A little backstory before I talk about our newest yarn to hit the shelves....
It was fun to watch the color combinations and get to know some of the other testers. Around the same time, a customer stopped into the shop and BOTH of us had NO CLUE we were in the same group chat. It wasn't until after she left, that I put two and two together while scrolling through Instagram!!! Of course then I had to stalk her insta (as one does) and discovered she dyes GORGEOUS yarn AND is a local gal!!!!!!
I fell in love with her PNW inspired colorways, as well as this dandelion-inspired yarn. I'm going through a big gold/rust phase right now and this one spoke to my heart!!
I was curious about her business name and inquired about the inspiration behind "Jadawoo Designs".
"Ah! That is my alter ego! Sometimes fear prevents us from trying new things or going after our dreams. I got the nickname Jada in highschool from a friend because I had the courage to voice my opinion in the same way his favorite artist did. I first used Jadawoo when I was training for a half marathon, to remind myself I had the courage to push through even when things were tough. I was super nervous to start selling the yarn I dye. When I sat down to name the business, Jadawoo was it. I named it that to remind myself to have the courage to try this and not to let fear hold me back"
I don't know about you, but I feel this sentiment SO MUCH!!! Fear can really hold us back and I'm so thankful Jess took the leap of faith to sell her beautiful yarn and I'm pleased as punch that we get to stock her yarn!!
Not only does Jadawoo Designs have lovely pre-established colorways....Jess was kind enough to dye up a brand new colorway for A Little Knitty and she named it 'A Beautiful Place' (pictured above).
You can find her yarn in-store or online HERE
