I've always wanted to knit an item then dip dye it but I held back because who wants to knit an entire piece using undyed yarn. So when I bought a 🧦 knitting machine, I knew I would finally be able to try this idea that had been brewing in my head for years. The results are exactly what I imagined!

I have been feeling like a good crochet project lately and I dove right into this linen stitch chevron blanket. I pulled all my blue partial skeins plus a variety of colors that look good with them and I'm randomly rotating them throughout this blanket. #crochet

The 12th Man - Seattle Seahawks 🏈 Ooohh Seattle! Another city that I've had the pleasure to call home for 8 years. My oldest was born there and the Seahawks won the Superbowl that year - 2014. Knit 🧦 Available at MakerWool.com #knitsky

Lambeau Leap - Green Bay Packers 🏈 Growing up in Wisconsin means rooting for the Packers is in my blood. They are doing pretty well this year but do they have what it takes to make it to the big game?? Show your support with Packer 🧦 🧶 Available at MakerWool.com

The Winter Sage Hat is now available. I was able to test knit this beautiful pattern for Briana Arlene. A perfect gift knit (like a teacher!!) I knit it using MakerWool DK. #knitsky 🧦

20 Days Until Christmas and the cats will have a knit stocking this year!! They've both already slept on it so I take that as their approval. I used Briana Arlene's Cat Hat pattern chart and adjusted to make it a stocking. I think you could do the same idea for a sport weight 🧦

WIP Wednesday - Work In Progress Snow started falling today and it's pushing me to get the last bit knit on this sweater so I can wear it. Pattern: Kip Sweater by Rebecca Clow Yarn: Woolberry Sport in Equinox #knitsky

Black Friday Week Sale starts now! These yarn skeins are high-quality studio overruns from wholesale and online orders. Some are seconds that didn't turn out as our standard colorway. Many are one-of-a-kind or limited extras—once they're gone, they're gone. #knitsky

Color Development skeins are true one-of-a-kinds (or two depending). They are skeins that I was testing color combos, striping patterns and how colors play together. They'll still be beautiful self-striping skeins 🧦 but will be unique from everyone else's! Once a color is gone, it's gone. #knitsky

Newest pair of 🧦 are off the needles! I cast these on over a year ago but then got distracted by a LOT of samples. It was wonderful to get back to them. Yarn is dyed by Full Moon Fibres. You don't appreciate this colorway until you knit it and see all the pops of colors. #knitsky

Play It Up With Color - Another new self-striping colorway available in the shop. I created this colorway for the Salida Fiber Festival and it was based on their playground. What a unique idea for color inspo! I love how it turned out and wanted to share! 🧶 🧦 #knitsky

WIP Wednesday 🧦 I’ve been splitting my knitting time between two fun projects. First up is Bright Axis by @tellybeanknits.bsky.social, knit in my self-striping Feline colorway. 🐾 The second sneak peek is a brand-new colorway! For now I’m only showing it in black + white (gotta keep some mystery)

🍓🫐 Wild Berry! 🫐🍓 This sweet new colorway stripes in playful shades of pinks and purples. The sample is knit as a tiny pair of baby leggings, and I can’t get over how adorable they turned out. Self-striping yarn isn’t just for socks! 🧦 Available at MakerWool.com #knitsky

🌍 The Earth colorway, all knit up! 🌍 I couldn’t wait to share how this one looks on a pair of socks 🧦. Stripes of deep blues and fresh greens flow together. There’s something extra magical about seeing self-striping yarn transform row by row. Available at MakerWool.com #selfstripingyarn #knitsky

🍇 Wild Berry 🍇 The next new self-striping yarns arriving this Saturday is a juicy mix of purples and pinks — like a handful of ripe berries fresh from the bramble. This 6-color stripe shifts from deep plum to bright raspberry, with lighter berry tones in between. Knit 🧦 #knitsky #selfstripingyarn

Meet Earth 🌎 — a mix of blue and green stripes, inspired by nature’s most peaceful palette. 🧦 This is just the first of my new self-striping colorways landing at MakerWool.com this Saturday! Stay tuned for the next few days as I share the rest of the collection. #knitsky #selfstripingyarn knit

Another new cast on! 🎉 Again it’s not socks 🧦—I've start knitting a Musselburgh Hat using one of my self-striping yarns in a coming soon colorway. 🧶 Can't wait to show you more as it grows! #knitsky #wipwednesday #selfstripingyarn

This shawl was the perfect travel project for our recent trip. I used self-striping 🧶 so it was fun to watch the stripes develop. Such a great project to use self-striping yarn that isn't socks 🧦 Pattern: Shima Shawl by Beatrice Mase Yarn: Ode to Summer by MakerWool #knitsky #selfstripingyarn

When my son saw this coming soon colorway 🧶, he claimed it for his own socks 🧦. So of course I cast it in immediately. Love how it's knitting up! #knitsky #selfstripingyarn

New colors coming soon! It's hard to keep up with samples so they'll be ready in a few weeks but I love seeing how all the colorways knit up. A few of these colors will be made into items that are NOT socks 🧦 Can you guess what they could be?! #knitsky #selfstriping #yarn

☀️ Ode to Summer - This self-striping yarn features even stripes of green, pink, maroon, and cream, coming together in a palette that feels fresh like a summer morning. Shown here on a shawl, you can see how beautifully it knits up—perfect for lightweight wraps or cheerful socks. 🧦
