Alan dyes from Charlottesville, VA, and every colorway he makes starts with a story. Fantasy, sci-fi, children's classics — the names tell you exactly where he's been. Fangorn. Sleepy Hollow. You're a Mean One. Mother's Blue. These aren't decorative titles. They're the books on his shelf, translated into color.

What makes his yarn worth paying attention to: Alan works from CMYK values the way a printer builds color — layering up to six separate dyes to land exactly where he wants. A colorway that looks like a simple solid might have as much complexity underneath as a multicolor skein. You're paying for precision, and it shows.

The collection includes sock, DK, and worsted weight skeins across eight colorways. Self-striping options are hand-wound from extra-long hanks, one section at a time.

Alan's color notes:

• Snow in the Pines: The winters get longer. The snow heavier, covering the pines...
• Fangorn: Transport yourself to the lush forests of Middle Earth with this "Fangorn" inspired colorway. Named after the beloved character Treebeard, this skein features a variety of shades of green, reminiscent of the greenery found in J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings."
• You're a Mean One:  What's that one book you always read while growing up? I bet you I know which one. "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" It's such an iconic story and a great lesson for everyone. Let's introduce "You're a Mean One"! Red Truck Fiber's first self-striping yarn!
• Gold Ring: What is the most iconic thing about the Lord of the Rings? The Ring of course!
• Based on Spinning Silver by Naomi Novik
  • Mother's Blue: Her sickness was the last straw. Seeing her mother sick and unable to provide food or medicine for her drove Miryem to become the moneylender of the family. And it was her mother's kindness that brought Wanda and her brothers further into the family.
  • Wanda Blue: A constant help. Wanda is hired by Miryem to help work off her father's debt to Miryem. But, as time goes by, she and her brothers become a part of Miryem's family.
  • Miryem Blue:"I can spin silver into gold." That declaration set off a series of events she could not control.Does she fulfill the challenges the Staryk King sets before her?
