Are you a designer looking for yarn support for a project or pattern? Let's talk!

I am enthusiastic about collaborating with designers, so send me an email if you have a pattern proposal or want to brainstorm about a project. I'm all ears.

As a designer myself who understands that many designers have other jobs besides designing, I know that balancing pattern design with other life obligations can be challenging. That's why I'm willing to work with each designer to develop a collaboration structure that works for them, whether that means flexibility with publication dates, more or less input on design and/or yarn choices, or a helping hand for those newer to designing.

I am deeply passionate about the beauty that we bring into the world as fiber artists, and collaborating with others is one of my favorite ways to live out that passion.

At this point in my business, my ability to offer yarn support is limited, as I seek to grow in a way that is sustainable. All pattern proposals will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis to be eligible for yarn support, and the level of support will be at my sole discretion.

The likelihood that I will be able to provide free yarn support is higher for 1-2 skein projects. For larger, multi-skein projects, yarn support may be available for free or at wholesale prices.

If you would like to design a pattern with my yarn, or have questions about yarn support/pricing, please send me an email at ethanpyle@refractedlightfiberarts.com.

I look forward to being able to offer yarn support more generously as my business grows.

I understand how important pattern promotion is for independent designers, so I am happy to promote patterns that are designed with my yarn. If you design a pattern with my yarn, I will promote your pattern is some or all of the following ways: in social media posts, in my email newsletters, by offering pattern kits, at trade fairs and yarn festivals, by word of mouth.
