Color Story is a monthly yarn subscription featuring six hand-dyed mini skeins, thoughtfully arranged as a palette inspired by each month’s theme.
Each month brings a new chapter told in yarn along the journey, with colors drawn from the locations we pass through. Every palette stands on its own, while also connecting across the year as part of a larger story.
Those familiar with The Lord of the Rings may recognize the path but no prior knowledge is needed to enjoy the colors themselves. A small preview of each month is below.
If you miss the cutoff, that’s okay; your subscription will begin with the next chapter.
