The Fibre Garden : Dyeguy™ Yarns
Showing 1–18 of 39 results
John is the Dyeguy™, and our shop is always well-stocked with yarns dyed right here. From lace weight to bulky, you’ll find a great selection of colour. Most of the yarn is kettle-dyed but that doesn’t mean only solids or semi-solids, though you will find both here. Various tricks allow a dyer to layer colour in the kettle to produce all sorts of fancy effects.
We use a variety of base yarns, the majority of them spun right here in Canada!

Lace Time – Blueberry Cobbler
A popular colourway that we do on a variety of base yarns. Bright medium-blue is dappled and splashed with violet and grape-juice purple, just like the stain on your shirt after you spill the blueberry cobbler. Random-dyed with no predictable repeat.
PRODUCT of CANADA
Lace Time – Cinnabar
A very difficult colour to describe, this is an almost-solid medium wine-pink-brown tone.
PRODUCT of CANADA
Lace Time – Coal & Ash
Tone-on-tone, with ash-grey splashed and splotched with deeper charcoal. Random-dyed with no predictable repeat.

Bright turquoise with streaks and splashes of lime green and occasionally sapphire blue. Almost the colour of your local outdoor pool. Random-dyed with no predictable repeat.
PRODUCT of CANADA
Lace Time – Twilight Brocade
We are very proud of this colourway, which pushes the limits of what is possible with kettle dyeing. Flashes of rose, salmon, green-gold, pale blue, sage-green and rusty-wine are all brought together on one yarn. Semi-repeating but unpredictably random at the same time.
PRODUCT of CANADA
Lace Time – Vampire
A gorgeous effect, with a ground tone of rich scarlet-red, overlaid with smoky black. Any vampire would be thrilled to wear socks or a scarf made from this colourway. Random dyed, no repeat. This looks similar to "Roasted Red Peppers" at first glance but "Vampire" is a brighter scarlet and the black is washed over, rather than painted on like grill marks.
PRODUCT of CANADA
Socky-Talky After Midnight
As close to jet-black as we can make. Semi-solid deep charcoal-black. Need a yarn for a man with colour fear? Here you go! We love this used for heels and toes combined with "Vampire" or "Roasted Red Peppers".
PRODUCT of CANADA
Socky-Talky Antique Bottle
A tone-on-tone semi-solid, in medium and soft teal... that blue-green tone that is hard to describe. Some call it bottle green.
PRODUCT of CANADA
Socky-Talky Bachelor’s Button
Socky-Talky Black Spruce
Socky-Talky Blackberry Wine
Deep and rich beet-red is overlaid with black. Almost the colour of the local Thimbleberries, a type of blackberry grown here in Niagara.
