About Me

Hi, I'm Elysia, the maker behind yarn ink.

What started as a love of creating beautiful things slowly grew into a passion for hand-dyed yarn. I believe yarn is more than just a crafting supply—it's the beginning of a story, a creative outlet, and sometimes even a little bit of therapy after a long day.

Every skein is hand dyed by me in small batches from my home studio in Alberta, Canada. I'm mainly inspired by moody colour palettes, everything Disney, and the beauty found in the everyday.

The name yarn + ink comes from a view that yarn is a canvas. You add the ink (dye) and it becomes art on string.  Every colorway is thoughtfully layered, speckled, and painted by hand—quite literally art on string.

When I'm not dyeing yarn, you'll likely find me knitting, dreaming up new collections, spending time with my family and dreaming of my next Disney trip.

Thank you for supporting my small business and allowing my yarn to become part of your handmade story. It truly means the world to me.
