Hi I’m Janis, the dyer and co-founder of Queen City Yarn.Thank you for your interest in stocking our yarns!We are a dye studio in Charlotte, NC where we hand-dye all of our yarn. We strive to offer beautiful colors on bases your customers will love. We began Queen City Yarn with a love of offering beautiful handpaints paired with vibrant tonals. We have since expanded to offer specialty bases that have quickly become customer favorites.Our most popular base is Coleman, a 65% Silk, 35% Linen blend that is a great DK weight base perfect for hot and humid summers, but also great for layering pieces in cooler months. Our other best seller is Latta, our sport weight, 100% Non-Superwash Merino/Rambouillet wool. Latta comes in multiple sizes, from petites to super skeins, making it a perfect choice for a contrast color or as the main color of your project. You’ll still find us dyeing our original bases ranging from fingering-weight NoDa Sock to our newest fuzzy alpaca/silk blend, Bernice.Our colors are inspired by our beautiful surroundings and the breathtaking places we have visited. While we dye each color to be beautiful on its own, we also strive to design coordinating colorways as well as colors that contrast beautifully with one another.
