I said to myself...

I should do something today besides knit.
And then I laughed and laughed.

Coming to MAKS: Brediculous Yarns Trunk Show!

Starting tomorrow, MAKS is hosting Bredicoulous Yarns in an extended trunk show from February 26th to March 14th. We will be hosting our show online and at the store, so you don’t even have to leave your slippers to get some of Brea’s amazing products.

A little bit about Brea in her own words: Hi! I’m Brea, owner, and dyer of Brediculous Yarns. I would be lying if I said yarn dyeing was my main original career choice but here we are! Going for my BA in college, I discovered the beauty of hand-dyed yarn. From there I evolved from buying to making hand-dyed yarn. I have been dyeing yarn ever since. I started off in my living room and now moved downstairs in the basement with a lot more space to create more colors!

Along with Brediculous being a regular line we love at MAKS we wanted to give you a sneak peek at the fabulous stuff we’ll have for this event.

Everything is loaded to the online cart so if you’d like to enjoy this trunk show virtually, we are there for you. Please note that Brea works with several different bases and an amazing recipe book of colorways that can be reproduced in each base. The online store shows the main picture for the skein information and a second picture that represents the colorway. Always refer to the main picture or the product description to get an accurate idea of what each skein will look like and knit up. She also sent some beautiful samples along that I’ll attach for your enjoyment. Please call the shop during regular business hours if you have any questions.
