We have been huge fans of Miss Babs' yarns for years so when the opportunity to stock their gorgeous yarns arose, we jumped at the chance! We will be slowly adding to the range of bases we stock, so if there's one you love, please let us know. We are the only stockist of Miss Babs in Australia.
So who is Miss Babs? It is a we, not just a me kind of business.
First of all, yes, there IS a Miss Babs! It is a name that came from Bab's husband, a Southerner, who uses it as an endearment. It seemed natural to use that name since other people had taken to calling her that as well. Over the years, the business has grown to include the efforts of 18 full-time and 3 part-time employees. Not everyone works here in the studio – but most do.
About Miss Babs
Babs and the Miss Babs Team have been dyeing beautiful yarns in their studio in the mountains of eastern Tennessee, USA since 2005. Miss Babs offers a wide variety of yarn bases from lace to chunky in a stunning range of colorways in semi-solids, repeatable variegated colors (Babettes), and one of a kind colors (Wild Irises). We love seeing the colors that occur in nature and playing off them to create yarns that evoke the emotional impact of the natural world.
Miss Babs Hand-Dyed Yarns and Fibers is a woman-owned business, employing a like-minded group of people who are hard-working and often hard-talking. They like loud music, telling their stories and the truth, supporting each other, sharing tears and laughter, all the while getting a good day's worth of work done. They join together to get things done, and are proud of their accomplishments.
