Cozy Pea Yarn

Company Description The Cozy Pea Yarn is a direct-to-consumer brand specializing in small-batch, hand-dyed merino wool yarn for knitting and crochet. Founded in late 2025, the company focuses on making high-quality, 100% merino wool accessible at fair prices through careful, one-pan-at-a-time dyeing. A fast-growing and highly engaged community has helped the brand scale from weekly drops of 40 skeins to selling over 750 skeins per week within hours. Cozy Pea Yarn prioritizes affordability, operational discipline, and craftsmanship, with an emphasis on intentional production and sustainable growth. The studio is based in Colorado and ships yarn nationwide.

Role Description The Studio Production Associate is a part-time, on-site role based in Denver, CO, supporting day-to-day yarn production and studio operations. Responsibilities include assisting with skein preparation, dyeing and rinsing processes, drying and winding yarn, and maintaining consistency and quality across batches. The role involves organizing inventory, labeling and packaging orders, and keeping the studio clean, safe, and well-organized. The associate will help prepare weekly drops, restock materials, and support operational workflows under the guidance of the studio lead. Occasional support for content capture (e.g., product photos, behind-the-scenes shots) and collaboration with the broader team may be required as the brand grows.
