    We dye yarn to match our knit wear patterns that we design. Our specialty seems to be lace shawl mystery Knit A Longs or MKAL's for short. Everyone loves a mystery. Along with the pattern and special yarn we add stitch markers and jewelry sets. Working at something you love is not work at all.wmdramble.blogspot.com
