#coffeedogyarn

We were hit pretty hard with the holidays, and then RustyCon, but we've still got some really great handknits and both hand-spun and hand-dyed yarns, with new ones being put up just as soon as we can put the finishing touches on them. 

Coffee Dog Yarn was born at the end of last year, when we realized that we were getting a LOT of requests for the cool things that we do. We thought about this for quite awhile. "What could be better than creating wonderful fiber art (because we love doing it and we're gonna do it anyway) to share with our families, community, and people everywhere around the U.S. and the world? 

Colleen's still working on amazing new colorways for handpainting and pot-dyeing beautiful yarns--everything from lace-weight and fingering to bulkier ones perfect for warm winter beanies. Regan has found a new passion in needle felting, and has created some gorgeous and fun creations as well, like the Felted Faerie Hat featured here. In addition to this, she's been creating some really cool hand-spun yarns that would be perfect in one of your special knit, crocheted, or woven creations. 

We just added Ravenclaw to the "Houses of Hogwarts" scarf collection! Slytherin is now in the works, and eventually we'll have Gryffindor ready to add. Check these out! They're super plush and soft, and so very full of 100% Peruvian wool warmth!

In the fields and woods around our lush, river-bottom farm, there's a lot of magic. Sometimes it is as overt and obvious as the miracles of life away from town--a blooming rose or a deep purple plum, or perhaps the "woosh" of a raven's wings just overhead. Other times, it's a bit more fleeting--a flit of light here, the twinkling of bells there among the leaves of the bamboo. It's not at all uncommon to find those tell-tale rings of mushrooms out in the walnut grove, or hear the laughter of pixies from deep within the fog rolling off the river.

The presence of the Fae folk is a part of why we chose our home and way of life, and we invite them along on all our adventures. Naturally, they love all things bright, cheerful, and cozy. In honor of them, we bring to you our new Felted Faerie Hat. I'll tell you something certain: there is an infinite amount of love and magic in each and every stitch of this bright, warm, cheerful earflap hat. From it's curly ties below to it's corkscrew top, the flowers, stars, and moon between will brighten your most enchanted of moments.

This hat will fit most teens and average adult noggins, and is PERFECT for those spring and summer Faerie festivals as well as the chilly outings you'll enjoy in cooler months. This is a one-of-a-kind creation, and this is the only one, so get it right away!

Waves crest white against the layered crystal blues of the Agean; the sky deepens on the horizon as night begins to approach. Soon all will be black--in Sappho's own words, "Upon the eyes, night's dark slumber poured down." Passion for poetry, art, music, and love are the denizens of this enchanted bedtime; will you sleep? We think not, because you'll be creating something beautiful and magical of your own from this stunning 440 yard skein of hand-dyed fingering weight yarn!
