Black Makers Collection — Black-Owned Yarn, Soap & Candles | String Theory

Here you'll find hand-dyed yarn, small-batch soap, and soy candlelight from Black-owned studios we carry all year — not for Black History Month or Juneteenth, but because their work is some of the best we've found.

Naima Bond dyes the way she paints. Born and raised in Chicago, with a fine-art degree and a painter's eye, she hand-dyes Sister Ananse yarn close to home — each Black Artists Collection skein a tribute to a Black painter, made for String Theory. Karida Collins founded Neighborhood Fiber Co and names her saturated, GOTS-certified organic colorways for the neighborhoods of Baltimore and DC. And in Chicago, Danielle Martin built Soap Distillery from scratch — cocktail-inspired soaps and soy candles in compostable packaging, proof that an everyday thing can be both a small joy and a kindness to the earth.

Buy from a maker and the thread runs straight to her hands — your stitches, her studio, a wider circle of makers who get to keep making. That's the whole idea.
