Welcome to Gypsy Stardust Yarn and Fiber!  My goal is to create riots of color, and my colorways are based on myth, magic, and fantasy. I hope that they inspire your creativity!

At SpaceCadet®, we passionately believe that knitting and crocheting make people happier, deep down inside, and that nothing does that more than working with gorgeous, vibrant yarn.

For us, dyeing is a cosmic adventure.  We start with high quality yarns and luxurious fibers — merino wool, silk, linen, and bamboo — to begin the wonderful process of mixing our dyes by hand and seeing where the colour takes us.  The result is yarn and fiber that is as exciting to work with as it is for us to create.
Started as a one-woman operation in 2010, we have grown to a small team that is proud to mix every colour from primaries, dye every skein individually, and to get to know our customers and club members personally.
