5 Benefits to Collaborating with Me
✨Showcasing Your Unique Yarn: Collaborating with me as a knitwear designer provides an excellent opportunity to showcase your distinct yarn in a whimsically fun pattern. It's a chance for your colors to shine, attracting a broader audience and creating a memorable connection with knitters.
✨Exclusive Marketing Exposure: The knitting community is always on the lookout for fresh and exciting yarns. Working together on a knitting pattern allows us to create exclusive content and generate buzz around your brand.
✨Professional Pattern Presentation: With my expertise in knitwear design, I ensure that your yarn is presented in a polished and professional manner. A well-designed pattern not only highlights the beauty of your yarn but also adds value for customers, making it more enticing and encouraging sales.
✨Engaging Social Media Content: A collaborative project provides ample opportunities for engaging social media content. Sharing the process, from selecting yarn colors to showcasing the finished project, allows both of us to leverage our social media platforms, reaching a wider audience and building excitement around your yarn.
✨Establishing a Lasting Partnership: Beyond a single project, our collaboration can pave the way for a lasting partnership. As we work together on various patterns, we can build a strong connection between your brand and my designs, creating a go-to combination for knitters seeking beautiful yarn and engaging patterns.

Collaboration FAQs
I'm always interested in collaborations with indie dyers and love using new yarns for my designs. If you're interested in talking about a future collaboration, please submit the request above and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.
Because my current pipeline of scheduled collaborations is quite long, it's likely that any collaboration availability will be several months out (which I suppose is a good problem to have!).
Currently, my design collaboration books are booked about 8-12 months out with work.
Because I am fairly booked with existing designs and I have a young family, I have to be selective with my collaboration commitments, and therefore, I cannot accept every invitation.
I typically like to work with the following:
- Dyers/Makers who have engaged with me frequently on Instagram
- Independent dyers (smaller scale)
- Dyers who focus on tonals or semi-solids, as this works best for colorwork
- Dyers who want to offer curated kits to go with the pattern release
- Dyers invested in co-promoting the project together
If this sounds like you, please reach out using the contact form above!
While it's not a requirement for a collaboration, I do appreciate when I can use a yarn support model, as this tends to be the best way to co benefit from the collaboration.
Yes! I love when my dyer collaboration partner can create and offer yarn kits with the pattern. Typically, I like to plan for initial kit availability for test knitters, and then full kit availability aligned with the pattern release date.
For sure! That's the best part about collaborating - getting to both be equally excited about promoting the new thing!
Historically, most of my collaboration releases include mulitple "collab" posts on Instagram, as well as co-linking websites in 1-2 release emails.
At this time, due to my bandwidth and the lead time required to design, print, and ship custom Doodle Decks, I do not offer collaborations on this product.
