2020 was the longest year in history yet also seems to have gone very quickly. Not sure how that works exactly—must be some screwed up space-time finagling… But now 2021 is upon us! I hope it will see things really turn around for everyone. All we can do until then is continue to take things one day at a time.
To coincide with the new year, there are some changes coming to the Iron Dragon Shop.
Holiday shipping deadlines are here!
The pandemic (and other factors) continues to create challenges for the mail system around the world. As a result, these cut off dates are for estimated delivery before December 25. Many carriers have removed their delivery time guarantees so order as early as possible. Delays are expected.
Nov 26 (outside AB); Dec 2 (inside AB)
Dec 15 – but earlier is better!
Nov 18 – but earlier is better!
To ensure your yarn arrives on time, order soon!

Have a great holiday season. Happy stitching!
Yesterday was Thanksgiving in Canada! Happy Thanksgiving!
(And for Thanksgiving, Mother Nature decided to grace us with our first snowfall of the year! Wet, sloppy snow, yuck!)
Gross, right?
Hi! Have you melted yet? It’s been very hot in Calgary recently and I’ve heard other places around the world are suffering just as much. I hope you’ve found good ways to stay cool! Me? Lately, I go to bed cuddled up with an icepack wrapped in a towel. My queendom for some air conditioning!
When it’s this hot, do you still find yourself reaching for your yarn? On July 20 I started knitting my very first sock and have been able to make decent progress with it (even had to frog and start it over from scratch) despite the heat. There are pictures on Instagram and Twitter if you’re curious!
I also couldn’t resist creating a brand new colorway that I’m really excited about!
I’ve had this website in one form or another, and at one URL or another, since 1999. Of course, its content has changed drastically over the years. Much of what I’ve posted here since then has been retired, archived, lost, or even deliberately deleted. The Wayback Machine could probably provide a pretty amusing trip down memory lane if I dredged up the old web addresses I used to occupy.
I can still remember the moment I decided to name this site Incyanity. It’s pretty close to twenty years back: I was posting in a thread on a phpBB forum moderated by some people I knew, casting about looking for a new name for my site for whatever reason. People in the thread knew me pretty well, including my tastes, interests, and my favorite color, and then there it was: a friend suggested Incyanity, and I knew that was what I wanted to change to. So I did.
Hi! I’m Cheyenne (aka Iron Dragon). Welcome to my website! I love nature and am a proud Canadian, born and raised in Calgary. Cyan is my favorite color. Learning to live with anxiety and depression is a big part of my life right now. I enjoy video games, writing, crochet, and photography. Drawing? Web design? Editing? Camping? Fishing? Reading? Aquariums? Yes, those too. I probably have too many hobbies. Completely yarn obsessed!
Get sneak peeks at new content and in-progress colorways by joining the Iron Dragon community on Discord. I hang out there every day! It's also a great place to share your WIPs, finished items, and other creative projects like art, writing, photography, and more!
