š©āšØ Meet the Genius Behind the Dye Pots
The magic all comes from founder Karida Collins, a total powerhouse in the fiber world. She started dyeing yarn in her basement in Washington, D.C., and built this brand from the ground up. Now, her studio is one of the most well-known indie dye companies in the U.S.
Even cooler? Karidaās on a mission. Sheās a fierce advocate for diversity and inclusion in the fiber arts, and she co-founded the Organizing for Anti-Racism initiative, pushing for real change in the crafting community.
