Okanagan Dye Works

Happy Victoria Day Long Weekend.

I am very excited to be doing a pop-up Nordic Studio Fibre Arts in Castlegar, BC on June 8th from 10am - 3pm. Nordic Studio Fibre Arts is also one of my new Stockists so you can always find my yarn in the store.

If there is something specific that you are wanting, please let me know so I can make sure to bring as I won’t have everything.

See everyone there.

This post is a little late but better late than never. We had a great day teaching this Needle Felted picture class on day. The store was so busy with lots of laughs and great people.

I always have a great time supporting local yarn shops that support us indie dyers. Thank you Cheryl for having a great yarn/fibre store and allowing me to steal a whisp of brown wool 😂.

I have seen 7 times now and they get better every time. I leave each concert wanting more and looking forward to more amazing music. This time I brought my daughter and we did the VIP experience and it didn’t disappoint. I actually got to see in shoes. It was like seeing a Sasquatch in the wild.

These 4 sock sets are just a few of many mismatched sets that were created solely for

This was a very special project for me to help bring awareness to Down Syndrome and

It was by far the most stressful but rewarding custom set I have ever been asked to do. I created 10 unique sock sets where each sock is a different colour and comes with two matching minis. They are called Designer Genes.

Scroll through the pictures to see the beautiful twins that inspired me for these colours ❤️❤️

Please contact Natasha to purchase your set. She should have them on the website soon but be patient as she is opening up a new store and has to chase these two year olds around.

Don’t forget, we are more then just yarn. We also sell felting supplies, spinning supplies, carding cloth and hand knit toques.

Ok. This post is EXTREMELY late. I am finally posting after . It was an amazing show. This year Jody was with Izzy racing at Mission Raceway Park so I had to set up by myself. But, thank goodness for amazing friends. .studios .craft.pod was there to save the day and helped me so much. We got caught up a bit and had some laughs.

I was waiting for Melissa from to show up and was able to meet her. She came all the way from Ottawa. I didn’t gut much time to walk around but when I did, I grabbed these two beautiful braids from and a beautiful skein from . These aren’t going to stay long in my stash.

Looking forward to next year in Calgary.

I have finally started knitting my first pair of socks. This is a mix of a few patterns that I put together. I am loving them. I was so excited to start that I didn’t have the right size needles and that is why there were some changes.

This new colourway is a bright bold spin on a beautiful park called Cosens Bay on Kal Lake.

K’nmaĺka? Sәnqâĺtәn - the word K’nmaĺka?, which Kalamalka Lake received its name after, is the name of an Okanagan/Syilx Chief who lived on the shores of the northern part of the lake.
