Light in the Dark
These mini-skein sets are a celebration of the small, steady sparks—creative, human, and natural—that carry us through the colder months and remind us that making is a radical act of hope.
- Winter Constellations: Inspired by the night sky that gives us a sense of connection to the world.
- Hearthside Stories: A palette rooted in the glow of shared time—family tales, community circles, and handmade traditions passed from one maker to another.
