There’s a new hand-dyed yarn from Julie Asselin in space! Julie Asselin Yarns worked with Paule T.B. from Urso Yarn Co. to create this fun boucle base that we are delighted to have for you this fall. Boucle is a textured yarn that knits up into a soft and cozy fabric. Its furry texture will have you ready for winter!

Founded on a commitment to local and responsible production and fair and equitable work, founders Julie and Jean-Francois have built their company on the values of Inspiration, Community, and Craftsmanship. With a goal of creating a space where all are welcome and celebrated for themselves, Julie Asselin’s yarns are vibrant and ready to inspire each project.
