Have you ever wondered how new yarn gets created? Follow the story of our process as we create a new yarn and a supporting line of patterns.
Follow this tale from the perspective of the yarn makers at Mountain Meadow Wool (Karen Hostetler and Valerie Spanos), the designer (Jill Wolcott) and the development director (Susan Wolcott) and how they work together and separately to bring a fabulous new product line to you.

The Absolute Positive NEED for Designers
So we make yarn. Lots of yarn. Beautiful yarn. Yarn with color, with personallity, with spunk! "Lively" as it has been called. So as much as I love to sit and stare at it, and would love to just drape it as is around my neck, it longs to be made into something. But not just anything. SOMETHING.
That is where Jill and Susan of Y2Knit enter the scene. Their background in art and design, and their technical expertise translate items created first in their imaginations onto paper. BRAVO!
So while this blog is called "A Yarn is Born" it would be just as well to call it: "A Yarn is Born and Adorned with Design"!
