Copy of About Us

Welcome to Gauge Dye Works, where curiosity, story telling, and yarn come together! We're a husband and wife team with a passion for crafting delightful self-striping yarn for fellow knitting nerds. Our mission is to infuse every skein with colours and patterns that spark joy and ignite your creative projects.

Our Story

Gauge began with the thought "there must be a better way" when we learned how labour intensive it is to dye self-striping yarn. 

Being engineers by profession, we approached self-striping yarn as a challenge waiting for a more efficient solution. We envisioned a process that would not only produce stunning and intricate color patterns but also streamline the dyeing process to reduce waste and maximize precision.

After extensive research and countless experiments, we developed a proprietary dyeing method that was both efficient and precise, allowing us to create self-striping yarn that exceeded our expectations. Our engineering mindset drove us to optimize every aspect, from color selection to dye distribution, resulting in yarn that offers a seamless and delightful knitting experience.

  • Customization & Variety: We offer a wide array of colors and patterns, allowing you to find the perfect match for your creative vision.

  • Optimized Dyeing Process: Our engineering background led us to develop a method that optimizes the dyeing process, ensuring consistent and striking patterns in every skein.
  • Precision and Accuracy: We use engineering principles to maintain precision in color application, guaranteeing that each stripe aligns perfectly with the design.
  • Sustainable Innovation: Engineering also guided our commitment to sustainability, enabling us to reduce water and dye wastage, making our self-striping yarn an environmentally conscious choice.
