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.

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

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

The final knitted object doesn't show much sign of the original word, but while 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.
