Create your own magic

Let our richly saturated, handdyed yarns and fiber inspire you to create your own masterpiece!

Fall in love with hand dyed yarn

Each skein of Potion Yarns is a chapter in an unfolding story—hand-dyed in small, intentional batches and crafted with layers of legendary beauty. Inspired by quiet magic, old tales, and the beauty of slow creation, come see what’s waiting while new ones steep in the dye pots.

With so many hand-dyed yarns available, why choose Potion Yarns?

Because each skein begins quietly—in small, intentional batches—guided by intuition, color, and the slow unfolding of something beautiful.

Layer by layer, color is built and softened, deepened and transformed, until each skein holds its own kind of quiet magic—rich, dimensional, and full of subtle movement, like a story half remembered, translated into color.

Luxurious, high-quality fibers are chosen with care, so every skein feels as beautiful to work with as it is to look at—soft in the hand, and rich in the fabric it becomes.

And behind every color is a real small family business, deeply grateful to be part of your making, and honored that these skeins find their way into your hands and your stories.

The Curiosity Lab

Step into the Mad Science Lab—a quieter corner of Potion Yarns where experiments linger and forgotten spells find new purpose.
Inside, you may discover discontinued colorways, one-of-a-kind batches, imperfect but beautiful “oops” skeins, and mystery grab bags waiting to be opened.
Nothing here is ordinary, and nothing stays the same for long.

Ordered 2 skeins and was thrilled

Ordered 2 skeins and was thrilled. Johanna dyes beautifully and her skeins always have such depth of color. When I splurge on hand dyed yarn, she is always my first choice!

Dante

This is one of the most vividly beautiful yarns I’ve worked with. It’s like flames in fiber form. The wool is a high quality, is soft and smooth to work with, and does not pill.

Scrumptious Suri

I paired this scrumptious yarn with a wool to make a hat for my electrician son whose favorite color is yellow. The colorway was stunning, and the yarn was so incredibly soft and made a lovely squishy fabric paired with the wool. My son loves his hat and couldn’t stop talking about how soft it is.

The mystery bag was beautiful

The mystery bag was beautiful, I know they’re supposed to be random but it appears that all of the skins sent to me are going to coordinate with each other. I absolutely love potions yarn and can’t wait to buy again.

Soft in texture and color, but sturdy and well-made

Soft, well wound, well-plied, beautiful color. This is a perfect neutral shade for a baby - and that's what it's going to be! My little grandbaby girl is a star, so she deserves it!
