Dyed In The Wool by Spincycle Yarns
The autumn news just keep coming! This week we had a gorgeous delivery come to us all the way from Washington, USA, and we are very proud to introduce you to Spincycle Yarns. Their Dyed In The Wool is just what it sounds like; dyed in the wool.
Where some yarns are dyed after spinning, this one is dyed first, spun second. Dyed In The Wool starts out in the dye house, where Kate and Rachel, the powerhouses behind Spincycle, kettle dye the fibres themselves. Kettle dyeing, versus hand painting for example, means each colourway gets the most subtly enchanting colour shifts from one shade to the next. Once dry and ready for spinning, the yarn heads over to the small, mother and daughter run mill where it’s machine spun for efficiency while true to that hand-spun quality that the “Spinsters” – and us – love so much. From start to finish, it’s a labour of love and an all hands-on operation.
And we love Dyed In The Wool. It’s an amazingly springy yarn that could almost fool you to believe it had some nylon content, but it’s all 100% American wool, and a beautiful one at that. The range of colour ways covers all your needs, from the bright-bright, to the sweetly muted, and always contain some gorgeously bold and self-shifting colours that will keep you going for that “just one more row” to see what’s coming next.
You can find Dyed In The Wool in individual skeins to suit the project of your hearts desire, or why not get yourself one of their kits? Everything you need in a customised muslin project bag; the kits come complete with the yarn, pattern and a hand made wooden stitch marker. Simply perfect if you find yourself suddenly without a project, and these kits of course make ideal gifts! It’s never too soon to start collecting Christmas presents you know. We also have a few single patterns for these lovely accessories. Shown above are the Hank Hat, Gumshoe Cowl and Clementine Cowl.
Are you too dyeing to get your hands on these beauties? Leave us a comment below by midnight (BST) on Wednesday for a chance to win a skein in the colour of your choice, just tell us what you’d love to make with it.
Time to announce last week’s giveaway winner!
It seems we’re not the only one’s to be smitten with Ella Austin, thank you to everyone who entered! The lucky winner of four balls of Lang Jawoll and Ella’s new collection is Alicia – congratulations!
That’s all for this week folks. Happy knitting!
Those colours are stunning! I’d definitely make a cowl. :)
Torn between a hat and fingerless gloves
Such beautiful skeins – I just want to touch them! Oh, and after that I’d make a funky baby cardigan for a friend.
I’d make some fingerless gloves so I could admire the colours.
Gorgeous, all so lovely!
Cowl I think, but I like the hats….. and the fingerless mittens are cute….
I’d make a hat, and possibly combine with a light base colour to highlight the amazing colours that come through in the Spincycle yarn.
The colors are vibrant and beautiful. I’d make a winter scarf for northern Michigan living. Thank you!
These are gorgeous! I’d love Rusted Rainbow, and I’d use it for a cowl.
Beautiful! I’d love to make a hat.
These colors are to dye for! Their vibrancy are just stunning!
I would make a cowl or hat. I could win one and buy one and make both!
Those colours are amazing! Perfect for a cowl – now that it’s starting to feel like it’s really the end of summer.
Fingerless mitts so I can admire them when I’m wearing them.
The gumshoe cowl is lovely so would love to make this. The colours in the yarn are magical.
Beautiful colours I would make myself a hat
Beautiful colours and I love the marled effects. Great bright shades as well. I think it would have to be a cowl or maybe mittens :-)
What a beautiful yarn! I would use it for a brioche scarf!Lovely!
I’m hooked on cowls at the moment, so definitely one. Doing the infinity cowl which knits up really quickly and you don’t have to concentrate too much on the pattern either, perfect telly knitting. Love the colours.
I love those colours! I would make a cowl or a scarf to brighten up the grey winter days.
I’d definitely make a super pretty pair of mittens with this wool! How lovely they would be….
I would love to make a hat, or maybe some mittens or perhaps a cowl. Truth be told I think I will need all three, the wool looks just so pretty.
Lovely! I’d make a cowl…then maybe a hat. Thanks for explaining their dye process…fascinating!
I’d make a hat and mitts set I think, perfect for chilly Autumn days.
Oh wow! Gorgeous! Thank you for making these gorgeous yarns available on our wee islands! ;-)
I would love a skein of Payback to add to my collection of Hexipuffs in this color scheme; looks amazing!! Another great new discovery by Loop. :)
I would make a funky coloured hat with it to brighten up the winter grey days and stand out in colour to match and blend with my coloured hair.
What fun yarn! I would knit some mittens to cheer me up on dark winter mornings – just love the Devilish Grin and Rusted Rainbow colours!
Amazing colours. I’d definitely make a sweater for my grandaughter – coolest kid in kindergarten.
I have a slight addiction to scarves and cowls so I’d definitely make one! Get some colour into my wardrobe!
A bandana cowl in End of Summer. Happy and bright!
I’d make a super pretty scarf.
The texture of the yarns looks amazing. The Devilish Grin would make a great hat.
a pretty pair of mittens would be lovely
Oohhhhhh grumpy bird in a pair of socks to keep toes everso toasty.
I would make a cowl, maybe the gumshoe cowl, love the Payback colourway but they are all gorgeous.
Beautiful, I would love to knit the Gumshoe cowl with this vibrant handdyed wool
Wow, I’d knit fingerless mittens in Nostalgia. Then I’d return for more yarn to make a matching hat!
Fields of green Cowl – yummy!
I would probably make a cowl. Love the Nostalgia colorway!
I just love the Rusted Rainbow and wouldn’t do anything for a while, just gloat over it while I decide !
I would love to be an ambassador for this wool by wearing the Hank hat for all to see x
I would love to make a cowl with this yarn, something which really showed off the colour transitions. Perhaps in Kimono… But then there’s the Robin’ Egg and there’s also Payback… 3 cowls??!!
Beautiful yarn… and such great names! I would be very tempted to knit a Clementine cowl if I was a lucky duck and won the giveaway
Truly lovely yarn! I’ve never seen anything like it – beautifully unique!
I would make a squishy brioche cowl!
I love green! I would make anything in Huldra, perhaps a hat!!
I would love to crochet some flowers, to attach to a bespoke cardi!
I am really drawn to the Clementine cowl, perhaps in Payback and Nostalgia. Yum!!

BeUtiful wool,love all the colours but End of Summer looks a favourite. I think I would make a cowl for autumn. Happy knitting whoever wins!
Love the colours! Can’t decide on a favorite …although payback and rusted rainbow seem to on the top…
Oooo beautiful, Ckementine cowl deffo if I were lucky enough to win
How could you not want to knit with such beautiful yarns with crazy names like Grumpy Birds?
Oh, yes! I am definately dyeing to get my hands on these beauties…
I would love to knit a cowl or a hat from these skeins!
And: Loop London – definately the favourite yarn shop over all yarn shops. A must to visit when in London :)

Oh my goodness! What wouldn’t I want to make with it?! Such gorgeous yarn! But if I must narrow it down it would either be a hat or a cowl. Something small that has a lot of impact. And then I would wear it everywhere and not let anyone else touch it! LOL
I would make a pair of fingerless mittens so you could just keep looking at the colours on your hands perfect! I think they would have to be in devilish grin fantastic name and sublime colour!
A pair of socks for me I think for my poor tootsies are always cold.
So many gorgeous colors to choose from. I love the “clementine cowl” pattern but I think I don’t have enough experience to do it. Plan B would be “The Age of Brass and Steam Kerchief” with “neveruary” color yarn. Wishing you all a wonderful day. :-)
Mittens! I’m all about the small projects at the moment
How lovely. I would have to make myself a snood or a cowl for this incoming weather! Thanks for the chance!
What beautiful colours. Definitely calling out to be made into a cowl!
Beautiful yarn, I would definitely make the Clementine Cowl for my Autumn accessory must wear you can never have enough cowls
That gumshoe cowl is stunning! Really shows off the colour variation in the yarn b
Looks absolutely stunning. I would make a small shawl for a friend who will have a shoulder replacement operation in October.
A brioche scarf of some kind would be amazing with the amazing colours!
I’d love to use the yarn for either a hat or a pair of mittens – the colours are amazing!
I’d like to make some very basic mittens that allow the wool to shine. ✨
All these colours are beautiful. I’d love to make a pair of fingerless mittens in End of Summer – then I could keep looking at these gorgeous colours on my hands every time I wore them.
Definitely mittens!
A lovely squooshy hat and/or some mittens :)
A squishy cowl for me!

I’d crochet my self some wrist warmers, never make my self anything and it’s getting chilly here in Shetland.
I’d make the Hank hat. I’ve had my eye on that one for a while.
I’d love to make a cowl or some handwarmers.
I’d knit a lovely woolly hat to welcome the Autumn – in Rusted Rainbow! I love all the colours.
spincycle yarn is the best! gorgeous colors…would make some slouchy mittens!
I love the Mississippi Masala and the contrast with Nostalgia or maybe the more subtle combination with Payback. The cowl is stunning but I love the idea of doing mittens or fingerless gloves so you could admire the colors while you were wearing the item.
Devilish Grin is gorgeous, just love the reds. Mittens would be divine!
Deep bump to make a Fireweed shawl. Then I’d have to find a pinky mauve to go with it. Will the temptation never end?
The colours plied like that look amazing, and I can’t wait to see them the next time I’m in the shop. I was going to say a cowl-but I love the comment about being able to see fingerless mitts… with long, bracelet cuffs
I’m yarn crawling tomorrow and will be visiting you…hurrah! It all looks rather scrummy. I’d knit some socks.
Loooove the Spincycle yarns and can’t wait to knit with them! I would start with a hat — maybe Martina Behm’s Tensfield to show off the color transitions.
I would make a baby sweater, the colors are so cheery but not garish.
Mittens or a shawl so it is nearby to admire!
Wow! The colours are so amazing!! I would definitely make a cosy snood that I could wear all through the winter!
I would love to make some fingerless gloves in the colors of the Aurora Borealis!
I love the Huldra colour way! I would make some scrumptious mittens. Really beautiful yarns I’m looking forward to seeing them tomorrow!
I reckon a pair of mitts in rusted rainbow would be joyful all winter
Rusted rainbow would be my colour of choice. I would knit an Autumn cowl……so beautiful and seasonal.
I would knit some fingerless gloves to keep hands and wrists warm as the leaves start turning
Oh! My first pair of fingerless mitten with end of summer… Sooooo gorgeous.
Definitely mittens.
I am such a fan of these lovely ladies. I’d love to finally see and hold the yarns I have heard so much about. For me it has to be an end of summer shawl made with that beautiful end of summer shade
I love the gumshoe, but the clementine JUST sneaks it for me.
Gorgeous colours! I especially love “the end of summer” and “devilish grin”! I would turn them into mitts, Ysolda’s Inglis Mitts to be precise :)
I would knit my Mum (aka The Pensioner) a cowl – she’s been asking for one – in Devilish grin (to cheer her up!)
I’ve wanted to try spincycle yarns forever! I’d probably knit a cowl with it. It makes for great color work!
Nice dye work… Just came across this article in Flipboard…
I’m dreaming of some arm-warmers for Autumn – this yarn would fit the bill perfectly! xx
Oh, mittens for sure! Theyre’re so beautiful, I’d love to look at them all day long!
Ooh! I’d go for Venus in Fur and I’d make a pair of wristwarmers to go with my new winter coat.
I’d love to make a winter hat in Nostalgia.
Wow, beautiful colors, really out of my comfortzone. But would be fun to try sometime.
I adore the Saddest Place colour! Would love to make some fingerless mittens with it to brighten up gloomy autumn days.
The colours are amazing, I think I would choose something for my hands so I could see the luscious colour all the time.
I’d make a simple cowl to really show off the colours in the wool
I’d knit a cowl o a pair of mittens in Devilish Grin … Stunning yarn!
Gorgeous colours, I want all of them!
Got to be the Gumshoe Cowl using Payback and Nostalgia!
Hmmm… Could be anything really but i would go for some squares of a blanket created to remember some very happy moments…
Oooh, I think I would make a snugly cowl, it looks so soft :)
Such lovely colours. I want to try a cowl so I’d definitely do that.
Absolutely love them all I would love to knit a matching hat and scarf set in any of the colour selection xxx
I love Rusted Rainbow – I would make a hat to cheer myself up on a chilly winter’s day!
Beautiful !I live your shop.I think I have to move very close to your shop.
I have just pee’d on a stick and got a +ve so it would have to be a tiny cardigan for the baby.
