Meet the Dyer! 

Lyndsey Wilson was born and raised in Kokomo and currently resides in Indianapolis. Yarn dyeing is her superpower. She was first introduced to the world of fiber art by her “bonus mom,” who taught her how to crochet. Not long after, she learned that her late great-grandmother, Bernice, also crocheted, making yarn work a meaningful part of her family history. Lyndsey eventually taught herself how to knit, and it has remained a therapeutic hobby for more than a decade.

While living on the West Coast for several years, Lyndsey built lasting connections within the yarn community and found a chosen family among fellow fiber artists. During her time in Las Vegas, she spent much of her free time at Sin City Knit Shop, where open knitting sessions were held daily. It was there that she discovered hand-dyed yarn after meeting Tanya from Pink Adobe Dyeworks
, whose beautiful colorways inspired Lyndsey to learn the art of dyeing yarn herself.

In 2018, Lyndsey moved to Los Angeles. During the pandemic, she learned how to dye yarn at The Knitting Tree, L.A. in Inglewood after receiving a scholarship for the course. She viewed the opportunity as life-changing, especially since classes of that nature can often be costly.

By the time she was selected for the program, Lyndsey was no longer living in Los Angeles. Determined to complete the course regardless of the circumstances, she flew to Los Angeles once a month following work trips, rented a car, stayed with former roommates, attended class, and flew back out the following day. She maintained this routine for nearly six months. At the conclusion of the course, the students hosted a trunk show—and the rest is history.

The Knitting Tree, L.A. continues to hold a special place in Lyndsey’s heart because of the love, time, mentorship, and opportunities they have provided her and other emerging yarn artists and dyers. Their support has been especially meaningful in helping her navigate and thrive as a woman of color within the yarn dyeing industry.

If someone had once told Lyndsey that she would become successful in the industry, she likely would not have believed them. Today, she is incredibly proud of herself and deeply passionate about her craft. She has developed a personal ritual when it is time to dye yarn: after accomplishing a goal, she rewards herself with sushi. She asks Alexa to play either ’90s R&B or jazz, depending on her mood, and often begins with a color she has never used before. Inspiration tends to arrive only after the dye touches the water, but the results are always beautiful. For Lyndsey, the process is beautiful, the journey is beautiful, and she is grateful to share it with the world.
