The 'Woof Yarn Collection' from Ancient Arts Fibre Crafts is a special set of hand-dyed yarns with colors that take inspiration from the coats of different dog breeds. The colorful yarn collection includes styles named and dyed after the looks of beloved dogs like Pugs, Basset Hounds, Golden Retrievers and Dalmations.
A portion of the proceeds from sales of the Woof Yarn Collection is put towards the Best Friends Animal Society, which helps to care for stray and abandoned dogs. Ancient Arts Fibre Crafts also makes the Meow Yarn Collection, which follows the same premise, but with inspiration taken from cats.
Many young Millennials are now taking up wholesome hobbies like knitting, which has inspired many makers to brand their products eccentrically as a way to differentiate their yarns from those made by other producers.
