I am Neli
Passionate hand dyer, mother of two wonderful boys, and creative in everything to do with fibers, colors, and yarn.
My love for textile art has been with me my entire life. Growing up in a region with a deep tradition of flax processing, I was surrounded by spinning wheels, old looms, and the knowledge of past generations from an early age.
As a young girl, I was allowed to try out the spinning wheel myself – and later, at textile school, I made my first attempts at weaving on the impressive room-sized loom.
During my training as a textile merchant, I gained my first experience in dyeing – and discovered my true passion: working with wool, dyes, and natural materials.
What began as Colordrip Yarn soon outgrew its original name. In 2020, during the pandemic, I officially founded my company, Neli's Wool Workshop —under which my brand Colordrip Yarn—made by Neli proudly stands today.
Today, I dye yarns with dedication and a keen sense for nuance and quality—always with the goal of creating unique strands that invite knitting, dreaming, and being creative.
In addition to dyeing, I also regularly publish my own knitting designs – inspired by everyday life, nature, and the joy of genuine handcraft.
