Hi, I’m Melissa — the maker, dyer, and designer behind Storyteller Stitchery.
I blend my love of books, nature, and handcraft to create small-batch yarns, threads, and needlepoint kits.
Every colorway is inspired by a story, every piece dyed by hand in my Arizona studio, and everything is made to bring a little magic to your making.
Yummy colors!! A joy to stitch with on 18 mesh!! Looks amazing!!
It was a gift for my daughter. She loves the color and texture.
I love love love the threads I ordered. The colors are vibrant and the threads are so soft. I haven't found anything like these anywhere else. I will definitely be ordering more.
Beautiful colors
I love the yarn and have already started a pair of arm warmers with the Lonely Islands colorway!
Lovely color and so soft!
Love the colors but haven’t started anything yet. Looking forward to finding the perfect pattern.
This yarn is absolutely gorgeous. Can't wait to find the pattern for it!
While I am finishing another project, I've knitted the gague swatch and this is going to make an amazing sweater. The color is outside my normal color spectrum which I'm really excited about.
Absolutely gorgeous. Photos don’t do justice.
The colors are more vibrant in person. The fiber is beautiful and soft. I’m looking for a carder to add just a bit of silk.
The colors are beautiful.
