String Theory Colorworks Self Striping

String Theory Colorworks started in 2009 with the fateful words, “Hey, honey! Wouldn’t it be cool if..?” The founder began dyeing self-striping yarn that very weekend with the help of her husband, affectionately nicknamed “MacGyver-ski” by her mother. With her husband working as an electrical engineer and the founder having studied biology, they decided all of their yarns should have science-inspired names. Many of the colorways also interconnect in ways that reflect the founder’s uniquely creative mindset.

The family moved to New Mexico in July 2012, and welcomed their daughter in October of that year. Balancing business ownership with parenting brought new challenges, but things continued to go well. Their second child, a son, was born in April 2016. In October 2016, the family moved back to Orlando, where they have happily lived ever since.
