Dark & Twisted Fibre Arts

The alternative side to crochet, knit, fabric items...Shawls to dishcloths...Fibrearts with a twist! Addicted to all forms of fabric and fibre arts for years....my house began to fill with finished pieces...a small business was born. Most of my creations lean towards alternative, gothic, pagan....overall non-mainstream styles. I love trying to incorporate skulls into everything! Interested in seeing what I have for sale?

At the #kwknittersfair a few folks noted that they wished they saw more #crochet samples. . I'm working on it! Decided to make a crochet sample of my Vamp gradient set. Set is a 7x30g sock set and the pattern is #ultimatesacrificeshawl by @lorrainepughdesigns 🥰 . #hamontmakers #hamont #handdyedyarn #gradientyarn #knittersofinstagram #knitting #handdyed #indiedyer #yarn #knitstagram #crochet #yarnaddict #yarnporn #sockyarn #indiedyedyarn #knit #indiedyersofinstagram #knittingaddict #handdyedyarns #handmade #indiedyers #indiedyersofig #instaknit #stitchnoir #canadianmade🇨🇦 https://www.instagram.com/p/CikqRWGpWsH/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Celebrate the changing of the seasons with my next mystery box on Autumn Equinox! The yarn will be dyed on Sept 21 and shipped within a week. . Autumn Equinox (also called Mabon by some) is the mid-point between summer and winter…when light and dark are equal.  For me it has also been the time of the year that I experience large changes in my life whether that be moving, new jobs, relationships ending or beginning… a time for growth or a time to pivot and change your perspective as the palette of the world changes around you. . Even I don't know what the yarn will look like until the day! So be sure you like surprises! 😉 . #hamontmakers #hamont #handdyedyarn #sabbatyarn #autumnequinox #mabon #paganknitters #knittersofinstagram #knitting #handdyed #indiedyer #yarn #knitstagram #crochet #yarnaddict #yarnporn #sockyarn #indiedyedyarn #knit #indiedyersofinstagram #knittingaddict #handdyedyarns #handmade #indiedyers #indiedyersofig #instaknit #stitchnoir #canadianmade🇨🇦 (at Hamilton, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiQmo5Rpv4f/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

New shawl kit available this weekend! Swipe to check them out! . Over the past few weeks Holly from @hekofaknit and I have collaborated to create this super fun shawl kit! . Stripes and Peaks is a quick knit that uses one skein of my DK sock along with three 20g mini skeins in an ombre set! Holly has created a really fun pattern that plays with colour, stripes and a lovely chevron eyelet pattern down the middle! . I will have kits at the #kwknittersfair on Saturday and they will then be available on my site as of next Monday! . $49 per kit includes a full skein of DK sock, a set of 3 minis and a code to download the pattern. . In this post are samples of the Strawberry Lemonade and Maple Spruce kits as well as photos of Starry Night, Stormer and This is Halloween. . More kits to come and some fun one off mini sets to choose from...because I can't stop dyeing for this one 🤣🤣 . #communityovercompetition #collaboration #canadiandesigner #knitpattern #shawl #handdyedyarn #knittersofinstagram #knittingdesign #patterndesigner #knitting #handdyed #indiedyer #yarn #knitstagram #yarnaddict #yarnporn #indiedyedyarn #knit #indiedyersofinstagram #knittingaddict #handdyedyarns #handmade #indiedyers #indiedyersofig #instaknit #canadianmade🇨🇦 https://www.instagram.com/p/CiN9n3KpvAS/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Love making demi-gradients! They are dyed halfway with one heathered colour....in this case dark grey/black... with the actual gradient dyed on the other half. . Some of these may look the same but I have 7 x 30g sock sets (750 yds) and 7x 50g sock sets (1290 yds) all hrsded to the #kwknittersfair next Saturday!! . #hamontmakers #hamont #handdyedyarn #gradientyarn #knittersofinstagram #knitting #handdyed #indiedyer #yarn #knitstagram #crochet #yarnaddict #yarnporn #sockyarn #indiedyedyarn #knit #indiedyersofinstagram #knittingaddict #handdyedyarns #handmade #indiedyers #indiedyersofig #instaknit #stitchnoir #canadianmade🇨🇦 @kwknittersguild (at Hamilton, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiFeCffOx0p/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

So this popped up in my Facebook memories! . Eleven years ago today, I learned how to crochet my very first granny square! It was my first step into the world of yarn and fibre. . At this point, I didn't know how to knit, spin, scour wool, dye wool 😃 . I had no idea where I would find myself 11 years later! . #yarnlove #indiedyer #crochet #knit #handspinning (at Hamilton, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiBnKKuLZkH/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

So Stormer translates fabulously onto my #alpaca #cashmere #silk DK base 🥰🥰 . This is my most luxurious base...super soft with a drape that is out of this world 🤩 and it is hard not to just these for myself to make a top! . These will be at the #kwknittersfair next Saturday! . #hamontmakers #hamont #handdyedyarn #knittersofinstagram #knitting #handdyed #indiedyer #yarn #knitstagram #crochet #yarnaddict #yarnporn #sockyarn #indiedyedyarn #knit #indiedyersofinstagram #knittingaddict #handdyedyarns #handmade #indiedyers #indiedyersofig #instaknit #stitchnoir #canadianmade🇨🇦 (at Hamilton, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ch5DOmeJRg9/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

So this memory just popped up and I find myself reflecting. You just never know where life is going to take you. . It's hard to believe that in 2013 I was still a new crocheter. Didn't really know how to knit....may have dabbled with spinning but not much....dyeing wasn't even on the horizon! I was also SUPER proud of this minion hat!!! 🤣🥰 . Has only been nine years but there has been so much growth, so much change so many new experiences and skills acquired. I have met SO many new friends! And there's so much more to come! . Happy Friday Everyone! . #memories #knit #crochet #handspinning #minionhat https://www.instagram.com/p/ChKYmXKr1fR/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
