As prayer-shawl knitters will tell you, there is a certain power in knitting something with meditative intention. There's a whole school of thought that says that the love you're feeling when you're knitting something for someone can be felt when the recipient uses the item.

Miss Violet's Intention Yarns & Roving takes this concept one step further, attempting to start the process from the very dyeing of the yarn or roving to be used in the project of your choice.

Intention Roving is dyed using the same process as most hand-dyed or hand-painted roving, with colors that are selected for a relevance and conveyance of the roving's purpose. During the last step, however, just before it is steamed and the dye set, we write the word or phrase on the fiber. (see Sheri's blog here for a photo of how this is done with Intention yarn: http://www.theloopyewe.com/sheri/2008/08/knitting-for-others)

The final spun skein and knitted object doesn't show much sign of the original word, but while spinning and knitting with these yarns, every so often, you come across a very small "spot" of the word, which serves as a mental reminder to refocus your attentions back on your wishes and prayers for the project. It's very subtle, but effective as a reminder to keep your attention and intention on the recipient or focus of the project.
