πΈ The Rebrand Begins: A Fresh Chapter for Sweetpea Cyd’s Inspirations
Twisting Fiber. Challenging Limits. Inspiring Souls.
Hi Sweetpeas,
Today, I’m inviting you into something close to my heart — the official rebrand of Sweetpea Cyd’s Inspirations. This has been a labor of love, born from months of reflecting, untangling, and dreaming about what this space truly means to me… and to you.
It’s more than just yarn and stitches — it’s about creating with heart. π
π Why a Rebrand?
Over time, I’ve realized that what lights me up most is inspiring others — not just through finished fiber projects, but through the process, the learning, and even the messy middle. I want this to be a place where fiber artists of all levels feel encouraged, seen, and supported.
So I’m weaving inspiration into everything I do — not as an afterthought, but as the very thread that holds it all together.
And honestly? I’m really loving this new rhythm I’ve created for myself.
It’s not just about checking boxes or sticking to a schedule — it’s about carving out time to breathe, to be present, and to truly enjoy the process again.
There are a few more things I’ll be sharing later in the blog, but I’ll say this:
Giving myself permission to slow down and refocus has gifted me something I didn’t even know I was missing — a renewed sense of self, and a soft, steady encouragement that greets me every time I pick up my hook, draft fiber, or sit down to write.
This rebrand is more than a new name or a visual refresh. It’s a return to the heart of why I started this journey in the first place — and a new beginning for what’s to come.
✨ What’s New?
If you’re reading this — you are in the right spot. π§‘
This space was made for you: the maker, the dreamer, the fiber lover who’s just looking for a bit of inspiration and a soft place to land.
With this rebrand, I wanted to create more than just a YouTube refresh — I wanted to build a cozy, intentional community. A place where you feel encouraged, whether you’re picking up a hook for the first time or spinning yarn between sips of your morning coffee.
Here’s what’s new and blooming:
π» The Blog
This is your home base. A space where I’ll share tutorials, fiber reflections, behind-the-scenes thoughts, and the kind of encouragement we all need from time to time. Think of it like sitting down with a friend who totally gets your creative soul.

π Patreon Community
If you’d like to support this creative journey and connect on a deeper level, I’ve created a special space just for us on Patreon. It’s a cozy, members-only corner where I’ll be sharing early content, behind-the-scenes peeks, printable goodies, and exclusive fiber-filled surprises.
This past week, I’ve taken some time to reflect on my Patreon pricing.
When I first launched, I may have set the tiers a bit higher than what truly aligned with the heart of this space. After giving it some thought, I’ve made a few intentional changes:
✨ I’ve lowered the pricing across the board to make it more accessible, and added a brand-new tier for those who simply want to support the journey in a small, meaningful way.
No matter which tier you choose — whether you’re diving into content or simply cheering from the sidelines — you’re helping keep this creative light shining. And that means more than you know.

π«Merch for Makers
From sweet mugs to cozy tees, I’ve designed fiber-themed merch to brighten your crafting space and reflect your maker’s heart.

Handspun Yarn on Mercari
One of my favorite parts of the fiber journey is spinning yarn that holds its own story — and now, you can bring a piece of that story into your own creations. ✨
I’ve recently added a brand-new skein to the shop called "Sea Witch" — a mystical, moody, and magical hank of handspun yarn that’s just waiting to be stitched into something special.
Sea Witch is:
- 671 yards
-
Light fingering weight
-
Perfect for shawls, socks, or lightweight layering pieces
-
A stunning addition to your Halloween project stash or any time you’re craving something with a little enchantment ✨
Every skein in the shop is spun with intention, texture, and a touch of soul — no two are ever the same.

Tutorials & tips for spinners and crocheters

π₯ Watch the Rebrand Video!
To truly bring this rebrand to life, I’ve created a special video sharing the heart behind these changes — what inspired them, what’s new, and what you can expect moving forward.
This isn’t just a channel update. It’s a moment to pause, realign, and recommit to creating from a place of joy, purpose, and connection.

The outpouring of love and support from my last blog post has touched me deeply. Knowing that so many of you believe in me and encourage me to keep going fills my heart with gratitude. Because of you, I feel seen, supported, and truly blessed. I’m exactly where I’m meant to be, and it’s all thanks to this amazing community.
Thank you for being a part of this community — for your kind words, support, and the way you show up with your own creativity. I can’t wait to see what we continue to make together.
πWith love and inspiration,
Sweetpea Cyd
