Chrysalis Yarn

In case you noticed a lack of posts, last week was a black hole.  With the power out, the internet out, then the water being undrinkable…..it was the week that never existed yet never seemed to end.  Now, on the flip side, we’re having temperatures in the high 70s, as opposed to -2˚.  You just never know in Texas!  And speaking of Texas, I’m so thrilled to tell you about a Texas dyer today, based in Dallas: Chrysalis Yarn.

Chrysalis Yarn is dyed by Melinda (aka Mindy) who has a beautiful eye for color!

Conclusion

 As you know, I love supporting independent dyers and local Texas dyers.  I first found Chrysalis yarn on social media but really enjoyed getting to know Melinda when she did a virtual trunk show for my LYS.  And let me assure you that her yarn is just as beautiful in person as on her site.
