Have you ever dyed yarn? Me either! You have? Do tell! I had no idea there was such a robust indie yarn-dyeing scene until I fell down the rabbit hole of Instagram. And let me tell you, that is one gorgeous speckled and hued rabbit hole!

Below are some of my favorite U.S. dyers to stalk. The yarn isn’t cheap but it’s small-batch and unique – nothing like what you get from a big box store. I usually see crocheters and knitters using wool like this for wearables like hats and shawls but I don’t see why you couldn’t use it for amigurumi. Your project would sure stand out from the rest!
