I had the privilege of photographing the most delicious goods the other day: various hand-dyed yarns by Seattle’s Yarn Maven, Desiree of Stricken Smitten. This yarn is just yummy. I had heard great things about it from knitter friends of mine, but when I saw the real goods, I was indeed stricken, and then smitten. This is the kind of stuff you want to pile on the floor in a big mound and roll around in.
Ahem.
(I really did NOT do this to your yarn, Desiree. I promise!)
In any case, she had asked for a few glamor shots of her goods, for potential publication, and I was only too happy to oblige. And if you are a knitter, I highly recommend picking up some of her luxury skeins at her Etsy shop, linked above. You won’t be disappointed. This is high-quality stuff, and I can only hope that I portrayed this in the following photos. She pretty much gave me artistic freedom with this shoot, so I went nuts.
Here are, as always, a few of my favorite shots from the shoot! Enjoy!

Great looking yarn! I ordered a skein of the northern lights sock yarn.
Yummy! Only Jackie could make yarn look decidedly edible.
Hehe, you know I’ve been stalking you waiting for these pics to show up - I was sure you’d have fun with it, so I’m really glad it went well! (Her yarn is just yummy - I’m actually knitting with a skein of Sinful right now!)
Hahahah, Heather. We might do some more colorline “product” shots in the future. These were just the glamour shots for now. I hope to work with these products again, as they are so beautiful. Thanks again for the referral. She’s great!
This yarn is gorgeous! I could knit some luscious things with these. bookmarking her etsy store for future yarn purchases
