I felt joy when my oldest said he would join me this weekend. He was the first to help me when I started doing festivals before he went off to college. Now that he's home for the summer, I said hey wanna come with me and he said sure. You know how flaky kids are so I didn't ask twice.

Fast forward to entering our hotel, I turn up the heat as I normally do and I get a "hey lady, ma'am, what are you doing?" Sir, how do thou question thine antics when madame is away from home. I wanted to find a white glove so I could challenge him to a duel.

So what started out as joy turned into going from 87 to a high of 70 (I feel like I'm freezing) and a partner in crime that's asleep already. And he ate all of my fig newton's.

Six years ago, Sassy Black Yarns was just an idea, a dream, and a whole lot of faith. Today, we’re celebrating 6 years of bold color, joyful stitches, fiber friends, festivals, subscription boxes, and every single person who has supported this journey along the way.

As a veteran-owned, Black woman-owned yarn business, Sassy Black Yarns has always been about more than yarn. It’s about creativity, community, confidence, and making space for color with a little sass. Thank you for every order, every kind word, every booth visit, every share, and every project made with our yarn.

Cheers to 6 years of Sassy Black Yarns — and we are just getting started. 🧶✨

✨ Colorway of the Month: Highlighter

The kids are getting out of school and it's time to put the highlighters away — but not before we immortalize them in yarn form. 💛

Highlighter is a loud, neon-bright, zero-chill colorway that practically glows in the skein. It's the yarn equivalent of that one pen at the bottom of your purse that still works after three years and a laundry cycle. Knit it. Crochet it. Wear it where you want to be seen from space. No notes.

Bonus: it photographs INCREDIBLY well, so if you've been waiting for a colorway to make your Instagram feed pop, congratulations — your moment has arrived.

Freedom has never come without a price. Memorial Day is not merely a date on the calendar; it is a moral checkpoint. Let us live our lives in a way that is worthy of those who never had the chance to finish theirs. Wishing you a meaningful Memorial Day as we take a moment to remember and honor those who died serving our nation. All gave some; some gave all.
