<p>Have you ever looked at a gorgeous, speckled skein and wondered how it’s actually made? I’m going down a rabbit hole to explore the chemistry and creativity behind indie-dyed yarn. In this episode, I break down the basics of yarn dyeing for beginners, including:</p><ul><li><p><strong>Fiber Types:</strong> Why <strong>wool</strong> and <strong>animal fibers</strong> take dye differently than cotton or acrylic.</p></li><li><p><strong>Dyeing Techniques:</strong> The difference between <strong>immersion dyeing</strong>, <strong>hand-painting</strong>, and creating those trendy <strong>variegated</strong> and <strong>tonal</strong> looks.</p></li><li><p><strong>The Science:</strong> How <strong>acid dyes</strong>, heat, and pH levels bond color to fiber.</p></li><li><p><strong>Safety Tips:</strong> How to experiment with <strong>DIY yarn dyeing</strong> without ruining your kitchen.</p></li></ul><p>Whether you're a <strong>knitter</strong>, <strong>crocheter</strong>, or just a lover of <strong>fiber arts</strong>, join me as I discover how a little vinegar and heat can turn a plain skein into a work of art.</p><p><strong>Are you ready to try dyeing your own yarn, or are you just here for the beautiful colors?</strong></p><p><strong>For a deeper dive into growing your handmade business, check out my new book, </strong><a href="https://a.co/d/ieT3jAX"><strong>Hooked on Growth</strong></a><strong>, which goes into much more detail on scaling!</strong></p><p>🔆<a href="https://www.marcymade.co/products/3-month-crochet-kit-club"><strong>Join Our Skool Community</strong></a></p><p><strong>🔆</strong><a href="https://www.marcymade.co/pages/learn-to-crochet"><strong>Learn to Crochet Course</strong></a></p><p>🔆<a href="https://www.marcymade.co/products/3-month-crochet-kit-club"></a><a href="https://www.marcymade.co/collections"><strong>Shop My Crochet Patterns</strong></a></p><p>🔆<a href="https://www.marcymade.co/products/3-month-crochet-kit-club"></a><a href="https://a.co/d/g0pfdnt"><strong>Grab The Crochet Snuggle Buddies Pattern Book</strong></a></p>

The Worms Aren’t in the Nest: Faith, Hustle, and Building Your Crochet Business
<p>In this episode, I’m sharing a mindset shift that honestly stopped me in my tracks: <strong>“God feeds the birds, but He doesn’t drop the worms in their nests.” </strong>It challenged me to think about where I’ve been waiting instead of moving, and I have a feeling I’m not the only one.</p><p>If you’ve been feeling stuck in your crochet business or creative journey, this episode is for you. I’m talking about the difference between trusting God’s provision and staying passive, and what it really looks like to partner faith with action.</p><p>I’ll encourage you to step out of the “nest,” take messy action, and start building the business and life you’ve been dreaming about, because the opportunities are out there, and you already have what you need to go get them.</p><p><strong>For a deeper dive into growing your handmade business, check out my new book, </strong><a href="https://a.co/d/ieT3jAX"><strong>Hooked on Growth</strong></a><strong>, which goes into much more detail on scaling!</strong></p><p>🔆<a href="https://www.marcymade.co/products/3-month-crochet-kit-club"><strong>Join Our Skool Community</strong></a></p><p><strong>🔆</strong><a href="https://www.marcymade.co/pages/learn-to-crochet"><strong>Learn to Crochet Course</strong></a></p><p>🔆<a href="https://www.marcymade.co/products/3-month-crochet-kit-club"></a><a href="https://www.marcymade.co/collections"><strong>Shop My Crochet Patterns</strong></a></p><p>🔆<a href="https://www.marcymade.co/products/3-month-crochet-kit-club"></a><a href="https://a.co/d/g0pfdnt"><strong>Grab The Crochet Snuggle Buddies Pattern Book</strong></a></p>
