Equinox Indie Dyer Spotlight

The yarn world is abundant with hand dyed yarns and we admittedly want them all! In an effort to support multiple indie dyers and bring a diversity of color pallets, yarn bases and fiber contents to our community, we're hosting 2 Indie Dyer Spotlights per year that launch on the Spring and Fall Equinoxes. 

BECOME A MEMBER ($10/month) and be the first to shop the spotlight before we open to the public!

March 20, 2026 ~ Kim Dyes Yarn

'Kim loves color and all of the ways colors blend and contrast with each other. This love of painting color onto fibers is a passion. As a lifelong knitter, Kim knows the quality of the fibers, the yarn composition and structure, the way yarn is dyed make a difference in the pleasure you experience while working with yarn and the quality of the finished project.

More recently, Kim has learned to spin fibers into yarn with a spinning wheel and a drop spindle to ensure that the fibers dyed at Kim Dyes Yarn are what hand spinners desire in hand dyed fibers. Spinning has become a meditative way for Kim to pass time which feeds both visual and textural senses.

To help keep the work of dyeing from becoming banal, new colorways and dyeing techniques are always being crafted. Kim has been dyeing yarn for over thirteen years. 

When not dyeing or working with fiber, Kim is reading, baking, cooking new recipes, working on the garden and doting on her cat- Mushu, and her dog- Duncan. Kim shares a life with her husband and their grown children. 

Inspiration comes from nature, books, music, and art.'
