About

Hi :) I’m James Chandler, but people may know me best as James Makes Things from Instagram! Hairdresser by day, I live and work in the beautiful Cotswolds and run my small batch hand dyed yarn business JAMESMAKESYARN from home. I adore all things colour and my desire is to always create one-of-a-kind colourways for colour fanatics, filled with speckles and unique colour combinations. You will be sure to find at least one pop of neon in every colourway I dye and the more bold and bright it is the better! JAMESMAKESYARN is home to not only beautiful and fun hand dyed yarns in a multitude of bases, but also sock knitting patterns, hand knitted accessories and project notions. At the heart of JAMESMAKESYARN is of course inclusivity and I strive on a daily basis to ensure it is open and welcome to everyone. Being a part of the LGBTQIA+ community myself, it is very important to me for JAMESMAKESYARN to be a safe space for everyone to enjoy. All of my yarn and patterns, now and in the future will be available to anyone and will not be gender specific or marketed to any particular gender or size.
