Yarn mountain 🧶 🏔️ and I are getting ready for the Fergus Fibre Festival on May 31st! Located in beautiful downtown Fergus, ON, Canada, this rain or shine ‘street festival’ style fibre fair is an annual favourite. #ontariofibrefair🇨🇦 #bskyknits #fergusfibrefestival #fibrefair🇨🇦 #handdyedincanada🇨🇦

Ohhhh man. With 7 nieces and nephews (3 of whom were born within 10 months of each other) I’ve done LOTS of knitting for babies. Kicking off #showmeyourknits baby knits week with my favourite - a stop motion video of this chick pattern by Alan Dart 🧶 #bskyknits #knitting #knitter #knittersofbluesky

Needed yarn therapy today. Luckily, the Hamilton Fibre Market (on today in #hamont till 4pm at The Cotton Factory) saved me, specifically Tully's Yarn. I needed Suri Silk to hold with worsted-weight something for a vest, and look what I got. Dyed with snow. !!!!!!!!! Love it. (www.tullysyarn.com) 🧶

#showmeyourknits theme this week is green so….. show me your frogs! 🐸 😂 🧶 This one was made by a knitter at the local print shop that makes my labels - I wish she was here so I could tag her! #knitsky #bskyknits #knitfrog #knit #yarn #knitter #micro #knitting #dotpebblesknits

Showing off a couple chonk-a-donks for #showmeyourknits chonky week. These hats are the #saratogabeanie and the #madisonbeanie 🌈 🧶 #knitsky #bskyknits #knitting #knit #knittersofbluesky #yarn #handdyedyarn

Just me scurrying inside for the Hamilton Fibre Forge last year 🧶 This year’s event is just under 4 weeks away! Join us in Hamilton, Ontario 🇨🇦 Sweater is the #halibutsweater #showmeyourknits #bskyknits #knitting #fibrefest #knitter #knit #yarn #handdyedyarn #ontariofibrefair🇨🇦 #knittersofbluesky

I missed #showmeyourknits wips week due to work drama so I’m squeaking one in just as lace week starts. This is a neon aran speckle (graffiti) held with an undyed alpaca boucle I’m trying out 🦙 🧶 #knitting #bskyknits #knittersofbluesky #knit #yarn #handdyedyarn

Love is the theme for #showmeyourknits this week ❤️🤍🩷 - this is the Texture and Twist shawl (in progress!) by Robbie Laughlin 🧶🧣Robbie is a @looseendsproject.bsky.social finisher and tied in a wonderful fundraiser for the release of this pattern 😍 😊 (yarn by me) #knitsky #knitting #knit #bskyknits

Just some yarn on a chair bringing me some light 🕯️ during challenging personal times 🌈 🧶 Knitting might not fix things but it sure helps me regulate, and balances my mental health! 💪 #yarnsky #knitsky #knit #knitting #knittersofbluesky #handdyedincanada🇨🇦 #bskyknit

I've realized that I'm a bit late for the #showmeyourknits prompt for stripes this week -- which is silly, because the design I'm wearing *in my profile pic* is one of my own stripe designs! knitty.com/ISSUEdf23/PA... is free at @knittymag.bsky.social and it's squishy brioche, easier than it looks.

It’s #showmeyourknits stripes week, and I have this Missoni inspired scarf made with self-striping yarn by Canadian dyers Timber Yarns 🧶🧣 🇨🇦 #knitsky #knittersofbluesky #Knit #knitting #yarnsky #bskyknits #wip🧶 #handdyedincanada🇨🇦

Hi friends! Just a reminder that we exclusively source all of our yarn, tools, notions and accessories from within Canada. By shopping with us, you’re supporting a whole network of small Canadian businesses who share our passion for crafting, inclusivity, and local love. 💖 🧶 🇨🇦

Landmade is back… March 14 and 15 at The Image Centre in Toronto. This is a collaboration with Fashion@The Creative School- it’s a 2 day even with speakers, skills building, interactive demos and SO MANY ONTARIO FIBRE FARMS. If you are in Southern Ontario then come by- it’s free to get in!! 🧶

I have feeds for Canadian brick and mortar yarn stores, pattern designers, and hand dyers/fibre farmers for the yarn and fibre community to easily find us 🇨🇦 The feeds will be updated and built out as more of our community joins. Anyone of that ilk can reach out to get added 🇨🇦🧶💪 #handdyedincanada🇨🇦

Ok so don’t tell the other app, I don’t want to get in trouble with my buddies there, but I felt a lot more “talked at” than “talked with” over there. Here I can follow everyone back and build a community (and still see interest-posts via feeds), and we’re all “talking with” each other 🧶 #knitsky

Purple knit frog wants to wish you a happy weekend, while offering you their prized possession, a pumpkin 🎃 🧶 It’s cold out there, Frog. Bundle up!🧣 🧤 🧦 Pattern: Frog by #dotpebblesknits Frog kit: Tullys yarn #knitsky #knittersofbluesky #feltsky #toyknitting #Knit #knitting #knitfrog #knitted

I’m VERY experimental with dyeing and last year I spent MUCH time hand painting some skeins. They went to their new homes and I’ve been waiting FOREVER to see them. One morning BOOM 💥 Someone made socks 🧶🧦 They turned better that I could have hoped for 🥹 #knit #knitsky #yarnsky #handdyedincanada🇨🇦

The awesome @tullysyarn.bsky.social has set up 2 Canadian feeds to follow! Click 'more feeds' on the right side to search and add them. If you are a dyer or LYS, you can reach out to Tully to be added. Hand-dyed in Canada 🇨🇦🧶 🇨🇦Local Yarn Stores 🇨🇦🧶

This #maker isn’t here yet so I can’t tag her, but Cathy of Birds of a Felter (you can find her on the other platform 📸) is the most talented felter I’ve ever met. This “auntie fox” and her kit were created to represent my relationship with my nieces and nephews. #feltsky #felting #heirloom

Some brushed baby suri alpaca / silk handdyed yarn 🧶 for the upcoming festival season. The first market for me will be in Hamilton, Ontario on March 23, 2025! Suri is awesome for knitting 🧤🧣🧦 #handdyedincanada🇨🇦 #✋🧶showandtell #knitsky #yarnsky #knittersofbluesky #ontariofibrefair🇨🇦 #fibrefair🇨🇦

Words to live by ❤️

#showmeyourknits has changed over to #cableknitting ! This #witchsbrewcowl by #tellybeanknits is the only pattern I’ve done incorporating “faux” cables (no cable needle needed) so I’ll be pretty quiet over there this week 😂 🧶 #handdyedincanada🇨🇦 #✋🧶showandtell #knitsky #yarnsky #knittersofbluesky

Started a feed for #canadianhandyers 🧶 people say they never find us. Use #handyedincanada🇨🇦 to show up in that feed. Let’s see that #canadianyarn ! #fibrefarmers ,you too! Disclaimer: I’m the only post there right now as I wait for more dyers to join up. #knitsky #knittersofbluesky #yarnsky #knit

Just some pretty yarn #handdyedincanada🇨🇦

Soooo…. on the “other” app I thought our community was pretty small, I was being exposed to such a small sub-set. Blown away by the talented #knitters , #crocheters, #farmers and other #textileartists over here. I can’t get enough. Keep making yourself known so I can follow you. #knitsky 🧶🧦 #knit

Tired of staring at my #knits yet? This is me, between hair colors, awkwardly modeling the #nofrillssweater by #petiteknit 🧶 . There’s a bunch of snow back there right now ( #canadianknitters know 😂), this was last year #showmeyourknits #handknitsweater #knit #knitting #handdyedyarn

A real retina-burner, this is the #poppytee by #petiteknit (peep my ravelry if you want the details). Yarn by me. Cowl is the #shortcutcowl by #tellybeanknits (yarn also by me! 🧶 ) #showmeyourknits #handknitsweater #knitsky #knittersofbluesky #canadianknitters #Knit 🧶

It’s still #handknitsweater week for #showmeyourknits and I could definitely fill the week 😂 This sweater is the #cozyclassicraglan by Jessie Maed using my own “nebula” yarn 🧶 #knitsky #knittersofbluesky #canadianknitters #Knit #knitting #ontarioknitters #knittersofravelry #knittersofcanada

A pattern for troubled times: Row 1: put your phone down Row 2: pick up your hobby supplies Row 3: make something for at least an hour Row 4: take a photo of your make Row 5: share that photo to your timeline (with alt text) Row 6: like others' makes. Rep rows 1-6 until time for tea.

I hear it’s #handknitsweater week for #showmeyourknits ! This is the #halibutsweater by Caitlin Hunter. I used three colours (cuz I always try and fit more in 😆) #knitsky #knittersofbluesky

Not a lot of snow for snow dyeing so far, so here’s a pic from last year while we wait… ❄️ #canadianknitters #Knit #knitting #torontoknitters #ontarioknitters #knitters #knittersofravelry #knittersofcanada #knitted #canadianknitter #snowdyedyarn #knittersofontario #handdyedyarn #handdyedyarncanada

Some bright #handdyedyarn on a cold day 🥶 Going to make an effort to post over here! Are hashtags still a thing? Maybe if I use them the #canadianknitters will find me #canadiancrocheters #Knit #knitting #torontoknitters #ontarioknitters #knitters #knittersofravelry
