We have assembled this crack team of queer dyers to cook up some true festive yarny magic for you all! 

View full details

You will receive 5 full-sized 100g skeins of sock yarn, 1 dyed by each of us. These will all be individually wrapped with the idea you can open one each week of December and the final one on Christmas day, new year's eve, or whenever you choose to celebrate.

Each skein will be each dyer's signature sock yarns. All are Merino/Nylon blends and one also includes Yak. They will all be a touch different but each a beautiful, luxury sock yarn versatile for many kinds of projects. The colourways will also be representative of each of our unique styles. 

The Wee Yarn Company will be doing the shipping to you all so they will come from the Netherlands. Timings will be taken into account to ensure delivery for December (early November for the Americas, Asia, Australasia, or Africa, and a week later for those in Europe). 

This collaboration is by the dyers and for the dyers so we're being very gay, mindful, demure, and communist. Through profit sharing we all benefit equally for our work and by purchasing you're supporting all 5 of us, so thank you! Below you will find a little profile of each of this year's Fagvent dyers as well as a link to their shops', and social media.

  • Fiona

    Fiona Kay is an indie dyer out of Portland, Oregon (USA). Her work has been described as “goth Lisa Frank,” showcasing extra bright neons and super moody dark colors. If she isn’t dyeing yarn, she’s probably watching a horror movie.

  • Francesco

    What can we say about Francesco Rosa that hasn't been already written on the walls of your local public men's toilet? Ironically, Francesco is one of the classier dyers taking part in this collaboration. After the great pigment heist he devoted himself to dyeing 1 million beiges for the plebs.

  • Aiden

    Aiden Sielias (they/them) started Undercover Otter in 2011 next to their day job. In 2018, Aiden quit their office job and became a full-time indie dyer. Bright saturated colors and strange names characterize their colorways.

    Undercover Otter yarns have been featured at Vogue Knitting Live in New York, Edinburgh Yarn Festival in Scotland, Oslo Strikkefestival in Norway, the Amsterdam Yarn Festival and Woollinn Yarn Festival in Ireland.

  • Nora

    Ross is forcing me to write this and I hate it with a passion: Nora is living her best cozy cat lady life where the hills are alive with the sound of music but no one has actually seen the damn movie including herself. If you are into weird stuff and puns you come to the right place. Her dye style is a touch more subdued than some of the other clowns participating which brings a touch of class and thoughtfulness to her colourways and this collaboration.

  • Ross

    Ross Alexander started The Wee Yarn Company in 2022. His dye-style moves between dark and moody and bright and hysterical with a heavy dose of stupidity for good measure.
