Showing off my Halloween yarn advents that I am creating this year! Available in 4 yarn bases, each calendar includes yarn and spooky extras. Full advents will also include a delightful crafting gift! Each colorway will have a little card with the Samhain lore that inspired it. Hope you like them!11mo ⋅ fineleaffibres ⋅ r/YarnAddicts
I used all the great advice here and started knitting yarn samples and expanded my yarn base range! I now stock Merino/Baby Alpaca, Superwash Merino and Donegal Tweed in DK outside of my usual sock range and BFL. Is there any other yarn base that you would advise to stock?3yr ⋅ fineleaffibres ⋅ r/YarnAddicts
One of my favourite colourways in action! Always worried how yarn speckles will appear in cables but I think this one works!3yr ⋅ fineleaffibres ⋅ r/knitting
My latest socks that I made in 2 days, knitting with DK yarn goes so fast! I find strong heel is the best for TAAT, though would be interested in the alternatives! I love me some new interesting heel!1yr ⋅ fineleaffibres ⋅ r/knitting

Wanted to thank u/madscik and u/kittenparadeforever for all the advice in my previous post! I successfully dyed merino/baby alpaca yarn, it took more pre-washing, more acid and more time but I love the results!3yr ⋅ fineleaffibres ⋅ r/dyeing

What do you think of the chainette yarn? This is one of my most favourite yarn bases to dye and to knit with, it feels like a plump cloud! Curious to know what you think!3yr ⋅ fineleaffibres ⋅ r/knitting
Pre-orders for my Halloween yarn boxes are live! This year I decided to do the mystery boxes with various quantities of yarn to make a full scale project instead of doing the advent calendars with the minis. Tell me what you think of this idea, would love any feedback!2yr ⋅ fineleaffibres ⋅ r/YarnAddicts
What’s a secret in yarn pooling? Knitting these socks with the yarn that I dyed and I love this effect of fading gold, but I don’t want it to cross all the way. Should I wrap it on the other side if it gets too long?3yr ⋅ fineleaffibres ⋅ r/knitting
