Sea Change Fibers was born of a desire to dye tonal colors on non-superwash bases, especially those from climate responsible producers. Sea Change Fibers is a name that reflects both our location on the west coast and our commitment to social and environmental justice. Our yarn bases are carefully researched and sourced from sustainable fiber producers. Since most of our bases come from small producers, their availability can change over time, and we bring in new bases to fill in gaps. All of our bases to date have been non-superwash wools—often blended with silk, cashmere or plant fibers—that create soft and durable garments. Our bases are primarily climate beneficial wool that is fully traceable from the pasture to the mill. Vibrant colors are a signature of Sea Change Fibers. We are always inspired by the colors of nature, especially those found in and around the Pacific Ocean and the coastal forests. We love dyeing and knitting with complex jewel tones as well as tonal neutrals. While we do cycle in new colors frequently, we rarely retire colors unless the dye becomes unavailable. After all, there can never be too many colors!The dyeing process at Sea Change Fibers involves careful and sustainable use of both water and power. We reuse water for similar colors throughout the day, with each dye pot dedicated to specific color families. Our airy pale colors come from adding skeins to the dye pots with hard-to-exhaust colors, so that no dye or water goes to waste. We use acid dyes in a climate responsible manner, including now having solar energy to fuel the dye pots. Thank you for choosing Sea Change Fibers yarn! We hope you enjoy the love and care that has gone into creating our yarn, and know that part of your purchase goes to supporting positive change in the world.
