitchers forward!

Meet up, if you’re local! You can join us in person on Thursday nights for Stitch in Space, in our second-floor space, as we stitch together. We’ll also be stitching at our Cosmic Craft Nites in April and May, a gathering for queer stitchers. We’ll post more details on dates and times with specialized help, and on socials.

The fun part

If you buy your project yarn from us, let us know that you are jumping into our Nostalgia SAL, and we will give you a custom fibre space x Katrinkles 2″ ruler for quick gauge checks on the go.

Show off your makes and cheer on your fellow stitchers by tagging your makes on social media using #fsnostalgia26!

The post Stitch up a little whimsy with our Nostalgia Stitch Along, April 2-June 4! appeared first on fibre space.

In 2009, when I wanted to fulfill my dream of opening an online yarn shop, I spent a long time thinking about the selection of yarns. Of course, only yarns I would happily knit myself were allowed in the assortment. After all, I was and still am my own best customer. What did all these yarns have in common? They were all incredibly soft and had beautiful, truly flattering colors. My target group was women and men who were already quite skilled knitters and were looking for exactly the yarns I liked: high-quality, sustainable, natural yarns without any frills or bling (okay, we do have a little bit of bling in our assortment now, too).

The next step, of course, was to begin producing amazing and eco-friendly yarns herself!

To be able to implement even more of my own ideas, I founded Kremke Soul Wool. The first yarn under this label was a hand-dyed, hand-spun Pima cotton, produced in Peru as a social project: the aim was to provide former coca farmers with a legal source of income through cotton cultivation.

More and more young people are learning to knit again. YouTube and the bold designs of talented up-and-coming designers are encouraging this new generation of DIY enthusiasts to quickly tackle more challenging projects and demand higher standards from yarns: They want yarns that are animal-friendly, environmentally friendly, free of harmful substances, sustainable, and produced under fair conditions, and that are truly enjoyable to knit with. If you belong to this target group, I want to be there for you!

We’re delighted to welcome two sparkly, sustainable yarns from Kremke Soul Wool to the shop  – meet Stellaris and Twinkle!

Kremke Soul Wool Stellaris

“No glitter in my house” was Britta’s motto until she discovered this exquisite yarn! Shimmering viscose rayon is spun with a sparkling strand of metallic polyester to add delicate highlights to your projects, whether used alone or as an accent. Stellaris comes in a gorgeous range of colors and feels soft and luxurious when worked up with other yarns—no scratchy metallics here!

Kremke Soul Wool Twinkle

Knitted on its own or with multiple strands held together, this soft, luxurious yarn creates elegant contrast in garments and accessories. (We love this as a summery alternative to mohair!)

The Bracket and Round 1 Matches (updated 3/26)

PDF: Lighter v darker neutrals fibre frenzy bracket

The Battle of the Neutrals!

The Neutrals semifinal will come down to De Rerum Natura Gilliatt in Poivre Blanc against De Rerum Natura Ulysse in Brouillard, pictured above. Which neutral–or perhaps which weight–is your favorite: a worsted-weight off-white with gray flecks, or the just-a-tinge-of-blue heathered gray in a lighter sport weight wool? Cast your votes on our Instagram stories poll soon!

Darker Neutrals

Conference Champion (March 26)

Talk about playing yarn chicken! Once again, we had a tie until the last minute, where De Rerum Natura Ulysse in Brouillard toppled De Rerum Natura Gilliatt in Fusain by one vote!

Round 3 (March 25)

Fibre friends, we’ve got this narrowed to the Darker Neutrals final. De Rerum Natura Gillatt in Fusain won its match against a much lighter gray in De Rerum Natura Goeland with a solid lead. And, De Rerum Ulysse in Brouillard beat Knitting for Olive Merino in Fingering in Licorice decisively. A deep charcoal gray worsted weight against a lighter gray sportweight? Get your votes in and let’s see which gray is victorious!

Round 2 (March 24)

What a thrilling round! After nearly 24 hours of voting, De Rerum Natura Gilliatt in Poivre and Knitting for Olive Merino Fingering in Licorice were neck and neck. Since there’s no overtime for ties, we were all set to have a rematch, until someone voted for Knitting for Olive Merino Fingering in Licorice in the last moments of voting being open!!! (Voting matters!) What an upset!

Natura Gilliatt in charcoal Fusain overthrew its lighter gray cousin, Goeland. The same thing happened with De Rerum Natura Ulysse in Fusain, beating Ulysse in Bouleau. The one lighter gray that won to play another round was De Rerum Natura Ulysse in Brouillard, which beat Knitting for Olive Soft Silk Mohair in Licorice. (Mohair is getting crushed thus far! This yarnista is looking for fuzzy hope in the Warmer and Cooler Colors rounds.) So far this round is showing just how much people love gray and black yarns (despite some of us not being able to see our stitches when working with black yarn.)

Round 1 (March 23)

Top seed: De Rerum Natura Gilliatt in Goeland v 8th seed: De Rerum Natura Gilliatt in Fusain

We think this is going to be a close one: this match-up of a medium gray versus a dark charcoal Gilliatt is one we’re watching closely. Both classics that go with everything, will the ease of seeing stitches in a lighter yarn give Goeland a slight advantage?

2nd: De Rerum Natura Gilliatt in Poivre v 7th: Knitting for Olive Merino Fingering in Licorice

This match feels like a true wildcard. The bouncy worsted Gilliatt in a light cool brown neutral versus a true, deep black in fingering weight is a fight that could go either way.

3rd: De Rerum Natura Ulysse in Fusain v 6th: De Rerum Natura Ulysse in Bouleau

Same sport-weight base, different shades of gray! The classic dark charcoal goes up against a popular of cool gray with just a touch of blue.

4th: De Rerum Natura Ulysse in Broulliard v 5th: Knitting for Olive Soft Silk Mohair in Licorice

Another match-up we couldn’t have predicted. True black mohair against a perfectly fog-hued  sport weight wool? We’re watching to see which team wins, and why.

Lighter Neutrals

Conference Champion (March 20)

The results are in, and your votes were decisive!  The ever-so-lightly peppered with gray De Rerum Natura Gilliatt in Poivre Blanc beat Knitting for Olive Heavy Merino in Cream for 2026 Light Neutrals bragging rights! Next week, we’ll start the Darker Neutrals category, to find out just which shades of brown, gray, tan, beige, and greige (and in which yarns) are winning your hearts.

Round 3 (March 19)

Worsted-weight Knitting for Olive Heavy Merino in Cream ousted the sport-weight De Rerum Natura Ulysse in Sel. The match between Gilliatts was much closer, but Poivre Blanc prevailed in the end! So which worsted will it be: Knitting for Olive Heavy Merino in Cream or De Rerum Natura Gilliatt in Poivre Blanc? We have a feeling it’ll be a real nailbiter!

Round 2 (March 18)

You voted, and the results were clear: Mohair was knocked out of the Lighter Neutrals category! Next up we have:

De Rerum Natura Gilliatt in Sel vs. De Rerum Natura Gilliatt in Poivre Blanc

This is going to be a close match with two shades in this base battling for the next round! Will the reigning top seed of a pure sheepy white hold the course, or will its lightly flecked sibling win?

De Rerum Natura Ulysse in Sel vs. Knitting for Olive Heavy Merino in Cream

A battle of the bases: Is the sport weight Ulysse tough enough to fight this worsted weight wonder?

Round 1 (March 17)

Top seed: De Rerum Natura Gilliatt in Sel v 8th seed: Knitting for Olive Soft Silk Mohair in Cream

The top seed of this group, De Rerum Natura’s Gilliatt in Sel was 2025’s best-selling yarn, and has the odds in its favor. But fans of mohair love a classic off-white/cream that goes with everything. Normally pretty cozy with this worsted heavyweight, don’t mistake Soft Silk Mohair’s gentle fuzz–it can stand on its own in any competition.

2nd: De Rerum Natura Ulysse in Poivre Blanc v 7th: De Rerum Natura Gilliatt in Poivre Blanc

We swear this wasn’t intentional, but the result of our very accurate rankings and traditional challenge-style setup! This battle of the off-white-with-just-a-touch-of-gray yarns is down to which weight of yarn stitchers prefer.

3rd: Knitting for Olive Soft Silk Mohair Undyed v 6th: De Rerum Natura Ulysse in Sel

Another battle between friends! These two often work together for winter accessories and garments, but which one is truly the strongest competitor?

4th: Knitting for Olive Heavy Merino in Cream v 5th: Knitting for Olive Soft Silk Mohair in Cloud

And yet another battle between two yarns that pair together beautifully. Many of you have held these two together for their sophisticated look, but today they fight to be named your favorite.

Cool Colors

Conference Champion (April 2)

We have a winner! Knitting for Olive Merino Fingering in Blue Tit was victorious over its Bottle Green sibling. This not-quite-navy but not-quite-royal blue shade is great for solid-color and colorwork stitching! It is sure to put up a strong fight against the Warm Colors Champion… which we’ll vote on next week!

Round 3 (April 1)

Definitive wins on both matches this round! Knitting for Olive Soft Silk Mohair in Deep Petroleum Blue’s Cinderella run was ended by Knitting for Olive Merino Fingering in Bottle Green. 

Also a close-out, Knitting for Olive Merino Fingering in Blue Tit beat Knitting for Olive Merino Fingering in Navy. We’re now down to green vs. blue in the super popular Knitting for Olive Merino Fingering in the final round!

Round 2 (March 31)

Round 2’s themes? Big defeats and shades of blue reigned. By over 20 votes, Knitting for Olive Soft Silk Mohair in Deep Petroleum Blue (a classic) beat Knitting for Olive Merino Fingering in Slate Green. (Ed. note: Mohair gets a win! Finally!) 

Knitting for Olive Merino Fingering in Blue Tit beat De Rerum Natura Gilliat in Cedre, also by over 20 votes.

Knitting for Olive Merino Fingering in Navy beat Knitting for Olive Heavy Merino in Poppy Blue but by only a handful of votes.

Knitting for Olive Merino Fingering in Bottle Green beat out the number 1 selling non-neutral of 2025, De Rerum Natura Ulysse in Tempete, by nearly 20 votes.

Color the yarnistas shocked! Perhaps our voters aren’t fans of worsted weights in cool colors?

Round 1 (March 30)

Top seed: De Rerum Natura Ulysse in Tempete v 8th seed: Knitting for Olive Merino Fingering in Bottle Green

We’re feeling the dark, moody vibes here. Ulysse in Tempete was the second best seller of 2025 here at fibre space! We think that the Merino Fingering in a deep forest green has a good chance of topping the champion, though.

2nd: Knitting for Olive Soft Silk Mohair in Deep Petroleum Blue v 7th: Knitting for Olive Merino Fingering in Slate Green

The top selling Mohair, and the third top seller overall has a shade so popular the world over, that Knitting for Olive itself sold out of it (you might remember this). Try not to hold that against it (even if you want to hold it with another yarn). Slate Green in Merino Fingering is another solid choice, though, perfect for lighter-weight accessories and garments.

3rd: De Rerum Natura Gilliatt in Cedre v 6th: Knitting for Olive Merino Fingering in Blue Tit

Back to our worsted weight bestie, Gilliatt, this time in the popular forest-y green Cedre. But, the surprisingly nuanced, not-quite-navy Blue Tit might topple that powerful tree with its featherweight Merino fibre.

4th: Knitting for Olive Heavy Merino in Poppy Blue v 5th: Knitting for Olive Fingering in Navy

Poppy Blue is definitely the brightest out of all of these competitors’ conferences, and some yarnistas are die-hard fans of it. But can it hold its own against a classic navy–and which of these Knitting for Olives bases will move to the next round?

Warm Colors

And the winner is: De Rerum Natura Gilliatt in Aubépine! You voted overwhelmingly for this deep red over the more muted wine color of Knitting for Olive Heavy Merino in Bordeaux. Next week, we will wrap up fibre frenzy with our final four and championship to crown your favorite yarn!

Round 3 (April 8)

In the battle of the Bordeaux, and the winner was clear: Knitting for Olive Heavy Merino in Bordeaux crushed its soft, fuzzy compatriot, Knitting for Olive Soft Silk Mohair in Bordeaux!  In the other match, De Rerum Natura Gilliatt in Aubépine beat Knitting for Olive Merino Fingering in Red Current for what will be a weighty final match in the Warm Colors conference!

Round 2 (April 7)

The vivacious Knitting for Olive Merino Fingering in Red Current trounced KFO Soft Silk Mohair in Pomegranate. It’ll go up against the heavier weight De Rerum Natura Gilliatt in Aubépine, who beat our not-so-secret personal favorite, Spincycle Dream State Royal Mile.

Knitting for Olive Heavy in Bordeaux came out ahead after a tough fight with Knitting for Olive Soft Silk Mohair in Pink Daises. Knitting for Olive Soft Silk Mohair in Bordeaux proved more popular than its sibling shade, Knitting for Olive Soft Silk Mohair in Red Currant. This means that there’s going to be a battle of the Bordeux in our next round!

Round 1 (April 6)

Top seed: Knitting for Olive Soft Silk Mohair in Bordeaux v 8th seed: Knitting for Olive Soft Silk Mohair in Red Currant

Things might get a little hairy in this battle of the Soft Silk Mohair reds: will you choose the deep wine shade of Bordeaux or the unstoppable Red Current for your choice of fuzzy goodness?

2nd: Knitting for Olive Heavy Merino in Bordeaux v 7th: Knitting for Olive Soft Silk Mohair in Pink Daisies

Some yarnistas insist that neons are neutrals, and Pink Daisies, a fuzzy hot pink best-seller, suggests some of you agree! But, can it topple the deep autumnal hue of the worsted-weight Bordeaux that’s perfect for just about any project in your queue?

3rd: Knitting for Olive Merino Fingering in Red Currant v 6th: Knitting for Olive Soft Silk Mohair in Pomegranate

Another bright versus neutrals, we’ve got the fingering weight version of this statement red against the subtle, slightly oranged-toned Mohair. We’ve definitely seen them paired together for depth and halo, but we’re interested to see who comes out on top.

4th: De Rerum Natura Gilliatt in Aubepine v 5th: Spincycle Dream State in Royal Mile

This is the one we couldn’t have predicted: De Rerum Natura Gilliatt in Aubepine is a jewel-toned, burgundy powerhouse. But the true outlier in this challenge, Spincycle Dream State in Royal Mile represents the strong and determined small business ethic of your favorite local yarn store! Will you choose the multicolored teal, orange, and brown color-changing yarn from our fellow woman-owned small business in Seattle, or the classic neutral red in our most popular overall yarn?

Methodology

Our very, very official and scientific methods for a fair competition involved dividing the yarns into four main color groups: Lighter Neutrals, Darker Neutrals, Cool Colors, and Warm Colors. We divided by color—not by yarn weight, fibre content, brand, or other criteria, because it made the most sense to us.
