Visit product page →Note from Sundara...this special Saturday's daily dream is brought to you by a week that was shot all to h*ll by a daughter who almost broke her wrist, then finding out said daughter's health insurance had unexpectedly been cancelled and hours on the phone straightening that mess out, then a rather severe and destructive windstorm that came with a day long power outage. And that's on top of the Christmas shopping I'm behind on and the yarn I need to mail and emails I need to answer and based on the faces I'm seeing every time I leave the house, I'm guessing I'm not the only one who wants to run away screaming from holiday madness, the cold, dark winter, and life in general.
So let's go to Greece. I know I've done Greek bougainvillea many times in the past, so I searched long and hard for a different take on the glorious flower. This is a soft, luscious medley of pinks that will warm you up and make you feel pretty without screaming "I'm wearing pink." It will look fabulous with grey, navy, and black. And I will absolutely not reach you until after Christmas, so you can knit something for yourself completely guilt-free.
"Escape to Paradise" is available to order until 10am, pacific, Sunday, December 16th. Yarn will ship either later next week or sometime the week after Christmas. Hopefully late next week.

FINGERING MERINO is 437 yards and 100 grams of 100% super wash merino.
It knits up delightfully at 7-9 stitches per inch on US 0-2/2-2.75mm needles.
Gently hand was in tepid water for project longevity. Orders for 2 or more skeins will be matched as closely as possible. -

Visit product page →Note from Sundara...It appears that I've chosen, in my inspiration photos, to lean in to the dark and cold I feel this time of winter, since yesterday's photo was dark and today's is cold. But, and I'm hesitant to say this because I'm still dyeing yarn from the last time I said this, I want to put this yarn in my mouth it is so pretty. So much prettier than the photos. It's all teal and indigo and navy and luscious and I want to knit myself a pullover and wear it with dark jeans and then come home and switch out the jeans for pajama pants and drink hot coco. Doesn't that sound divine?
As for the yarn...I think this is the third time I've offered the extra fine aran merino. It's a dream and you should try it if you haven't. I am having cranky feelings towards the supplier of my usual aran merino, so until I work through my feelings, I'll be offering the extra fine aran merino, as the supplier of this yarn is LOVELY. And the sheep are not subjected to mulesling, which is even lovelier.
"Of Glacial Glass" is available to order until Friday, December 14th at 10am, pacific. Yarn will ship late next week and should NOT be expected to arrive in time for Christmas.

EXTRA FINE ARAN MERINO is 181 yards and 100 grams of 100% 2-ply superwash merino. It knits up at 4-5 stitches per inch on US 7-9/4.5-5.5mm needles. Gently handwash in tepid water for project longevity. Milled in Italy from sheep not subjected to mulesing.

Visit product page →Note from Sundara...You'd think my favorite thing about dyeing yarn would be the dyeing yarn. But it is actually getting to know the quirks and preferences of some of my lovely customers. For instance, the whole time I was dyeing this, I thought of one very lovely customer, who, every time she orders, requests the "most darkety dark" skeins I have. This color is definitely dark, but there is oh so much color within the darkness, that it seems like a nice metaphor to help me through the bleakness of winter. Yes, it seems eternally dark, but how much beauty and color is in the darkness. So go forth and knit dark yarn! Find the beauty in the darkness!
Just two batches of "A Sky of Diamonds" so very limited quantities.

Sold outQuoth the Raven silk lace
Sold out
Visit product page →Note from Sundara...I think last time I said I wouldn't be dyeing any more of Quoth the Raven, but then a lovely customer who is allergic to wool asked me to dye some in one of the silk bases. I had silk lace on hand, so here we are.
This color is actually so super shiny in pure silk and is just divine. All blackish purple and blackish blue. Just as a note, some sections of the skeins are grey, so I'll be re-dyeing those sections so they are blacker and richer. So that grayish corner in the upper left of the yarn photo should be eliminated when the yarn is all ready.**
Just one batch available.
**We are having a cold snap and my dye studio water source is frozen. I've been carrying water from the house to my dye studio and I got lazy (actually, I got super cold and wet and miserable) and didn't quite fill the pot as full as it needed to be, which resulted in the yarn not getting dyed as well as it should have. My bad. Yarn will be fixed and will be absolutely lovely, rich, dark, and deep.

Miss Elizabeth DK merino
$20.00
Visit product page →Note from Sundara...obviously there is no relation to the color of this yarn and the inspiration photo, the photo is just from the Pride and Prejudice movie, so you'll have to humor me on this one.
A few years ago, I did a Jane Austen inspired yarn for Jimmy Beans Wool in celebration for Jane's birthday month (December). I got stuck with Emma, which no offense to Emma, but it's my least favorite of her novels. (Although I loved the color I came up with) I decided that this was the year to take the opportunity and give you the color I would have dyed from Pride and Prejudice, had I been given the chance.
The two colors mentioned in that book are blushing, as ladies are wont to do, and Lizzie's fine brown eyes. I wanted to meld those colors together and knit myself a sweater and this was the color I had in mind. So finally, at long last, is my Miss Elizabeth color. Hopefully, like me and Mr. Darcy, a few of you will be entranced with brown eyed ladies who blush.
"Miss Elizabeth" is available to order until 10am, pacific, Thursday, December 6. Yarn will ship very late next week.

Visit product page →Note from Sundara...I've been wanting to use this inspiration photo for, oh, maybe three years, but kept resisting because it "didn't tell a story". I'm not sure if that's a great excuse, but I finally gave in because, to a certain extent, the way the inspiration photo looks is how the yarn will knit up. To a certain extent. Don't hold me to that. The yarn has way more color variation. Which is a good thing, because we like color variation. And there will be much more variability in the knitting. Which is also a good thing, because we don't like pooling. But most exciting is that, this color, like its inspiration photo, is all about texture, and texture is divine.

Visit product page →Note from Sundara...Long time followers of the Daily Dreams might have noticed that I'm always a fan of a literary reference and the true literary nerds amongst us will recognize this name as a title of a Flannery O'Connor short story that you might have been forced to read in an English class at some point. I've thought this the most poetic phrasing of words since I was eighteen, so going on several decades now and I've been waiting for just the right Daily Dream inspiration photo to use it for. This one seemed like it was the embodiment of Everything that Rises Must Converge.
Like the short story, this color is deceptively simple and the subtle shifts amongst the navies, indigos and grey-greens will only make themselves known as you knit along and see the color changes as they weave their way through your knitting. And while the short story ends in tragedy, I'll recite positive knitting incantations over the dye pots so your knitting does not.
