Born from a "Wait, That's Genius" Moment
Every great fiber arts tool starts with a problem. Ours started with a colorwork sweater and a friend named Lexi.
Picture this: I'm working on my first colorwork sweater, carefully managing floats and trying not to mess up the pattern. It's going well—until it isn't. My sweater body keeps twisting. I keep stopping to lift the whole thing and spin it around. Lift, spin, knit. Lift, spin, knit. My rhythm? Gone. My wrists? Unhappy.
Then I spotted Lexi across the room, working on her own sweater. Except... she wasn't stopping. She wasn't lifting. She was just knitting.
The secret? A lazy susan tucked under her project, quietly spinning as she worked on the sleeves. The sweater body rotated smoothly with her needles. No stopping. No frustration. Just flow.
Mind. Blown.
We started talking. Then brainstorming. "What if we added sides so projects don't roll off?" "Could this work for managing multiple yarn cakes?" "Why doesn't this exist already?!"
Before we knew it, we were sketching logos, planning a website, building an Instagram presence, and figuring out how to manufacture this thing. Because if we needed it, other fiber artists definitely needed it too.
Sweater Spinner isn't just a product—it's a love letter to everyone who's ever sighed heavily while untangling their project at 11 PM.
