Meet Heated Rivalries, our Local Yarn Shop Day–exclusive Dyed-to-Order event, celebrating Michigan pride in every stitch.
Inspired by one of the most iconic rivalries in college sports, this special release features two bold, spirited colorways, honoring both University of Michigan and Michigan State fans alike. Meet Ann Arbor Rd ( for Universtiy of Michigan) and East Lansing Green (for Michigan State). Whether you're celebrating a championship season or repping your roots year-round, these skeins are made to carry your team spirit from game day to every day.
Dyed locally in our own Bibi Yarn and available for a limited time, each skein will be hand-dyed in small batches once the order window closes, making your yarn as special as the rivalry it represents. It’s our way of bringing together community, craft, and a little friendly competition for Local Yarn Shop Day.
From game-day casting ons to pieces you’ll reach for all season long, Heated Rivalries brings your school pride into every stitch.

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.
