Part of the fun of Knit Stars will be pulling back the curtain on some of the most magical, yarny places in the universe. One of these ultimate fiber destinations is the Koigu farm in Ontario, Canada, where Taiu Landra, her mother Maie, and her daughter, Kersti, create color masterpieces every day.

The Knit Stars production team recently traveled to Southeastern Quebec to film hot indie dyers Julie and Jean-Francois Asselin. This creative power couple is every bit as irresistible as their lovely, hand-dyed yarns! They gave us a tour of their dye process and shared a wealth of information.
