Note from Sundara...I can't remember if I've dyed this yarn in a teal, but even if I have, this one is pretty great, so it's worth it. It's "beachy teal" with some dark blues overlaid and is what you might think of when someone says "simple elegance."
I get asked a lot what to knit with this yarn. It's quickly become one of my favorite yarn bases. It's smooth, soft, and silky and I like it in anything garter, as the garter is lofty and just kind of works well with it. I find it best on US 3-5 needles. Something like a single color "Drachenfels" by Melanie Berg. Which most of us may have already knit, but it's a classic and I've knit it in a single color and it's divine. Can't go wrong. Would knit again. And again. Especially in this yarn.
"Transience of Tranquility" will not be dyed again. Updated: 3 skeins left.

Note from Sundara...Yes, I did green and blue in this yarn week before last, but one of my bestest customers requested "a more darker, deeper, more saturated" version of those colors. And she wanted the blue to have a touch of violet. I hate saying no to my bestest customers. Especially when she sent me the sweater she wants to knit. (Renaissance Sweater by Elenor Mortensen).
And while that's a gorgeous, gorgeous sweater, most of us are probably not up for that level fair isle in our lives. "D'Aisi" by Natasja Hornsby is a cute little sweater that combines two colors in a way less complicated fashion and doesn't use a ton of yarn. I'd probably knit something like "22 Cowl" by Casapinka (1 skein each color) because it's fun and warm around your neck. Or, if you only want 1 skein, the "Birds and Ships" cowl by Caitlin Hunter is fun because it has a tassel. Who doesn't love a tassel?
"Elegantly Iris" will not be dyed again. Updated: just 3 skeins of each color left.

Note from Sundara...How fun are these pumpkins? I wanted a neutral purple, because I've decided that all colors can become a neutral if done right, and I found these. I'd grow these if I were the type of person who grew vegetables. They are the perfect neutral purple. Purple enough that you can tell it's purple, but the color is subtle enough that you could pair it with all sorts of things. It will work just as well as black, white, grey, or brown. It's versatile while being pretty.
So pretty, in fact, that I almost want to knit something heirloom quality. Something like the "Seashell Lace Wrap" by Purl Soho (3 skeins). I've been lusting after that for years. This color will show off the stitch pattern in all its glory and the yarn is soft and springy but has the sturdiness of merino that heirlooms need.
If you aren't up for that, other favorites for this color are the "Low Tide" sweater by Rachel Illsley, "Anticline" fingerless mitts by Emily Greene (1 skein), or "Along the Shoreline" shawl by Gretha Mensen (1 skein).
"Ghost Pumpkin" will not be dyed again.

Note from Sundara...I googled "autumn blues" and this shade of blue came up. A lot of them had browns in them, but I've done a lot of brown recently. I don't regret it. This turned out just lovely. If you want something that has the feelings of crisp autumn mornings blanketed with the sweet silence and mystery of a bit of fog, this is for you.
But, almost even better than the color, let's talk about this yarn. I knit my sister a big, blanket-type scarf-wrap out of this yarn and gave it to her in July. She's worn it so much that when I saw my 4-year-old niece last week, she demanded that I make her one "like her Mom's". Obviously, 4-year-olds don't get silky merino cashmere, but I was thrilled that my sister wore her gift that much. That's how great this yarn is. You'll wear it even when it's too hot to wear knit things. It's just that soft and amazing and silky and gorgeous. It's the best yarn, ever.
"Into the Mystic" will not be dyed again.

Note from Sundara...When I dyed these, I didn't think they'd go together at all, but now that I see them lined up next to each other, I hope at least a few of you will combined them into a 3-color project. They are a unexpected color combination that, at first glance, you think "totally won't work" but then when you actually put them together, they harmonize so well it's kind of fascinating.
The pink (#15) is both rose pink and, I guess what you'd call a darker, muted "hot pink." Plus, a whole lot of other pinks going on. There's a touch of blue that came from somewhere, although I'm really not sure where. I swear I did not put blue in that pot, but yet, it's got a little blue in it.
The multi-color blue (#16) seems to have all sorts of things going on. There's everything from cerulean to violet along with a few pinks and, well, silvers. Yet it all works and blends and looks super pretty.
The dark (#17) doesn't fully show all its variety in the photo. You've got to see it in the light to really appreciate the various shades of dark blue that blend into a bit of brown and green. The highlights are more chartreuse than anything else. Each one is a little different, depending on how the dye overlaid the underlying color. It's another really interesting color.
"Curiosities #15, #16, and #17" will not be dyed again. One batch of each color dyed.

Note from Sundara...I rarely, and I mean almost never ever, dye mustard because it is an extremely niche color that only a few people like. Which is too bad. It's quite versatile and there's a lot of reasons why you might want a skein or two in your stash. Here's why:
1) It makes a great pop of color in your knitting (or whatever you do with yarn) when you are doing those multi-color projects.
2) It makes an unexpected and fun contrast to popular colors like blue, teal, and purple.
3) This version of mustard is neither too bright, nor too dark, nor too light, nor too brown, nor too orange. It's just right.
So get a skein. You never know when it'll be just the thing perfect thing for your project and you'll be so happy you have it in your stash.

Note from Sundara...I know I did a neutral last week. It's why I saw this and who can resist hazelnut praline ice cream? I can't. If you can, maybe you can't resist the color. It's super pretty. Simply a gorgeous neutral. Creamy, delicious. Nutty. Caramel. What more can you ask for? It's even got a bit of shine from the silk.
A lot of you ask me what to knit with this yarn. I like "Amren" by Joji. She says it's a simple and delicate shawl, which I think is perfect for this yarn. And the original is knit out of blend with alpaca and silk. You'll need 1 skein (but might need to check the pattern for yardage suggestions.) The "Sockhead Cowl" by Kelly McClure is another one that would work. Especially if you need for miles and miles of stockinette. It's simple, yet this yarn would transform it into something elegant. (1 skein). Finally, I really love the "Jakobe" shawl by Anette Mielche. Designed in alpaca, it's a joy in garter with a bit of lace and is one I've put on my "to knit" list. Bonus, it's free. (2 skeins).
