did you know?
All of Alley Cat's bare yarn comes from suppliers who are third-party certified for standards in animal welfare and environmental stewardship (RWS and GOTS), or from traceable small family farms she has personally visited and that meet similar ethical standards. The Ontario Sock is produced 100% in the province!
-
locally produced
Alley Cat Yarns is based in Ottawa, Ontario. These absolutely stunning yarns are the exclusive work of a single dyer. All these amazing yarns are dyed with professional wash-fast acid dyes in a home studio.

vivid rich colours
Most of Alley Cat's unique, colour-rich yarns are dyed in non-repeatable colourways, so if you fall in love with one, don't wait (it may not be available again!). From the deep tones of the Silk Yak, or the ethereal echoes of colour in the mohair shawl bundles, these yarns are as much of a feast for the eyes as they are a treat for the hands.
