About Us

Our Story

At Gauge Dye Works, we specialize in creating self-striping yarn that brings joy and creativity to every knitting project. Founded by husband-and-wife team Emmett and Catherine—both engineers—we saw an opportunity to reinvent the way self-striping yarn is dyed. With a passion for problem-solving, we developed our own innovative techniques to create striping patterns that are hard to achieve by other means.

Our yarns are crafted with purpose. Each colourway is thoughtfully designed for specific projects, from socks to hats, shawls, or baby sweaters. This means that every skein not only looks beautiful but gives you perfect stripes tailored to your project.

With our technical backgrounds, we bring precision and care to every step of the process. We are committed to making yarn that inspires creativity, helps tell your story, and adds a touch of magic to every stitch.

Thank you for being a part of our journey. We can’t wait to see what you create with our yarn!
