About Ravelution Yarn
Ravelution Yarn was born in the fall of 2021 and grew out of an obsession with vibrant colour and a fascination for all things fibre. My love affair with hand dyed yarn started almost a decade ago but it wasn't until a dear friend sent me a news article about a woman who started dyeing fibre in her house that I even considered doing it myself. From the moment I dyed my first skein, I was hooked and felt like I had finally found my passion, my art, my ikigai...I was home.
About Me
Hi! My name is Mélanie, and I'm the face behind Ravelution Yarn!
Besides being an indie dyer, I'm a mother of two, a wife of one, a daughter, a sister, and a friend to hopefully many. I love knitting, sewing, painting, camping, my ever-growing collection of plants, and just about anything fibre related!
What started as a passion for creating beautiful hand-dyed yarn has grown into something I could only have dreamed of. I'm now taking the next exciting step in my fibre journey with the opening of Purls Fibre Boutique & Studio, my very own yarn shop in Orleans, Ontario!
Purls will be a home for Ravelution Yarn alongside a thoughtfully curated collection of yarns, tools, books, and accessories, as well as a welcoming space for knitters, crocheters, and fibre enthusiasts to learn, create, and connect.
I'm incredibly honoured to be part of this wonderful fibre community, and so grateful for every purchase, like, comment, follow, and kind word of encouragement along the way. Your support has helped turn a little yarn-dyeing dream into something much bigger, and I can't wait to share this next chapter with all of you!
​
Thank you for being part of my fibre journey!
India & Penny
Meet India and Penny.
India (left) is a feisty 18 yr old lady, who loves people but dislikes other furry friends. She's my shadow and always wants to be on the yarn, regardless if that's convenient for me or not. She's getting on with age and she's now deaf, and maybe a little senile, but it doesn't seem to stop her from creating a little chaos!
​
Unfortunately, we lost Penny (right) our newest adoptee who came to us January 2023. She was large but not so in charge. Penny was passive, a little standoffish, and had a wicked appetite which we tried to keep in check. Fun fact, she was polydactyl, meaning she had 2 more fingers on each of her paws, even the back ones, which is apparently quite rare. She hated to get her claws trimmed, so it was extra fun trying to trim 8 more! We miss her very much but she's in a much better place now.
