Yeah, we actually paint it.




We handpaint a lot of yarn.  It occurred to me recently that many people don't know what we mean when we say that the yarn is handpainted (with brushes and everything).  I also think that there is a lot of so-called "handpainted" yarn out there that really isn't (it just kind of looks like it is).  So, just so everyone can see that when we say painted we mean it.  The best part of handpainting yarn is that it is so much fun.  It seems like no matter what colors you throw together, the end result is great.
The rainbow array of yarn (picture at the top) wasn't at the farm for very long.  The yarn is in its new home (and available to purchase)  at Heavenly Socks Yarns in Belfast www.heavenlysocksyarns.com.  Everyone around here just calls the place "Helen's".  So now Good Karma Yarn is available at two Belfast locations, Murfreesboro, TN, Valley Forge, PA, and of course online.
