Note from Sundara...so you may be thinking "Jeesz, Sundara, that yarn doesn't look at all like the inspiration photo" and yeah, you're totally right. I got way too carried away with the dye and overshot my mark. Plus the green didn't quite work out the way I planned. I mean, if you squint, you can see that the yarn and the photo are maybe second cousins. BUT the yarn is SO PRETTY. I had to show you and risk you all thinking I'm a terrible yarn dyer.
Let's start with the green. It's got these flashes of well, I guess spearmint? But not really spearmint. I'm not sure what color that green is, but it goes amazing with those dark wines and burgundies. I mean the whole thing is so unique and interesting I couldn't not leave it as is. Because the alternative was to find another inspiration photo and over-dye this yarn to make something else. And that would not do. So please, get some of this and make something gorgeous. Because this is some gorgeous yarn. Mistakes and all.

Note from Sundara...I don't think I've ever dyed a color quite like this before and I wonder why, but then I remember that I've actually been trying for this particular combination of ocean-teal and indigo-violet-grey forever, and I've just always failed to get it JUST the way I wanted. Not that all my previous attempts haven't been fabulous, but I've always just missed the shades I wanted by a hair. But this time: nailed it.
So you know, get some. Because who knows when I'll nail it again. And this is STUNNING. Especially in the fingering silky merino. Thank goodness I choose this yarn to try it in, because the sheen of the silky gives it that bit of sparkle that makes it so much more exciting. It's amazing. All dark and stormy and mysterious with a range of shades that is utter perfection.

Note from Sundara...I have a customer who probably thinks I forgot about her request for a medium-dark slate blue, but actually, I've tried and failed. Twice. So I'll try again soon. This was supposed to be that medium-dark slate blue for last Thursday, but the slate blue had a little too much green in it, so I had to send it back to the dye pots and find a new inspiration photo to turn it into, so we get a special Monday Daily Dream.
But there is always something to be said for my mistakes, because they can turn into something lovely. This is early morning dawn at its finest. A bit darker and more intense and bronze than you might think of dawn, but much more interesting for it. The blues are sky, and yes a bit of slate, but also some robin's egg, ocean, muted grey-blue and a whole bunch of other blues that I don't think come with names. Then there is the golds, which range everywhere from deep bronze to, well, lots of others I don't have names for. It's quite the interesting color.
"Reflections of Dawn" will not be dyed again. Three batches available. Yarn will ship next week.

Note from Sundara...I have a thing for photos with moody teal backgrounds, and well, I could not pass up this color combination. I mean look at it! Dark wine-y burgundy with teal fog. Amazing.
I'd knit a sweater out of this myself, if I could wear these colors. I can't, so someone knit themselves a sweater and send me photos so I can live vicariously through you. It's sport weight, so a light summer sweater would be divine, despite the autumn-ish color inspiration. Or you know, if you're not ready to face summer sweaters, you could go for a heavier gauge squishy shawl. I always like sport weight for shawls. Knits up faster. Regardless of what you decide, the color combination has so much going on that it will be a fascinating knit.
"The Last Few Leaves" will not be dyed again. Three batches available. Yarn will ship next week.

Note from Sundara...My aunt in London––who I always feel the need to clarify is a few years younger than me, wears a lot of black leather, makes chunky silver jewelry, and is way cooler than I'll ever be, so you know, not your typical auntie if you're a middle-aged white lady who dyes yarn for a living––has been sending me videos of fields of crocuses that her dog has been frolicking in, and I'm SUPER JEALOUS. Because we have ONE flower blossoming and got hit with some sort of ice storm last night. I think spring is never going to come.
So we will live vicariously through yarn. I couldn't find anything warmer, happier, and more sunshine-ier than this inspiration photo. The yarn is pretty much sunshine in a skein. And it's fluffy and silky. I'm not sure what more to say. Buy it. Knit yourself some sunshine.
"Fields of Sunshine" will not be dyed again. Two batches available. Yarn will ship next week.

Note from Sundara...I'd wanted to do another darker/lighter version of an inspiration photo like that amazing "Living on the Edge" that sold out in about ten minutes a couple weeks ago, but since I already have plans to re-create that inspiration photo in another way, I went looking for different inspiration photo that would also be my favorite colors in darker and lighter versions. I could not pass up this glorious, cheerful rose. Somewhere between pink and red washed with yellow to make something that veers into orange. but somehow it is all of those colors at once. It's amazing. It will cheer you up like nothing else, and who doesn't need cheering up? Goodness knows I do.
Like before, there is a lighter and darker skein to alternate for the most amazing color variation. Maybe a shawl or scarf. Maybe something more? I'd do a shawl. And it is singles, which is soft and smooth and lovely. Seriously. This yarn is like cheerful in a skein.
"From the Center" will not be dyed again. I dyed two batches of each the light and dark so hopefully there is enough for everyone. Yarn will ship late next week.

Note from Sundara...After last week's pink mohair, one of you asked for this in sport, and I was happy to oblige, since I am always happy to oblige pink yarn. It turned out to be perfect serendipity because after all my complaining about not getting snow this year, we woke up to white stuff everywhere and are forecast to have 10-12 inches by the end of the weekend. Needless to say I am EXCITED.
Sadly, we have no blossoms anywhere, so we'll just have to get our thrills from this lovely sport weight pinkness along with the white flakey stuff. Assuming you have the white flaky stuff. If you don't, you'll just have to be satisfied with the pink merino stuff. Which is pretty awesome all on its own.
Just three batches available. Yarn will ship later next week.
