I love Dawn & Penny from the Frivolous & Frugal Knitting Podcast. They are two sisters who love to knit have many frivolous and frugal tips in their hour long broadcast. They have a virtual Zoom knit night that I've been a small part of this past year and I have grown to admire, be inspired by, and love the folks in the group. At the end of July 2022, they had a meet-up (an in-person gathering) outside of Chicago. I was unable to go and decided to dye a colorway in their honor with their favorite colors. Behold! The F & F Colorway!!
Please allow 7 - 14 days for processing as this is a dyed-to-order colorway.
Thank you.

Washing instructions:
For best results, hand-knit items should be hand washed in tepid water and laid flat to dry. Superwash yarn CAN be washed in the machine on a gentle cycle (but not advised), then laid flat to dry. It is recommended to wash your skein before use. This will ensure any extra color will be rinsed out and prevent "bleeding".
Yarn dyeing is done at home in my back room and air-dried by God. We are a non-smoking home with a cat that roams around our back room and yard. He is afraid of the dyeing equipment and special care is taken so that he does not get onto the yarn - he's too old and arthritic to jump up on the table anyway.
Due to the nature of hand dyed yarns being unique, the skein you receive may vary slightly from the photo shown. If you have questions about the skein, please contact me and I will answer any questions you may have.
