    Veteran ran yarn companies

    Hi, I was wondering if anyone knew of any yarn companies or dyers that are owned by veterans or veterans spouses. My husband and I love supporting veteran ran companies, or thin blue line based companies. Thank you!!

    I found this website, but didn't see anything about yarn companies or dyers: https://www.veteranownedbusiness.com/

        I don't know about yarn, but I can highly recommend R. Riveter bags. I have one of their canvas and leather handbags, but I really want to buy one of their totes to use as a project tote/travel bag. https://www.rriveter.com/pages/ourstory

        They are handmade in the USA. The quality is very good. The company was started by a couple of military wives and has a pretty cool story. https://www.rriveter.com/pages/ourstory

          knitterlady13 I'd never heard of them & their items are gorgeous. I am such a sucker for leather. Sigh.

          Fantastic! Checking out their website now. I have had them on my bookmarks list for a long time, but I didn't realize they are veteran owned.

        My father, grandfather, uncle, brother in law, and father in law are all Navy veterans. My brother is an Army veteran and my son is a Marine! This is my shop, https://baroqoo.com/shop/AcornWillows I've edited because I have moved my shop to baroqoo!

        plainjaneknitter I'm also a sucker for leather. Their leather is beautiful, too! In fact, visiting the site reminded me that I should clean up my bag a bit.
