Our Story: Lavender Road
Our Story: Lavender Road
Fox & Owl Dye Lab | The Wooly Caterpillar
Every small business has a story. Ours just happens to be written in yarn.
Nobody ever said the road to building a small business would be straight, smooth, or particularly well-paved. There are unexpected turns, a few bumps, the occasional detour, and plenty of moments when you wonder if you remembered to bring a map.
Lavender Road is a little piece of our journey, captured in color.
The soft, dusty lavender comes straight from the background of our Wooly Caterpillar logo—a color that's become part of who we are. Winding through it are streaks of deep charcoal, inspired by The Owl in our Reserve Collection and representing the road we've traveled to get here. Sometimes smooth, sometimes a little messy, but always moving forward.
Together, they create a delicate, slightly moody colorway that's both gentle and full of character. Soft lavender provides a beautiful backdrop while unexpected flashes of charcoal add contrast, movement, and just enough drama to keep things interesting.
Perfect for shawls, sweaters, hats, and cozy accessories, Lavender Road is a reminder that the most beautiful things don't always come from following a straight line.
Here's to the winding roads, the unexpected adventures, and the people who come along for the ride. We're so glad you're part of ours.
