Mary's Retiring!

After an incredible journey in the yarn dyeing business, I’m retiring at the end of this year. It’s been a rewarding experience, and I’m ready to pursue new passions.

My website, marygavanyarns.com will shut down in early December. I’m currently building a website for my continued passion for textiles I will announce in the coming months.

In the meantime, I will fulfill orders while supplies last.

I am truly grateful to have had the opportunity to work with many of you. Thank you for your support, and I wish you all the best.
