Humane and Conscientious Luxury
Hi! I'm Becky and my goal is to provide you with spectacular hand knits, yarns, and fibers. I set about this goal in three important ways:
1. My yarns and fibers come from humanely treated animals. I've dedicated my life not only to art, but also to animal welfare. I have a BS in Wildlife Biology and spent more than a decade rescuing and protecting animals, and teaching the public how to be better stewards of both wild and domestic life. And now it is of utmost importance to me that the wool I offer is from sheep that are treated humanely. So I seek out yarns and fibers that are certified organic and/or certified humanely raised, or, better yet, are from farms that are local to me. When I support small, local farms I have the wonderful opportunity to get to know the shepherds and the sheep, and judge for myself how well the animals are cared for.
2. My yarns and fibers are the highest quality available. I carefully select bases that are fabulously millspun, or expertly handspun on my beautiful hand-crafted spinning wheel. I dye with fiber-reactive Sabraset dyes, which are exceptionally light- and wash-fast. My dyes are non-toxic and I set them with citric acid. While some variations are an inherent aspect of hand dyed yarns, I make sure to apply the dye the same way for every skein in a dyelot, so you can count on consistency in your skeins. I've been knitting for over 35 years and all of the creations I sell are my own design. As far as the artistic application of color is concerned, it's my hope that the beauty of my hand knits,
yarn and fibers can speak for itself :)
3. Serving you is my ultimate goal. Aside from working every day to create the most amazing products I can, I also spend a lot of time dreaming up new ways to serve you better. I try my best to create photos that are accurate representations of my products, but since monitors vary, I always include a written description of the colors I've used. If you're unhappy with your order in any way, send me a message and we can work together to resolve the issue. I respond quickly, yet thoughtfully, to my messages, and take my responsibilities as a small business owner very seriously.
Warmly,
Becky Robbins
