Zsofi of Bilum Yarns fell in love with hand-dyed yarns when she took up knitting and crocheting again after her third child was born. She decided she had to experiment with dyeing yarn for herself right away. EARLY DAYS Zsofi’s first attempts at dyeing yarn were with with food colouring. “It was a good exercise since I could only get it in yellow, red and blue meaning I could learn a lot about mixing colours. Dyeing gradients was almost immediately something that moved me. I experimented a lot until I came to use blanks – we knit up all the yarns to blanks first ourselves. My speciality is dyeing gradients. I am really proud of the gradients I dye; I aim for a real colour flow, without stripes and sudden…

The Spiderlace Bag is one of my recent patterns and it’s special to me because it takes the design elements from my award-winning complex Spiderlace Maxi Dress and combines them into a small, everyday usable item. It’s an achievable project that is independent of body size and shape, so it’s accessible to everyone. (Or at least, because it’s still a bit tricky, everyone with some intermediate crochet skills and an adventurous spirit.) The Spiderlace Maxi Dress was my first crochet dress design, and I purposefully made it complex to impress the judges of the 2018 Crochet Guild of America Chainlink Conference Design Competition. I was ‘dressing to impress’ so to speak, and didn’t worry about how hard it would be to write the pattern, or for others to make. Silly…
