About

Hi, I'm Charity, founder and dyer behind Brine Dyeworks.

I'm an avid knitter, a colour enthusiast, and the creator of colourways designed to look as beautiful in the finished project as they do in the skein.

Brine Dyeworks began in 2019 after I took a yarn painting class at my local yarn shop while searching for colours I couldn't quite find outside of my imagination. What started as a curiosity quickly became an obsession, and before long I had dyed far more yarn than I could ever knit myself.

Today, I create thoughtfully layered colourways for knitters and crocheters who love depth, nuance, and timeless colour.

My signature dye style uses closely related hues to build rich, low-contrast colourways that appear tonal or semi-solid from afar but reveal subtle shifts in hue, value, and saturation up close. The result is yarn that adds visual interest without overwhelming a project, creating fabrics with depth, movement, and versatility.

As someone who prefers knitting garments, I design colours with finished pieces in mind. Whether you're working intricate lace, textured cables, or simple stockinette, Brine Dyeworks colourways are created to support the knitting rather than compete with it. They are designed to knit consistently across sweater quantities, creating cohesive finished projects without unexpected pooling or flashing. Every colourway is dyed in small batches with an emphasis on consistency, depth, and long-term wearability.

My inspiration comes from favourite meals, films, changing seasons, and the small details that often go unnoticed in everyday life. My goal is to translate those moments into colourways that feel sophisticated, wearable, and endlessly knitworthy.

Thank you for being here and for allowing Brine Dyeworks to be part of your next project!
