We are crafters, knitters, crocheters, spinners, weavers and hand dyers (but not actual trained scientists). Most importantly we are two friends who love yarn and have always been drawn to all of the beautiful hand-painted yarns. In the summer of 2014 we decided to try dyeing our own yarn. With ugly crock-pots found at Goodwill lining a table outside it looked like we were hosting the world’s craziest chili cook-off. Decked out in plastic aprons, heat-proof gloves and respirators, we looked like mad scientists. But most importantly: once we started mixing dye and creating our own colors and color combinations, we FELT like mad scientists. And thus, NanoStitch Lab was born. We find inspiration for our colorways in all aspects of science: astronomy, biology, chemistry, geology and more. We dye colors that inspire us. We dye colors that we want to knit or crochet. We dye colors that we love and we hope you do too.
