Amongst the Lilacs
$22.00
Visit product page →Note from Sundara...So even though this sold out super fast last week, I hadn't planned on dyeing more. But then I spent most of this week in bed with a not-covid stomach virus and wasn't able to come up with fun new colors for us. So I decided that I will dye more of this in both fingering merino & fingering silky merino because I know how to dye it already, the lilacs are still blooming, it's super pretty, and I didn't want you to go the entire week without at least one Daily Dream. Even if it is a repeat. At least it's a super pretty repeat.
As I said last time...I've dyed lilac-inspired yarn before, but you know how purple lilacs come in either that reddish-purple or the more blueish-purple? I think I've always dyed the reddish-purple and I wanted to dye the blueish purple. There is a huge amount of color going on in the skeins of yarn, and it will knit up so interesting and fabulous. It might even trick you into thinking it smells like lilacs. It's just that good.
(I actually dyed up a little of the fingering silky merino and it's even more amazing than the fingering merino. In case you were wondering.)
Yarn will ship next week.

Visit product page →Note from Sundara...So someone (me) can't actually wear blue, despite all this fantasizing about white pants, blue sweaters, and bougainvillea pink scarfs, and someone (also me) is super sad about that. But someone (still me) can wear teal and thinks teal looks super awesome with white pants and bougainvillea pink scarfs and also has been obsessed with the "hot right now" pattern feature on Ravelry. So that someone (your friendly yarn dyer) found herself several sport weight sweaters that those of us who might not want to knit fingering weight blue sweaters but do want to wear white pants with some gorgeous teal inspired by this amazing Santorini door could knit for themselves.
And just so you know, this teal color is EVEN MORE AMAZING in person. Teal photographs like a@@. Also, I made this pretty much a solid color so you could knit something with cables or lace or something, because all of these patterns have a little something-something going on.
So, you (or me) could knit yourself the "Seraphina Top" by Irina Anikeeva. It has amazing lacework on the sleeves and the rest is almost all stockinette. "Margay" by Jennifer Wood also has lovely lace on the sleeves and the neckline. This is long sleeve, but I don't see why you couldn't knit it shortsleeved for summer. Although if it were me (and, you know, it sort of is) I'd knit "Bloom Time Sweater" by Christelle Nihoul. Which has the most amazing pattern work on the yoke. Again, a long sleeve, but I'd make this short by ending the sleeves right after the pattern work.
"The Villa at Santorini" will not be dyed again. Three batches available. Yarn will ship next week.

Visit product page →Note from Sundara...While I was searching around for photos of Santorini, I couldn't help but get obsessed with bougainvillea, because look at it! Against the white with the blue door? Doesn't it make you want to wear white pants with your Santorini blue sweater and then wrap a bougainvillea pink lace shawl or scarf around your shoulders or neck? I mean that's the dream!!
So let's make it come true. I, for one, think everyone should have a lace project on the needles that you can knit a row or two here and there and, at some point, you'll have yourself an amazing lace scarf (or shawl). I did this once and it turned out to be my favorite project of all time. So what do I think you should knit to go with your Santorini Sweater? Because you know I got on Ravelry and had thoughts. I was pretending I was living the dream already. I own white pants.
"Out of Darkness" by Boo Knits (1 skein) means you'd get to use beads. "Gleipnir" by Lanja Khon-Engheim (1 skein) is my favorite lace pattern of all time, although I'd skip the ruffle and add a few pattern repeats to make it wider. But, if I was honest, what I've been planning to knit myself for some time is the "Botanical Lace Wrap" by Purl Soho (2 skeins) because SO PRETTY. SO PRETTY!
"Santorini Blossoms" will not be dyed again. Two batches available. Yarn will ship next week.

New York at Night
super sock$22.00
Visit product page →Note from Sundara...I had a lovely customer ask me for "a sock yarn that won't show the dirt on the bottom of her feet yet would still be pretty." Having that same problem myself, I was happy to oblige. We traded inspiration photos and then she asked me for pattern suggestions. I seem to be getting that question a lot these days, and I have to admit, I sort of like it. So you know, bring it on.
Here's my suggestions: Vapour Socks by Helen Stewart have a little bit of eyelets to break up all that darkness, Brookline Socks by Elizabeth McCarten has an easy little knot stitch to keep it interesting, or you know, go with something basic because it's almost summer and we all need something mindless: A Nice Ribbed Sock by Glenna C. is a never not the perfect sock to knit. All patterns take 1 skein for the smallest size, 2 skeins if you want something bigger.
"New York at Night" will not be dyed again. Three batches available. Yarn will ship next week.

Visit product page →Note from Sundara...Believe it or not, this color has been at least three years coming. I dyed an Odds & Ends color similar to that long ago, and it has haunted me ever since. It sold super fast, so I wanted to dye something similar, but for some reason, this particular combination completely eluded me. It shouldn't have, but it did. Then a few weeks ago, one of the lovely customers who bought some of that color asked me what she should knit with it, and I decided to finally conquer the color. I found the perfect inspiration photo and finally, FINALLY, I did it. Yay me. I only sort of no longer feel like a failure as a yarn dyer, because really. I should have been able to do this ages ago.
But let's ignore that and get back to what I suggested the lovely customer could knit with it, because that was where it got interesting. What does one knit with this amazing combination of sea glass aqua and blue that is so light-filled as to be almost transparent?
I had to suggest the Wavelet Sweater by Valentina Bogdanova because of the obvious ocean theme. Come on? How could I not. Plus, it's gorgeous. Rheinlust by Melanie Berg, has a lace pattern that could not look more like the sea filled with waves, which also seems appropriate for out beach-themed yarn. And finally, for just one skein! The Light & Lacey Cascading Waves (!!) cowlette by Stacey Wilkinson could not be any more nautical if it tried.
So there you. And I'll stop talking because this has gotten too long as it is. Three batches available. Yarn will ship next week.

Visit product page →Note from Sundara...For reasons, I had to dye up a batch of this and decided to dye up the usual three I dye up for the Daily Dreams. So have at it! I have plans to dye up this color once more in DK merino and then I'm done for a few years.
Three batches available. Yarn will ship next week.

Visit product page →Note from Sundara...So this sold out super fast and I got requests for more. I couldn't resist because I luuurve this color. Here's what I said last week...
I had a lovely customer who is super excited to have had both her vaccines and is looking forward to seeing a few family members for Memorial Day. And, more importantly, wearing white pants. She asked me to dye her up something to go with those pants and suggest some summer sweater ideas to knit with the yarn.
I couldn't help but think of those beautiful blue domes in Santorini with their stark white buildings. I decided to give the yarn as much depth as I could within the narrow hue of "blue." So the range extends from that almost but not quite aqua-y-turquoise highlight of the dome to the cobalt of the deep sea. It's stunning. And silky shiny and should knit up something divine.
As for patterns. This was fun! I absolutely adore Cullum by Isabelle Kramer, Summer Sorrel by Wool and Pine, but my favorite is Anker Tee by Petite Knit. Although that one is on really small needles, so fortify yourself if you choose it. They can all be found on Ravelry.

Visit product page →Note from Sundara...I decided I had to dye this color one more time before daffodil season was over, mainly because I realized I couldn't ever remember dyeing silky mohair in daffodil yellow. Ever. And that seemed like a total travesty. I mean what could be better than fluffy yellow with a thread of shiny yellow silk running through it to make it all so much better? And yet I hadn't ever dyed it. So here it is.
The first time I dyed this daffodil color a few weeks ago, I said it was yellow at its most lovely. But I think I was wrong. I think this yarn is yellow at its most lovely because it is silky mohair and it doesn't get better than that.
"Ode to the Daffodil" really won't be dyed again.

Visit product page →Note from Sundara...We have a tulip festival up north of Seattle every spring and photos of it have been hitting my Instagram feed and I'm a little jealous. It's a "see from your car" sort of thing, so nobody is risking covid, which is making it particularly popular this year. Since I can't bring myself to make the four-hour and a ferry ride trek and most of you are way too far away to visit the Skagit Valley, I thought I'd just dye us up some tulip yarn that sparkles in the sun instead.
And isn't this some pretty, sparkly yarn? The first time I dyed this sparkle yarn, it was a light pink cherry blossom inspired yarn but with gold sparkle and I have to admit, I think I like this pale pink with silver even better than the gold. I sort of want a cardigan out of it. Wouldn't that be stunning? Maybe something lacy around the front edges or, alternatively, something swing-y in the front? Because that will make our spring so much more sparkly and fun.
"Twinkling Tulips" will not be dyed again.
