I am beyond excited to be writing this blog post and be the first to share this news… Some news I think all our passionate knitting and crocheting and fiber enthusiasts out there are going to be equally excited about.

May I introduce Movers & Makes Yarns to you!!!

Movers & Makers Chicago Indie Dyed Yarn

Some of you may already be familiar with Movers & Makers as the in-house brand for our Stitch Up Chicago host LYS, Nina Chicago. And if you are, then you know how fabulous it is that this yarn is now launching beyond the shop for all to enjoy!

Movers & Makers is the brainchild of Hilary the owner of Nina Chicago and I had a little hand in it too I can share. Hilary and I were talking a few years ago about a hole we saw in the indie dyer space: a steady go to for solids and tonals. That idea planted a seed that would continue to grow.

“Being a shop owner I was able to connect with what my customers are looking for - which are tonals and solids to compliment the incredible array of indie dye offerings” she says. Hilary got together with Kristin of KraeO and Fuzz Family Fibers and created a line that is the perfect compliment or even awesome on its own. And thus, Movers & Makers was born.

The Story behind Movers & Makers Indie Dyed Yarn from Chicago

I have seen these two powerhouse fiber loving gals in action creating this yarn. Every detail from base selection to the color is treated with attention and detail.

And now… a couple of years later, after the line has been one of the shop’s top sellers, Hilary is delighted to announce the launch of the line beyond Nina Chicago! We got to celebrate the launch with a sampling of Movers & Makers at Stitch Up Chicago! And man let me tell you how everyone LOVED this yarn!
