Meet Detroit Grit, our Detroit Lions-inspired special edition colorway, offered as part of our first-ever Bibi Yarn Dyed-to-Order event.
Timed perfectly for peak game-day energy, Detroit Grit is our winter pick-me-up and a tribute to Detroit football pride. Bold, resilient, and full of hometown spirit, this colorway is designed to celebrate the grit that defines both our city and our makers. This exclusive colorway is available by pre-order only and will be hand-dyed in small batches once the order window closes, making each skein truly special.
Choose from two of our beloved bases:
-
Bibi Twist (Fingering Weight) — perfect for socks, shawls, lightweight sweaters, and accessories
- Bibi Aran (Aran Weight) — ideal for cozy garments, hats, and statement knits
Pre-orders will begin shipping and be available for local pickup at our Livonia, MI store the week of February 15. Quantities are limited, secure yours while you can.
Whether you’re casting on during game-day weekends or stitching something meaningful for your handmade wardrobe, Detroit Grit is made to carry Detroit pride into every project.
Each skein of Bibi Yarn is lovingly hand-dyed by Swaran, owner of Michigan Fine Yarns, as a tribute to her mother’s inspiration. This line embodies a blend of passion, heritage, and the art of yarn-making. Learn more about our founder's story and the origins of our brand here.
Hand-dyed yarns have subtle variations that cause colors to vary from skein to skein. As this is a natural part of the process, please note there may be differences between the yarn images shown and the yarn received. To counteract this, we encourage all crafters to buy enough yarn for their entire project at one time.
