Anaiah, Nia, Ninni. If you see this name when you purchased from Yarn Nerds it’s because it’s inspired by Anaiah. Today she graduates 8th grade with honors. I am so proud of her. Yarn Nerds started with my 3 daughters and I doing all types of crafts. We embarked on dyeing yarn for the first time together and it was wonderful.

Anaiah is a founding member of Yarn Nerds and she also is the one that twist all your beautiful hanks of yarn.

What is your thinking about super bulky/chunky yarn? I am going to work on a sample using this yarn so you can see the possibilities.
