Heads Up! The Neon Nightmares Halloween Boxes with the 'extra trinkets and treasures' options are almost gone 👻 Since I want to make sure I've got all the tchatchkis sorted in time, there is a maximum on those variants. More info can be found at www.undercoverotter.com/neonnightmares
Undercover Otter

I dye yarn and sell it to people. Let's be real, this is just going to be me (Aiden) posting glamourshots of yarn in the hopes you throw money at me. Go buy yarn: www.undercoverotter.com I don't reply to DM's on here, use the contact form on my website.
Today is Non-Binary People’s Day. Shocker: I’m non-binary every day, not just when it’s convenient or easy for others. We deserve safety, dignity, joy, and the freedom to exist without explanation. Happy NB People’s Day to fellow NBs, queers and allies. Everyone else: ghosted. 👻
I love loud, vibrant color combos, but I’m also a sucker for a really good semi-solid. Shown top to bottom: Pom Blossom, Nug, Lavinia, Bone-Raker and Rosemary, all on Squirm. This combo is begging for some neon pastel colorblocking. Pattern suggestions? #handdyedyarn www.undercoverotter.com
Over the next couple of months, I'll be packing up a whole lot of yarn and heading out to fiber events across Europe! 15+16-08: FiberFolk, Roskilde, 🇩🇰 22+23-08: Wollcraft, Worms, 🇩🇪 12-09: Tegendraads, Wormerveer, 🇳🇱 27-09: Made in Wool, Court-Saint-Étienne, 🇧🇪 Will I see you at any of these?
Tour de Fleece is near, and this calls for more fiber in everyone's diet. 🤡 - 10% off 2 - 3 braids of fiber - 20% off 4+ braids This applies across all fibers, so you can mix. Want 4 different braids to ply into a glorious rainbow? Excellent choice, sensibility is optional. undercoverotter.com
🔥 Screaming Satsuma is extremely hot 🥵 You know what else is hot? My dye studio. 🤡 Due to the heatwave in NL, it is unsafe for me to work from the studio this week. As a result, orders placed June 22-28 will ship after June 28. #undercoverotter #knitting #handdyedyarn #crochet #yarn
Played around with some yarn at the studio and ended up making some starter sets. For when you can't be arsed to pick colors that work together: I've done it for you 😉 www.undercoverotter.com
Why is this so expensive? Don't you just buy this on Temu and then slap a label on it? I wish this was a joke, a thread of questions I get at festivals. 🧵 #undercoverotter #yarn #knitting #handdyedyarn #crochet
Every time I pack an order, I am amazed with the great eye for combinations you all have! I'm curious what these beauties will become. Let me know if you recognize your order 😉 Shown here are Enhanced Pet Biscuit, Aphrodite and Melinoë on Squirm. #undercoverotter #knitting #handdyedyarn #yarn
Mudbrick is a brown, plum and toxic green variegated colorway, inspired by a folk horror movie, about a man who inherits an old mudbrick house in his home village, only to find out that it is hiding secrets about his Slavic roots. #undercoverotter #yarn #knitting #handdyedyarn
I created the 'As Above, So Below' colorway in 2024 as a special edition, but let's be honest, she's just too good not to carry regularly! One end of the skein is dyed Screaming Satsuma coral, and the other half is a tonal golden yellow. #undercoverotter #yarn #knitting #handdyedyarn #crochet
Babes, beuties and bears, here's your annual Anti Fat-Tax Reminder: I offer 10% off any purchase of 6 or more skeins with the code ANTIFATTAX. Any six skeins. Any base. Any colorway. Because Fuck BMI. Have 10% off your sweater quantities. 💋 www.undercoverotter.com #yarn #knitting
🏳️🌈 Happy Pride Month 🏳️⚧️ Usually this is the time of year where I announce Queerdo collabs, fresh launches, and all sorts of exciting things... Instead, I'd like to announce that I am professionally, physically, socially, and mentally exhausted. 🤡 www.undercoverotter.com #yarn #knitting
Yarn Drop! Doing the post-event inventory this week felt like slugging through molasses. But it's done, and the yarn is now online for your grubby hands to steal away into your hovels, caves and cottages. Shown in the image is the ever delightful Aphrodite on Squirm. www.undercoverotter.com
30°C in the studio and I’m still wrestling with the final batches to take to @the.craft.circle Today turned into an improv dye session and I’m kind of obsessed with this chaotic mix of dark coral, aqua, and soft purple. #undercoverotter #handdyedyarn #yarn #knitting #crochet
A bright mixture of colors that should clash. but actually manage to play very well together. That's how I feel about Dead End Drive-In. Pinks, purples, blues and greens fight for your attention in this variegated colorway. #undercoverotter #yarn #knitting #crochet
Okay. So. I actually wanted to call this Purple Goddess Exoplanet, but I kept making the same typo over and over again. So I guess we're just gonna go with that now... Expolanet has a soft lilac to blue purple glow. Otherworldly and a little bit Eldritch if you ask me.
Empyrean is back in this recent update. I dyed a small collection of my favorite fluff, including this Dungeon Crawler Carl inspired colorway called Jelly Bomb. A rich Magenta pink with dark spots dyes on this delicious Merino/Silk/Cashmere laceweight yarn. #undercoverotter #yarn #handdyedyarn
Guess which absolute clown completely forgot to toggle the correct settings for a part of their shop update... That's right, it's me! Anyway, have some Gnomish Knock-Knock on Squirm. It's online now. I think. Probably. Why am I like this? #undercoverotter #handdyedyarn #yarn #knitting
For the latest shop update I also dyed some of the classics.! Jamie Lee is one of the original 20 colorways I started Undercover Otter with back in 2011. Creamy white yarn with neon speckles that give a little accent to your projects. Now available at www.undercoverotter.com
Our Battie colorway is named after one of the Cthonic Companions you can collect in the game Hades and gifted to Zagreus by Megaera. With a Citadel colored background, we've dusted these skeins with neon green and splashed some deep Meg blue on top for good measure. www.undercoverotter.com
Spring and summer always make me want to get my spinning wheel out. Just as a reminder, here's a snap of one of the fiber blends I have for you. This is Street Trash, and I love this purple/blue blend of chaos. These fibers are non-superwash, and work well for spinning, felting, or chunky weaving!
Had some train time and headspace to work on my #FlambéBeanie today. Still in love with the beautiful handdyed yarn by @undercoverotter.bsky.social #breien #KnittersOfBluesky
If you're looking for a deliciously scented soap to wash your projects and delicates with: I've got your back! Soak just arrived in the studio and I've been sniffing these babies for about an hour trying to figure out if my fave is Yuzu or Wild Mint. What's yours? undercoverotter.com/soak
My little ceramic penguin in the study always faces due south... buff.ly/ul0eRMj #undercoverotter #yarn #knitting #handdyedyarn #crochet
Meet CLOWNCORE, a sequin yarn that’s bold, bright, and ready to dazzle the masses. Perfect for anyone who wants their fiber to be just a tiny bit extra. www.undercoverotter.com #yarn #undercoverotter #knitting
Matango is one of the more nature based colorways I've dyed recently with reds, browns and moss greens. Based on a really great Toho Studios movie about mutagenic mushrooms, way before the Lasr o... https://www.instagram.com/p/DJ15QA5vG-0/
Another and Heirloom might not be the most Undercover Otter-esque colorways (aka: they look very neutral to me) but they work so well together! The soft tones and details in these skeins give me so... https://www.instagram.com/p/DJxG6mIzNS0/
And a quick reminder that we have a giveaway live on Instagram for those who want to come visit the Craft Circle in Enschede next week! Just today left to sign up and win 2 free tickets! www.instagram.com/p/DJqgMVFthQ...
It will come as absolutely no surprise for anyone that I've fallen in love hard with the new Kokkuri colorway. So hard that I had to make a wee little swatch to see how this baby knits up, and let me tell you this: she doesn't disappoint 🥵 www.undercoverotter.com
