I posted a while ago about my friend’s amazing business and the yarn I purchased from her. She spins and hand-dyes her amazing yarn, and makes the most gorgeous colors! It’s crack for creatives.

I’m delighted that she named one of her colorways after me! Isn’t this a gorgeous, blood-red yarn with depth and layers to it? Here’s what she says.

Mercedes 🍎 A colorway named after my brilliant friend Mercedes M Yardley and her book titled “Little Dead Red.” DK weight, 75/25 sw merino/nylon, +/-246 yards, 5 available.

I can’t tell you how happy and excited this makes me! We’re coming up on the holidays, and if you have somebody who loves to knit or crochet, or you do so yourself, some of Shannon’s yarns would be the perfect gift. You can visit her shop here. Happy creating!
