Mod Yarns...Hand Dyed in Central California

I'm delighted to expand the collection of hand dyed yarns with the addition of Mod Yarns.

Mod Yarns is a fun and funky yarn company specializing in hand-dyed yarns based in Fresno, California. They offer a unique yarn selection.

Lil in the Middle is a fabulous Superwash Merino think and thin yarn. It's fun for your next weaving or stitching project.

Loopy de Loop is a lace weight boucle, perfect by itself or held with another yarn. Add a little loopiness to your next project!

Straight Up DK is 100% superwash merino DK yarn and nothing else. I've set some aside for my next project, the Pacific Grove Top.

Lil in the Middle is a fabulous bulky weight think and thin yarn.

My favorite stitch stoppers from Fox & Pine are back including some new designs.

Several boxes of Manos del Uruguay yarn arrived including Alegria, Alegria Grande, Franca, Maxima, and Milo. There are so many colors to choose from for all these yarns.
