Organized chaos.
The chaos that comes before and alongside me getting organized.

Twisting skeins
Labeling
Taking inventory
Packing

Aaaaaaaaaand...my skein twister is dying a slow death. She has served me well in these past 5 years but now my fingers and shoulders are yelling at me in pain by having to twist by hand.

5 days and a wakeup until you guys can join us at the Boston Fiber Festival 2026.

🔥✨ MEET WHY NOT? ✨🔥

This month's colorway is asking one question: why NOT go bold? Blazing orange, gold, and rust collide with a deep purple-navy that sneaks in like it's got secrets — and it's all dyed on our brand-new base, Sassy Sparkle (90% superwash merino, 10% lurex), so every strand catches the light like it's got somewhere important to be. ✨

This is fall in yarn form, and she is NOT being subtle about it. 🍂

Available now at sassyblackyarns.com — go on, add "just one more" skein to your stash. Why not?
