Vintage Color Collection
i started crocheting using leftover yarn from my grandmother + great-grandmother. this supply of yarn has created so many pieces + has established a collection of discontinued vintage colors while supplies last.
those limited colors are here until they're gone, so don't hesitate to request one of them for your item if you see a vintage shade you love.
we are fully restocked with new colors, but make a special request at checkout if you're not seeing a color you're looking for in our shop. you can expect a color request to add to the production time, but we'll do our best to get you your item as soon as we can.
