Monica Thoune is the maker behind UP North Yarns. “I hand-dye luxurious natural fibers/yarns in the colors I see abounding in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. I gain inspiration from nature, the four seasons; gorgeous hues from my flower beds; the Great Lakes, and even the amazing colors I see in the rocks I collect from all over the UP.” There are botanical dyes using everything from avocado pits to dandelions, and the Great Lakes Inspired and Bird Series colorways are to dye for.
