Have you fallen in love with color-shifting yarns that transition from one hue to the next as you knit? Learn to make the most of these one of-a-kind skeins—and go behind the scenes of a small farm mill that crafts each one by hand.
Lisa Westra has learned to celebrate what she can’t control.
Over her years producing yarn on the farm, she has learned how to fine-tune her mill equipment, and she tweaks each machine as she spins and plies. But when it comes to the colorways of her signature yarn, she embraces the random chance that matches up the colors on two different plies.
“None of these are completely identical. They are repeatable, but not identical . . . They’re random in a system, in a colorway.”
The randomness of Feederbrook’s signature Entropy line is the source of the yarn’s one-of-a-kind spark, which knitters line up to purchase from their booth at fiber festivals. What’s the secret to a booth that can’t be missed? In this episode, Lisa also gives a behind-the-scenes look at her festival preparations.
