Review, Bonne Marie Burns’ Chic Knits blog, “Oh the lovely” Renegade Craft Fair Chicago
“The Renegade Craft Fair lining Division St from my street all the way down to Damen Ave – about a 1/4 mile of booth after booth of the most incredible indie-crafted adornments, clothing, prints, and best of all, yarn…
One of my favorite people, hailing all the way from Birmingham, AL, was at the far end of the fair, in a booth packed with what I can only describe as DEE-licious yarn!
Mercedes Tarasovich-Clark, and her Kitchen Sink Dyeworks, were rockin’ the Renegade, assisted by the lovely Kristen Rengren and I knew when I had to wait to get in the booth, something special was going on.
Mercedes has a very fine-tuned sense of color, with subtlies to her work that set it apart from the crowd. I could picture in my mind almost everything in front of me as a garment or sock and that I didn’t walk away with the whole thing was only because I was on foot!”

Review, Kristen Rengren’s Retro Knit blog, “Covetous Round-Up: Renegade Craft Fair Chicago”
“Kitchen Sink does really lovely work, and it was a pleasure to spend a day surrounded by her lovely yarns. This picture of the booth doesn’t do nearly enough justice to the beautiful yarn within…”

Review, ReadyMade magazine blog, by Amy Palanjian, “Renegade Recap”
“Mercedes Tarasovich-Clark of Kitchen Sink Dyeworks in Birmingham, Alabama literally dyes the yarn in her kitchen sink—a process that blows my mind since all of her wool is in variagated colors. There was a range of wool, from merino to part cashmere and bamboo, and each seemed like just the thing you’d want to have around in one form or another in the colder months. If you’re a knitter and you are interested in making that cuff, Mercedes has the pattern on her website, as well as many other great tutorials.”

“Mercedes was also at the show with her Kitchen Sink Dyeworks yarns, whose mouth-puckering colors were even more tempting in person. I fell hard.”
