Owner and primary dyer, Jean, doesn't hold back when playing around with colors. Juni + Si'ds unique colorways range from tonal neons, earthy variegateds, and thrilling speckles! And in a nod to the rockers of the 80s and 90s, they are named after her favorite songs. It's a Gen X trip down Memory Lane!

Juni + Si, pronounced Ju-Knee and Sigh, is named after the owner's grandchildren Juniper and Silas. Dyed out of Snoqualmie, Washington, Jean wants to acknowledge and honor the native people who have heavily contributed to the art of dyeing. 

As with all hand-dyed yarns, Juni + Si are dyed in small lots. Color, tonality and speckle amounts may vary from skein to skein, lot to lot and monitor to monitor.

The hardy sheep that bring us this remarkable wool roam freely on the grassland of the Tibetan Plateau at an altitude of over 4000 mt. Through their work, mYak aims is to give this thousands-of-years-old nomadic lifestyle an opportunity to thrive and prosper in uncertain modern times.

Out of deep respect for animal welfare, nomads shear the sheep by hand in the traditional way that has been used for centuries – collecting the fiber following the natural life rhythms of the animals and the people who raise them. Tibetan sheep are a very strong breed that have adapted to the rough environmental conditions of the Himalayan plateau.

The herd that produces fiber for mYak Tibetan Cloud comes from a poorer area of Tibet, intentionally chosen to bring a better income to these communities. mYak aims to give this thousand of years old nomadic lifestyle an opportunity to thrive and prosper in uncertain modern times. The fiber is spun and dyed in Biella, at the foothills of the Italian Alps, the cradle of most ancient and prestigious Italian textile excellence.

FAQs

What's a Knitalong (or Crochetalong, or Makealong)?
A knitalong (KAL), Crochetalong (CAL) or Makealong (MAL) is a social event designed to bring the maker community together around a specific pattern or yarn – or sometimes both. Enjoy connecting with others while knitting or crocheting the same garment or working with a particular yarn together. This is a fantastic time to gather together with others in our fiber arts community, enjoy camaraderie, and get a little guidance and project support along the way.

What ISN'T a Knitalong/Crochetalong/Makealong?
A KAL/CAL/MAL is not a class. You should be reasonably familiar with the techniques required to work through the project at hand. However, help is never far away! If you ever find yourself in need of extended project support, drop in to our Help Session, offered weekly on Saturdays from 1-3pm.
