Unplanned Peacock Studio is a small hand dyed yarn business that's taking over a farm in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. Our yarns are unique, high quality, and made with care. We also raise Icelandic sheep for their glorious wool, and we help out our neighbors by selling other local yarn and fiber. I love to do custom work, so please inquire if you are interested in something extra special (match your pet? someone's favorite color? etc.), larger quantities than are currently in stock (for that Einstein Coat you've always wanted), or a different color on one of our yarns. Typically, custom work takes about 2 weeks to complete, as long as the weather cooperates (I do much of the dyeing process outside), and the yarn is available.
Our Knitter of the Month is Laura of Dragonwing Arts. She's an amazing lace designer who sells her patterns on Ravelry. Any of these designs would be delicious in Unplanned Peacock's Lace Yarns. The project on the right is her own design, made from Unplanned Peacock Bluegrass Twisty Sock.
She says this about herself: I’m an avid crafter from Southwestern Virgnia. I’m married to a wonderful husband and we live in a small town in the middle of nowhere. Well, it’s the middle of nowhere to someone who grew up in and around San Francisco. I’ve got an absolutely adorable Somali cat, Thomas, who loves to make a mess of my projects. I’m a technical trainer who tries to stay sane by working on several projects at once. My crafting interests are all over the place, from knitting to beading to painting. I have yet to find a craft I don’t like!
