We are so excited for the second annual Bay Area Yarn Crawl!
To celebrate, we have created a new 2025 Crawl Colorway and Bundle. This new color, naturally dyed with indigo in our Oakland studio, is named Ripple Effect after our love for the San Francisco Bay and the interconnectedness we all share.

Jasper and I love to walk at the Berkeley Marina. I go to clear my head. Watching Jasper frolic through the grasses, with a little spring in his step, gives me great joy and also puts a little spring in my step! While we walk, the wild grasses blowing in the bay breeze, we see little birds eating seeds, chirping, flying through the air, and even little snails in their shells slowly moving along. Across the Bay, in the distance is San Francisco, the shape of the skyline reminding us of our little place in the world.
These photos of Jasper and the Bay inspired this year’s colorway – featuring gentle swells of soft indigo blue to mirror the sky and water, coupled with greens mimicking the hues found across the lush Spring green grasses. Flecks of gold and rusty brown represent the wild grasses, the sun’s rays reflecting off of them, and Jasper running through them.

(For those of you visiting the Bay Area, we highly recommend taking a walk at the Marina. It is a wonderful place for a picnic!)
