Blue Brick Yarns
The Blue Brick yarns are lovingly hand-dyed ombré yarns, each of which has been inspired by a photograph we took ourselves. The yarn and the photo are sold together, to make opening your package that much sweeter!
We are a husband-wife team living in Toronto, Canada, owned by 2 cats. All our yarn is dyed out of a smoke-free, pet-friendly home
FAQ
Where can I buy your yarns?
We are available in our online shop and at Yarns Untangled here in Toronto.
Can I get larger copies of the photos?
Sure! Write to us and let us know that you’d like an enlargement of the image shipped with your yarn. We will give you a price list and you can choose your size.
Will you do custom work from one of my photos?
Alas, we are not equipped to take on custom orders, but more than that, we feel a connection to the places and colours in the photos we take, and don’t feel we could replicate that for other images. We never use stock photos or google images for the same reason.

I have one small request. Your photos are so lovely, and you send such a lovely print. The problem is that the prints get a bit bent in transit due to being packed with the skeins. Could you put a sheet of card stock cardboard with the photo so they come without wrinkles? I know this is more work but I would pay and extra dollar per skein to have the picture come without blemishes.

Do you have any non-working yarn? I am allergic.
