The story: Many of you know my origin story but if you don’t - Sewrella exists because of my Grandmother Betty. She was the matriarch of my very large family and is still the shining example of kindness and grace to everyone who knew her. I knew she was special from a very young age: no matter who you were she would meet you at the screen door (usually with a cat alongside) and greet you with so much warmth. She was so funny and cute, she had blue eyes that I think literally sparkled! She was pure magic.

When I was in college, Grandmother Betty’s health was in decline. I went to visit her in the hospital and was struck by the hours and hours we sat around waiting for anything at all to happen. I’d never done that before. It made me anxious and sad and I wanted a way to be present while also busying myself. Knowing Grandmother Betty was a lifelong crafter (everything from needlepoint to sewing all of my Mom’s bridesmaid dresses!), I went to the craft store after the hospital one day. I wandered around looking for something to connect me to her… because she wasn’t really recognizing us anymore and I wasn’t ready to let go. I was interested in sewing but it wasn’t portable so I wound up in the yarn aisle. Although Betty never knit or crocheted, I found myself in love with all the colors and I brought home a ball of yarn and a crochet hook. I taught myself on YouTube and finished my first scarf as we said goodbye to Grandmother Betty 💕 That tiny moment… led to all of this.

I knew from the moment the Home project began, that I wanted to dedicate a colorway to her. I chose a deep rose pink color inspired by the Clinique lipstick she always wore, and I think it matches her personality so well - bold, soft, feminine, a little playful, and classic. Just like Betty 💕

Home is dyed and spun from American grown wool at our partner dye house & mill right here in North Carolina! We're proud to collaborate on this project with another family owned & operated business in our home state.

FAQs

Home is an extension of what you know and love about Sewrella Yarn: curated color palettes, high quality materials, a refined aesthetic, and yarns that tell a story.

Home is a mill made yarn that's 80% superwash merino wool and 20% cashmere style nylon. It has 212 yds per 100g skein and is available in 20 beautiful colorways.

80% of every skein of Home is superwash merino wool grown entirely in the US. It's cleaned and processed in South Carolina (hey neighbors!) and then sent to the mill we work with in North Carolina (about 3 hours from our studio) to be dyed and spun.

The wool we chose for Home is 21.5 micron which is the same grade as the wool in all of our hand dyed yarn bases. Our mill has lots of different wool grades to choose from and we were very intentional about selecting a wool that feels and performs similarly to the yarns you know and love from us.

Cashmere style nylon is a treated nylon that is smoother and more durable than regular nylon. It does not contain any cashmere fiber but rather is called "cashmere style" to communicate its superior quality and feel. The mill sources this specialty nylon from Italy.

I designed Home to be as versatile as possible - delightful to knit or crochet garments, accessories, socks, home decor items, baby and kids items, even amigurumi! Both the superwash merino wool and cashmere style nylon in this blend are durable for heavy use items while being soft to the touch.

I've learned a lot in my (almost) ten years working in the fiber arts industry - what I like in a yarn and what I felt I could add to the marketplace. I've created hundreds of hand dyed yarn colorways and have refined my eye for color palettes. I wanted to develop my own commercial, mill dyed and spun yarn that felt like a natural evolution in our journey.

Hand dyeing yarn is extremely skilled, labor intensive work. I'm so so proud of our hand dyed yarns, our expert staff of dyers, and the way we transform a few pans, bare yarn and dyes into an immersive experience for crafters through storytelling.

While that will forever remain true, I always dreamed of expanding Sewrella to include a commercial line of yarns. Using the knowledge and style I've developed by dyeing yarns myself, I was able to work together with a mill to create my dream yarn line.
