Northwest Indy Dyers - Hand Dyed Yarn by Local Artists

 We love our Northwest Indy Dyers here at The Nook. The Nook stocks a variety of local yarn dyer's yarns and love to support their small businesses and creative genius! We love independent dyers so much, that we also have our own line of yarn, dyed by Esther!

Every single fiber artist and indy dyer has a different style. Each has their own perspective on color. They also have their own favorite bases to work with, and their own favorite colors.

Some artists choose to use more muted tones. On the other hand, some love the bold and vibrant. Multiple techniques and yarn types are used by the various dyers we carry; speckles, and tonal, solids and variegated, we have them all here. It is a treat to see them all walk through the door, when we make an order.

Northwest Indy Dyers dye all yarn weights: lace to bulky.  The Hook and Needle Nook carries these unique yarns and we can even take custom orders.  If you fall in love with a certain color, but need it in another base, many of our local dyers can oblige. Try one of these beautiful hand-dyed yarns produce by some very talented women.

Be sure to check out the links to their shops in the picture descriptions. They have more colorways and bases listed there. We have a bit in shop, but we can always ask the dyers for special orders.
