One of my favorite things to do is imagine every color combination possible. No matter what colors you choose, and I really mean this, this pattern is exquisite in all of them.

My shop is a bit light at the moment but you can still find something perfect for that portable, summer project. Then come fall you’ll have the prettiest feet!!!

PATTERN DISCOUNT CODES: Get the ENTIRE collection for ONLY $8 with code “GARDEN” or pick and choose your favorites and get 60% OFF with code “SOS2.”  Both offers valid through Aug 2nd.

These are the Avalon Socks. There’s a Ravelry link to the pattern and a website link to the yarn in my bio!

The world is more interesting than it first appears. Come closer.

If you've ever toyed with the idea of planting a natural dye garden, there's your sign from the universe.

It's really pretty simple: start small. I bought my seeds from Grand Prismatic Seed. They have everything to get started.

Happy gardening.

That was a perfect day!!! Lis , Makenzie and I had to check out the new Ritual Dyes studio and shop on Belmont in SE Portland.

You can watch yarn being dyed while you shop!!! It’s so nicely done. It’s right next door to some fabulous eateries and bars. You all have to make a day of it!!!

Last November at Sacred Sheep, something special happened.

in Portland, OR.

walked into my booth—we hugged, caught up (not our first time meeting), and she started looking at the color combinations on display.

Then it happened.

Her eyes locked in. Total focus.

She said, “I have an idea for a beginner-friendly colorwork sweater.”

Right there, in the middle of the booth, surrounded by other fiber people, we started pulling colors together. It was loud, busy, and a little chaotic. It was completely electric.
If you’ve ever been shoulder-to-shoulder at a fiber festival, you know that feeling.
 That kind of creative energy is rare. It buzzes.

Then she went back to Colorado and did her thing.
And one day, a full bank of photos landed in my inbox.

All three pieces are stunning. Even better, they speak to each other!

One of my favorite details: she used the leftover yardage to create two sister pieces, a hat & a cowl, flipping the color dominance completely. Same yarn, same technique, but a totally different visual story.

Nothing wasted.
 Everything is intentional, just like itself.

That kind of design takes planning. And math. And vision.

And it all started in a crowded booth, with a spark.

Guess what? I have help in the dye studio now.
Well… not NOW now. Lis of has actually been helping me since October. If you stopped by my booth at Sacred Sheep, you probably met her and saw some of her beautiful knitwear designs in person.

Last summer, I put out a call for studio help and was completely blown away by the response. So many of you are curious about natural dyeing and eager to learn. It made choosing incredibly hard. But Lis came in with an amazing mix of talents that felt like a perfect fit.

She’s worked in the yarn industry for years as a coordinator, manager, designer, and stylist. A true creative triple threat. And as if that weren’t enough, she’s also a natural dyer herself. She understands the slow magic and the science.

Please give the warmest welcome to the calmest, most grounded, quietly-anticipates-what-I-need-before-I-even-say-it human, Lis Smith.

I am so thrilled to add her to Wool & Palette. She’s helping keep this place humming along and making sure the saturated, consistent colors you love keep flowing out of the studio.

Her designs have been published in numerous magazines and books. And most recently, she is this year’s RCYC Mystery Knit Along designer. Casual. No big deal. 😉

Welcome, Lis. I am so thrilled to have you on board!

The Path to the Perfect Color
 This weekend at Sacred Sheep, I’m unveiling my newest shade — Auburn.

Developing this color was its own chemistry journey: thirteen samples, three experiments, and countless tests of time, temperature, and pH. The result is a warm, balanced hue that sits between red and brown — vibrant, earthy, and deeply layered.

You’ll be able to see the full color story in person at my booth, alongside the finished yarn. Every purchase comes with a free sample of Unicorn Fibre Rinse — a pH-balanced wool wash that helps protect naturally dyed colors.

I’ll be in Booth 18, joined by Lis Smith of . Come say hello, see the Auburn display, and find your next project.
