SOMEONE TOLD ME ONCE...

A million years ago, when I was early in my days of corporate marketing, that every professional should be able to explain what they do, and why it’s special, in the time it would take to ride an elevator. So, here goes :)

We dye gradient yarn, that’s the practical upshot of it. We hand-paint it a yard at a time using a super secret method that we invented. This allows us to create smooth fades on smooth yarns, and also to vary greatly our bases and yardages, because we don’t rely on pre-knitted blanks.

Generally, our colours have been based off our work as photographers, though we do break from that mold once in a while ;)

We offer 5 main yardages, ranging from 300 to 1600 yards. This flexibility means it’s one ball to one shawl, with no need to stripe in skeins. We also craft gradient sweater kits and accessories.

Too long? Has our stop passed? Cool, let the images speak for themselves.

Land Acknowledgment for the City of Hamilton:

The City of Hamilton is situated upon the traditional territories of the Erie, Neutral, Huron-Wendat, Haudenosaunee and Mississaugas. This land is covered by the Dish With One Spoon Wampum Belt Covenant, which was an agreement between the Haudenosaunee and Anishinaabek to share and care for the resources around the Great Lakes. We further acknowledge that this land is covered by the Between the Lakes Purchase, 1792, between the Crown and the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation.

Today, the city of Hamilton is home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island (North America) and we recognize that we must do more to learn about the rich history of this land so that we can better understand our roles as residents, neighbours, partners, and caretakers.
