Yarn Colorway Stories

Welcome to Yarn Colorway Stories, a series of handmade, hand dyed yarns inspired by the history, landscapes, and people of West Virginia. Each story brings a unique yarn colorway to life, weaving together an inspirational story behind its hues, the legacies that shaped it, and the creative spirit of Appalachian communities.

Through these tales, every skein tells a story—not just of color, but of a place and its history—whether it’s a coal town in McDowell County, the mountains at sunrise, or the traditions of local families who inspired our work. Each yarn in this series is more than fiber; it’s a tribute to resilience, creativity, and the beauty of everyday life in West Virginia.

Explore the stories below to see the inspiration behind each colorway, learn about the people and places that influenced them, and find ideas for your next knitting or crochet project. Each story links to a blog post where you can discover the color’s backstory and the meaning woven into every skein.
