Another view of the Tess yarn. Note the subtle color changes and how big & fat the hanks are. Each hank is dyed on Melinda’s kitchen stove, by hand, by just Melinda, one at a time. If you could see her shop, you would be amazed that all that yarn came from one person & one kitchen!!
This is how you wished ALL your handpainted/handdyed yarn would look like. Melinda is truly a color artist. She says her brother is the one with the artistic talent, but I beg to differ!
Melinda came from the mid-west to Maine over 20 years ago, and lives on the edge of the ocean in an old house. She dearly loves water===the ocean, the lakes, swimming like a fish. Her colorways have that ‘under-water garden’ feel to them—no abrupt color changes, soft swaying little pools melting & merging & shifting. *sigh*
If I get hit by a truck tomorrow, everyone bring a skein of Tess Designer Yarn to put in my casket. And a pair of needles…
