We have a new dyer to welcome to the SSYC family soon, Kenyarn!

Jake Kenyan's colors are widely coveted and I'm so pleased to be sharing him with you in our shop as soon as the end of the month on a sock and DK base.
Jake's works full time as a dyer in Rhode Island (learn more about him from a feature done by CNBC), previously being a speech pathologist. His own father worked in the textile dyeing industry, which definitely gave him a head start in colorwork. Many small dyers have a day job as well, but Jake made the jump to full time and there's no looking back!
I pulled the two stills from Jake's Instagram stories, so they are a bit blurry. I'll definitely share great pics as soon as everything arrives.
I was so inspired with Jake's colors that I asked him to dye us up some shop exclusive colorways, which I can't wait to share with you. If you've read the shop blog for long, you may know I have a science background and I love all things Star Trek and space. So these five colors are inspired by our universe and the stunning colors of the expanse. Here's one above, Mars, in the dyepot!
I look forward to sharing more from this dyer (and two more coming up soon too!) as soon as it arrives.
That yarn in the dye pot looks great! I’m glad that you’re starting to carry a bit more DK weight yarn.

Yay for Mars! I’m an Aries and I see a birthday present from me to me in my future . . .
