Yarn Support

Miss Babs loves working with independent designers to introduce new knit and crochet patterns in our yarns. 

We ask designers interested in using our yarn for an upcoming pattern to send us a one-page PDF including a sketch, swatch, and description of the garment to helen@missbabs.com, together with a link to other designs you've created and your mailing address. The more specific details you can provide about your design the better! We've put together a quick PDF checklist that you can use to help prepare your pattern submission.

(Pro tip: we love one-skein wonders and aren't big fans of seed stitch or reverse stockinette. Projects that are adjustable to the amount of yarn in a skein or will work for multiple gauges are also favorites!)

If we think the design is a good match for our yarns, we'll discuss colorways with you, potentially including developing new colorways, and then send yarn.

We are happy to provide discount codes for test knitters and crocheters - just ask. 

We ask for you to let us know 2-3 weeks in advance of releasing the pattern, so we have time to make sure the yarn is available and so we can coordinate promotion of your pattern.

A quick note about generative AI tools: we don't use them in our marketing and ask that patterns made with our yarns don't use generative AI in the images, pattern, or descriptive/marketing copy.

If you are a knitting or crochet designer with an idea you want to share, we hope you'll get in touch!
