I sell handspun yarns from wool and wool blends, primarily in lighter weights. My signature yarn is called Pseudo-Self-Striping Sock Yarn, and it’s a fingering weight yarn that will knit into gently transitioning stripes.

Wren House Yarns features individually hand dyed, small batch, artisan yarns. Each skein is dyed with professional acid fast dyes. While some of my hand dyed yarns may look similar, due to the dye process, the yarns will never be exactly the same. Each skein is *individually* dyed for a truly unique knitting experience. I also sell naturally dyed yarns that feature local and exotic colors.

Hello fiber friends!
I had a wonderful time at Indie Knit and Spin on Saturday. At this show alone do I truly feel that I am amongst my people. So thank you to all the volunteers, vendors, and shoppers throughout the years. You all make this show so special and wonderful.
The first year IKS was just one room on the first floor. Seven booths. It was launched off of my last year vending at Handmade Arcade. In true indie fashion, every person who so much as glanced at the yarn in my booth got this flier – iks-flier. That and Ravelry ads were all we did and the show was off and running.
In case you are curious, our first one room show included: Beads by Eileen, Cosymakes, J Compton Creative, SpaceCadet, Klotho Handspun, Emily Eckel Artisan Buttons, Fibernymph Dye Works, Gwen Erin Natural Fibers, Wren & Rita, and Burgh Baby Gear. Here’s a mosaic from that first show.
It has been wonderful to dye for you, serve you, be friends with you, and enjoy fiber arts with you over the last 7 years and 10 shows. And now I am handing the show over into the very capable hands of the folks at HipStrings. They will continue on the legacy of having a fun indie fiber event in the Burgh.
I’m terrible at taking pictures, but I did find this pic of my booth in 2012.
And with that, I’ll see you shopping at the next IKS. I wouldn’t miss it for the world.
Fibery wishes,
Cosy
