indigo dragonfly


I made a quick stop in Bracebridge on my way home last Thursday to pick up Sushi for supper.....and while they were making it, I wandered over to Muskoka Yarn Connection. Looking at pretty yarns is such a great way to burn a few minutes.....and burn through some money, too, if you're not careful!


Luckily I came home with just this one skein. I fell in love with the colours, the feel of the yarn....and the unique name didn't hurt either. Now I just need to decide what to make with it.

This was my first introduction to Indigo Dragonfly yarn....and I was excited to discover that she is practically right in my own backyard. I think a little road trip might be in order this summer....


You can see some of the other colours and read their fun names on flickr here.....and there are also lots of limited edition colours on her blog. Oh, so pretty...

  1. Thanks for the intro to indigo dragonfly - liking their stuff and website. I see they're in Haliburton Highlands - where are they more specifically? I'm thinking field trip this summer when at cottage. :)

    1. hi Allyson! Not sure exactly where in HH, but just drop her a line...

      I also think there are lots of Buffy (the Vampire Slayer) quotes in some of the names, too. V. fun! :-)

    2. Allyson,

      We're just outside of West Guilford. About 15 minutes from both Carnarvon and the village of Haliburton. Just give us a call, or send an email (emails usually get answered before phone messages) and we'd be happy to have you come by!

  4. Hi Jen! I just started a shawl (from the WestKnits Club on Ravelry) and I am also using one of Indigo dragonfly skeins. I got mine at Needles in the Hay in Peterborough and my colourway is called "Five Cents a Loaf", reds/purples kind of thing. It's lovely yarn as I know you also know now. Your colourway is lovely.
