This year, I made the decision to use more indie yarns and as part of that adventure, I was introduced to Roberta Rae Fibers. Charlotte and Jerlyn are the dyers behind this Michigan-based company.

Roberta Rae Michigan Worsted yarn is made with wool from Michigan farmers, it’s spun at a fiber mill in Michigan, and it’s also dyed in Michigan. It’s truly a local yarn!
