Woolen Boon

Woolen Boon's unique hand-dyed yarns are a feast for the eyes.

 

Since we first started stocking their yarns last month, we at Argyle have been delighted by our experience with Woolen Boon and their yarns. Woolen Boon is a little family-run yarn company, the husband-and-wife team of Sonya and Ryan who hand-dye yarn together in their small studio and shop in Concord, New Hampshire.

 

​With names like "Super Cool Party People," "I Love Lisa Frank," "Platypus Prime," and "Giant Jawbreaker," the colors are as adventuresome, playful, and inspiring as you'd hope. 

If you're too far away to feast your eyes in person, we have Woolen Boon available on our web store right now!

  

 

​Looking at these two lineups you can see that Woolen Boon has a unique, sophisticated eye for color. They have the feel and look of yarns that are on point for the modern knitter, but also an individual character that stands out and has its own voice and spirit.

Woolen Boon is the yarn dyer that Andrea Mowry chose next for her new project, the So Faded sweater, after the success of her Find Your Fade shawl using Hedgehog Fibres. ​

  

We were pretty lucky this September. We were worried if an order of yarn we had placed would ship in time for the NYC Yarn Crawl.
​Sonya and Ryan had the perfect solution: Since they would be driving through New York on a family road trip the day before, they could just drop the shipment off in person!
They were kind enough to stay for a while to meet with and answer questions from some of their local fans.
Here's Sonya and Esther showcasing the new lineup of Woolen Boon on Argyle's wall.

​We were also honored to have Sonya dye for the event a limited-edition, custom-designed color exclusive to Argyle Yarn Shop.

Here it is, the beautiful Mardi Gras!

We are so delighted with it! Although this first run went fast, we certainly hope to get our hands more skeins before too long. It's so complex, yet balanced; aquatic seafoam over a creamy base, with a punch of purple and the texture of amber speckles.
