We love YOTH yarns for so many reasons - the colors, the bases, the pattern support, our beloved friend Veronika, her brother Danny and her amazing family.

Veronika has created lovely color palettes, beginning with her Raw Palette, 12 perfect neutrals. Then last Spring came the Fresh Palette, 12 gorgeous greens and blues, and just in time for the holiday season of 2015 she released the Juicy Palette, vibrant yellows, oranges, a little green and gold to brown. We can't wait to see the next palette to release!

Our fixture full of YOTH.

The Fresh Palette in Father

Veronika and Danny started out with an MCN (merino, cashmere, nylon) base in DK (Big Sister) and fingering weight (Little Brother)  Veronika's beautiful colors in this luscious base became a quick favorite with customers and staff. They followed up with a 100% US wool base to create Father (worsted) and Mother (lace).  We featured Father along with Veronika and Danny in our book Farm to Needle: Stories of Wool.

Veronika creates classic, yet modern designs that are very wearable. For the past two years we have featured YOTH with designs by Veronika during our Local Yarn Shop Tour (LYS Tour). The first year it was Rutherford in Big Sister and the second year Blanche in Little Brother.
