Theinsightfulknitter’s Yarns

Here is a version of Brickwork knit in a hand-dyed yarn by theinsightfulknitter on etsy.com. And there's more...

Jan works with a luscious blend of alpaca and merino which adapts well to many of my designs.

This irresistible combination makes for yarn with a wonderful feel. She dyes the yarn in small batches, choosing the colours which please the most. They range from bold brights to subtle hues:

Something for different tastes and different moods.

Here Jan has worked Manon from the Opera Season Collection in a romantic range of blues, mauves, and purples.

I could also see her yarns lighting up many of my other designs. Like the At the Market shawl, Tidal Streams, or Lake of the Woods.
