[ID: three screenshots from @/the_lemonade_shop on Instagram comparing their yarn to the described ripoff by Hobby Lobby’s Yarn Bee and a link to The Lemonade Shop Yarns. The first screenshot is of a skein of white yarn with rainbow flecks throughout it, compared to the Yarn Bee version, which looks almost exactly the same. The second is a white skein of yarn with one section dyed hot pink, yellow, and blue. The third is the same as the second, but black instead of white. The image on the link is of several cute cartoonish drawings of yarn-related items with happy faces on them: a pink hat, an orange skein of yarn wearing a pearl necklace, a yellow lemon-shaped skein of yarn, a green pair of socks, and a blue sweater with pink trim. /End ID.]

Hobby Lobby just released some new yarn designs - unsurprisingly they stole designs by a few different indie dyers, including lemonade shop, who’s been working on her speckled designs and rainbow splash color runs for a while (lemonade shop yarn is left, hobby lobby is right) :

She’s not the only designer they’ve stolen unique fiber patterns from, and the indie dyer community is reaching out to a few more dyers with very singular designs that hobby lobby has also taken, so I’ll try to update the list as I can.

Stolen art is stolen livelihood. Please support artists, small time crafters and creators as you can, and if you recognize someone else’s yarn in the hobby lobby release, be sure to include them and a link to their store. There isn’t much else that they can do to fight this unfortunately.
