My name is Karin and I am the dyer and creative force behind Luxx Hand Dyed Yarns, which my husband Marco and I have founded together. He takes care of the website and shop. Together with our cats Maggie and Lina, who provide us with plenty of entertainment, we live in Munich, Germany.
A few years ago I started knitting again and ever since then I am very interested in yarns, colors and how yarn is being produced.
Some time ago I also stated dying yarn and became totally addicted. It is fascinating to experiment with color, seeing how the same color differs when applied to different yarns and how wonderful hand-dyed yarns turn out once they are knitted. Each new yarn is beautiful in itself and will find a person for whom it is the perfect color – no matter if it is was developed by pure chance or strictly mixed using a recipe.
On my way many people have given me advice and support which I am very thankful for.
I hope that my yarns make many people happy!
