Our Story
Before we get into the nitty(knitty?)-gritty of our yarn-iverse, let me tell you a little tale of how this whole thing got started. I don’t really remember how old I was when I first learned to knit, but I definitely remember my grandmother being there. It wasn’t until I was an adult that I really got into it, though. And I’ve been creating things for my family and friends ever since.
But I found myself constantly on the hunt for yarns that matched what I had imagined in my head. It was so hard to find exactly what I was looking for. So I thought, “Why not take matters into my own hands?” And thus, Mickey and Marie was born. Since then I’ve become a mad scientist, armed with my trusty dye pots and a 90s throwback playlist, mixing and creating every colorway I can imagine.
Crafted with Love
But enough about me, let’s talk about you! We know you’re not just another face in the crowd. You’re a yarn whisperer, a needle ninja, a stitch sorcerer. And we’re here to fuel your yarny dreams, my friend. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or just starting out on your fiber adventure, our yarns are designed to ignite your creativity and keep you hooked (pun absolutely intended).
Every skein of yarn that leaves our dye studio is crafted with love. We pour our hearts into each batch, making each piece a little work of art, infused with personality. Our small batch approach means that each strand is infused with that special touch of attention and care.
Creative Colors
Oh, did we mention the colors? We’ve got a kaleidoscope of hues waiting to inspire your next project. From vibrant jewel tones to dreamy pastels and everything in between, our color palettes are inspired by the beauty of nature, art, and even a sprinkle of nerd culture. Because let’s be real, who doesn’t want to knit with yarn that’s as enchanting as a unicorn sipping a cup of tea?
Quality Matters
But we’re not just about pretty colors. We’re also obsessed with creating yarns that feel like a warm hug from your favorite book character. That’s why we source yarns from the US that are soft, durable, and a pleasure to work with. We want you to enjoy every stitch, bringing joy and warmth to your life.
