about scout & scout's swag
I've always been drawn to creativity—whether as an educator, photographer, or fiber artist. My love for knitting started in childhood when my mom taught me the craft while I was growing up ski racing in Vermont. In 2005, that passion led me to start scout's swag, where I combined my eye for color and photography with hand-dyeing yarn. It took off quickly—I even appeared on Vickie Howell’s Knitty Gritty and landed a book contract. But life had other plans, and in 2011, I had to step away from the business.
Fast forward 14 years, two life-saving organ transplants (yes, really!), and grown kids later—I knew it was time to return to what brings me joy. Creating and sharing beautiful yarn isn’t just a business; it’s my way of bringing inspiration and a little dopamine boost to fellow makers.
Welcome to finchmod—I’m so glad you're here!
Let customers speak for us
There were two thick and thin skeins of blue, purple and grey on sale but I only bought one. When it arrived, I knew I had to have the buddy!
Scout’s yarn is lucious and colorful and one-of-a-kind.
What??? Where has this been all my life? Barber cord is genius! So much easier and quicker than threading scrap yarn to hold stitches!
I went a little crazy and purchased a ton of Scout Swag! I had my yarn with me when I went into my LYS looking for a mini skein to add stripes for my socks. The ladies in my LYS were drooling over the hand dyed yarn and everyone said how beautiful it was! I must agree it’s awesome. They played with it so much, they even caked it for me for free!
I got free shipping with my purchase and Scout was so kind and helpful. I really feel like she’s my new bestie! Quality products, amazing customer service and a beautiful spirit. Thanks Scout!
A must have for knitting or crocheting. Sizes to fit a wide array of needles. Great idea for a gift to yarnies.

Thank you so much! Your yarn looks and feels just as I was expecting. I love the color. My first pair of socks are coming along nicely. Thanks for the great customer care and extras!! I appreciate you very much.
This is my go to for carrying hats, socks, scarves etc that are on my needles. It's sturdy, holds more than you'd imagine, and the prints are darling. The interior pocket is great for keeping notions close at hand.
I received my knitting light very quickly despite shipping in the midst of the holidays. The product is great, too! Thanks, Finchmod!
This is a beautiful bag. I gave it as a gift but loved it so much I ordered another for myself 🙂
Shipping was fast. I ordered one for myself and one for a gift, I'm excited to try it out!
I love my purchases from Finchmod -- some yarn and some notions tins. We had a bit of a glitch with the shipping -- totally my fault -- I apologize, again, Scout. Scout handled it with grace, constant communication, and speed even though it was pre-Thanksgiving. My new notions tins are already in project bags. I'm looking forward to starting something with my awesome Pearls, Chucks, & Zero F**ks yarn!
Love the yarn and the message!
This yarn has great color and will make an interesting knitted hat.
This is a great kit with incredibly soft yarn and full instructions. The delivery was quick.
I'm looking forward to knitting this for myself when I finish gift knitting.
I’m almost finished with my first project, and like it so much I ordered another. The videos are excellent, the materials are nice to work with, and it’s fun to have a different craft than knitting in my hands for a bit.
I purchased 4 skeins (different weights) of Pearls, Chucks & Zero F*cks and it is beautiful. The photos do not do it justice at all. The colors are incredibly pigmented, vibrate yet muted (in all the right places!) at the same time. I've knit a swatch with the bulky weight and the way it feels in my hands is incredible. Bouncy with the right about of squish to structure. I feel this will have the right amount of drape without sagging.
After November 5th, I was feeling a lot of feelings and knew I needed to do something to supporting something/someone. This yarn purchase was a way to help a small business who has been making a difference since day one, working hard to help protect & support those that need it just a little bit more. This yarn will be the perfect way to remind myself that we never can stop fighting for what is right, even when it's not easy.
