How abt a sneak peek at October's #yarnclub colorway? Inspired by a 13thc Russian depiction of a prince who was summoned before a Mongol khan. A little bit of spooky fire in this one. More on this soon, but do join us for lots of fun. 🧶 #yarnsky #indieyarndyer #medievalsky #yarnaddict #yarnlove

What meal are you planning for Sept 24?

Everyone keep this a secret bc it's a Xmas present but look at this stunning hat and scarf made by the talented @atomicmassunit.bsky.social Also I hope this is my secret Xmas present bc I want it. 🧶 #yarnsky #showmeyourknits #yarnaddict #knitsky

Folks, you can't report the United States to its manager. There's no superhero coming to save us. We don't need one giant act of heroism. We need millions of small acts of solidarity. Help one person in your community for nothing in return. Then, do it again. And again. That's the revolution.

I don't know what this crafter has planned for these skeins but they are bound to make some gorgeous projects. In #cashsock & a merino blend. I'm excited to see what delightful things are made. L-R: Aubergine-Teal Admiration, Maiden of the Violet Sky, & Thebans. 🧶 #yarnlover #yarnsky #indieyarndyer

Something beautiful for your TLs. A little yarn goes a long way. This was a skein from the monthly yarn club colors in DK inspired by a gorgeous woman of color. Her outfit was used as a muse for a wintery colorway. And look at this fab lace shawlette. 😍 🧶 #showmeyourknits #knitsky #yarnsky

#GlobalStrikeForGaza every Thursday ✊🏽 No business as usual until everyone is free. 🧵 #RepublicOfYarnia #indieyarndyersofIreland #craftivism #bipocinfiber #yarnlovers

Just me preparing some goodies for the Dublin Fiber Festival next month. Gonna make sure there is lots of stock from the #BookOfKells Collection. Shout out what other colorways are your faves. I've got you! 🧶 #indieyarnsellers #yarnsky #yarnlovers #yarnaddict

Final call for September's lovely Autumn colorway: Twilight Orchard. Inspired by an image of Balthazar in a gorgeous plum and sage robe and tunic with an orange turban, he def was ready for the new season. I can't wait to see what some of you make with this palette! 🧶 #yarnsky #yarnlove #yarnaddict

Aren't these shades of purple & pink minis gorgeous? This is a sneak peek of the colorway my elite team of knitters & crocheters are using to create a blanket project to raffle off for cancer research.🧶 Stay tuned for progress updates! #yarnsky #craftivism #yarnclub #indieyarndyer #showmeyourknits

I've finished and published my Crustacean Cushion pattern. As ever, I put a hidden quote on the reverse for visitors to discover. 🧶🦐 #knitting #knitsky #bskyknits #sealife #prawn #crab #seahorse www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib...

Made my 2nd CC cowl bc this is my new addiction/stress relief. Made w/ a merino/silk blend so it's extra snuggly. I used Friar's Earthen Grey & Elegant Eggshell. They work up beautifully together. Gave this to my Dad who is wiser than I will ever be, for chilly Fall evenings. 🧶 #showmeyourknits

Big up to the Global Strike. Do what you can and within your means to continue the global strike every Thursday. 🧶 #GlobalStrikeForGaza

Yesterday I wrote about how Turning Point put many of us on the Professor Watchlist What I didn't write about was the years of harassment from the right, including rape, deportation & death fantasies that played out in my messages, comments in the stories about me & voice mails. That’s his legacy.

Rest in peace to Tamir Rice. Strength and love to his family.

What's up everyone?

Sometimes collaborations just slay. I've been collabing w/ @greyowlknits.bsky.social & she's got a sneak peek of her dragon mitten pattern coming Oct 11. Really honored she used my yarn. There's LOTS of history in here. Dragons, revolutionaries & more. STAY TUNED!🧶 #yarnsky #showmeyourknits #knitsky

Who says crafting and fiber arts arent important to resistance and liberation? Also just joyful??? 🧶 #yarnsky #craftivism #crochet

I dunno what this Yarnian is going to do w/ these alpaca/silk skeins but they are glorious looking. The sheen! I am only assuming they are for one project but whomst knows?! L-R Zamor Satin Silver, Peacock Balthazar & Emerald Magi. All inspired by the attire of Black revolutionaries. 🧶 #yarnsky

Is the Bluesky app not working or is it just me?

I'm working on an Autumn commission with some early Fall colors. Aren't they gorgeous? 🧶 I'm turning these skeins into an fab ensemble, fingerless gloves, a hat, and a shawl for a wonderful Yarnian. #yarnsky #crochetsky

Rest in Power to this legendary Aggie 💛🕊️💙

It's not a woman. It's a stylized armored breastplate called a cuirass w/ a raised pectoral shape. Artists often exaggerated shapes for ornamentation. There is no other detail in there to suggest Balthazar is a woman. Headgear and earrings on males was normal. He's younger than the other magi.

Today's a global strike for Gaza!

Ok, I announced that we still ship to the US, but am on board if you don't buy from us on Thursdays. Blessings and solidarity to all you good folks. It's Thursday, so it's #GlobalStrikeForGaza

✨️ATTN: USA Yarnians✨️ We are still shipping to the US. Ireland doesn't really give a shit abt Trump's tariffs, so was pretty prepared for that menace. There will be adjustments & perhaps some delays in some cases but your yarn will reach you.🧶 1/6 #yarnsky #indieyarndyer #yarnlove #tariffs

Hi friends, I know, I know, it's been a while since I did a tutorial. This crochet tutorial is extra special & super simple bc these squares are being put together for a blanket created by yarn club subscribers (knitters/hookers) to support cancer research. Have fun with it! youtu.be/j4wJAWGAU00?...

*GASP* The talent. The pattern choice. The meticulous needle work. This is stunning. *bows to @atomicmassunit.bsky.social*

I’m tired in ways I can’t explain. Since the first day of this war, I’ve been running—between explosions, between grief, between survival and collapse. I’ve lost my home. I’ve lost friends. I’ve lost pieces of myself I’ll never get back I haven’t felt safe for a single moment GFM: gofund.me/f116bf44

Introducing September's #monthlyyarnclub colorway "Twilight Orchard". A first for Yarnian subscribers, this is a Yarn cake with gorgeous autumnal colors inspired by the robe, tunic and turban of a Black Magi in an Italian 16thc painting. 🧶 #yarnsky #yarnlove #yarnaddiction

This is fantastic news. 52 Palestinian students are arriving over the next couple of days to study in Ireland. Scholars can do a lot to try & get students out of Gaza to study. Write recommendation letters, strengthen their English (or other languages). Hold online classes www.rte.ie/news/ireland...

It's Thursday. That means #GlobalStrikeForGaza Lots of love to everyone who is using their voice in whatever capacity to support those in Palestine, Sudan, Congo, Haiti. ✊🏾

Behold. Cuteness. #showmeyourknits

Some recent orders from the #BookOfKells collection in a variety of bases and weights. Good taste, everyone! 🧶 #Indieyarndyer #yarnlove #yarnsky #medievalsky

Ok look, these are gorgeous socks to keep you motivated on a Tuesday. And the mini skein dyed at a workshop for the cuffs/toes make this so freaking cute. Keep bringing beauty into the world, everyone! 🧶

I wouldn't be a proper medievalist if I didn't do a medieval marginalia knitting project. I made this "Guardian Cowl" with Peacock Balthazar & Royal Ethiopian Pastels colorways. 🧶 #showmeyourknits #indieyarndyer #yarnsky #yarnlove #medievalsky

My friend Dr. Saber Alasmar is an ICU doctor in Gaza. His hospital was attacked by an Israeli airstrike today & many of his colleagues, patients & journalists were killed. Please watch the @aljazeera.com report below & in the next post. 1/3

Our final colorway in the #BookOfKells Collection Meet ✨Seraph of Kells✨ a colorway inspired by the radiant winged figure of St. Matthew in the Book of Kells (c. 800). The figure inspiring this colorway is a winged man, representing St. Matthew the Evangelist. 🧶 1/5 #yarnsky #medievalsky

We're looking forward to seeing a lot of people here on 9/7. Please help us spread the word.

Malcolm X warned us about ppl like this in a 1963 speech:

White liberals that use “resistance” in hashtags and bios are hypocrites. They ignore true resistance and are actually quite comfortable with white supremacy and fascism when it really comes down to it.

And yet some white dude told me to go back to Twitter to be with the nazis? Seems like the nazis are doing just fine here, particularly those who are OK with antiBlackness.

The politics of “Jews will be offended if I criticize Israel” is a politics of “Palestinian lives don’t matter” That is your position

These people never seemed to ask themselves whether Palestinians would be offended by their silence while Palestinian families were murdered with bullets, bombs, beatings, starvation, lack of access to medical care and hygienic living conditions.

Republic of Yarnia supports the #GlobalStrikeforGaza. We are standing in solidarity w/ the Global Strike called by Bisan Owda @wizard_bisan1 & others: every Thursday, we pause & make no purchases. Why? Because capitalism fuels the wars & genocides that devastate oppressed ppls. 🧶 1/6

Bisan Owda -" CALL TO ACTION: Let it be the biggest Global Strike This is our collective duty to stop a genocide, it’s the minimum but it makes the needed change!" #Gaza #Genocide

Hello to good ppl everywhere. Yes, I have 3 special colorways to support 4 families in Gaza and the Sameer Project. Crafting and creativity are powerful weapons. Making beauty reminds us of what we are fighting for while showing solidarity with Palestinians. 🧶

Fall scarves anyone? Everyone? All y'all? I think we should all have scarves made with gorgeous yarn. This one was a Halloween special last year. Pumpkin patch with a tiger stripe twist! 🧶
