2026, yarn

It’s been all about the yarn and knitting so far this year. I’ve been adding and swapping out yarn at the shop. Working to bring you yarn options – colors, textures, fiber types.

The little shop has come a long way in the past year. When Fiber Fate opened as a brick & mortar shop in 2024, there was one brand, Fiber Fate – hand dyed and handspun. Since then, the yarn selection has been growing. Fiber Fate offers local yarn from four Austin area hand dyers and yarn producers – Yarn Matter, Dyeon Yarns, Rowdy Ranch Custom Yarns, and Gothfarm Yarns. Most recently added small batch hand dyed from Terrapin Fiberworks. Lovely organic cotton dyed in Maryland.

At the beginning of 2026, more yarn! A quick influx of colors and textures by including yarns from Queensland, Lana Gatto, and Elsbeth Lavold. I’ve also currently got British yarn from World of Wool – Distilled DK tweed and Big Bang super bulky (on sale). Paused there for a moment; taking some time to evaluate next steps. The one thing for sure is there will be more yarn options coming soon.

I am so happy about the way Fiber Fate is shaping up. 2026 is off to a very good start. Starting super small is challenging on multiple levels. In my case, particularly in the physical sense. Those of you who have visited the shop in-person know, space is limited. It’s a juggling balance act to fit all the yarns, notions, bags, fiber, etc. in and have it be comfortable and nice to shop. So far so good! Challenging, but fun. See the organizational feat at 503 S. Loop 4, Buda, TX 78610. It’s not perfect, but I’m kinda proud of it.
