Visit product page →Note from Sundara...I'm not sure why I decided to name this color Maleficient. I can't even bring myself to watch the movie because TOO SCARY. My niece was four when she watched it and she was fine, but me? Nope. But I feel like if Maleficient were a flower, this is what she'd be. And that isn't a bad thing. Evil can be beautiful. And this is an absolutely stunning combination of deep, dark red-violets comingled with teals and navies and all sorts of shades that are created with those three colors come together. It's breathtaking.
I dyed up aran because a lovely customer wanted something in a heavier gauge than all the fingering and lace I've been dyeing recently and since that seemed imminently reasonable, I had to comply. Plus, aran is great for smaller projects, which is nice to work on in the hot weather, as you don't end up with a huge, hot sweater in your lap.
"Montane Hat" by Whitney Hayward (1 skein for all sizes) will work for just about anyone and hey! You'll have a Christmas gift knitted and it'll be done by August. How productive is that? Alternatively, if you are one of the few who hasn't knit the "Hurricane Hat" by Andrea Guldin, you could knit that (also 1 skein and also free!) because it is just a great pattern and will go great with this yarn. And it won't even be scary.
"Maleficient" will not be dyed again. Three batches available. Yarn will ship way, way later next week.

Visit product page →Note from Sundara...So after yesterday's excitement over the grey-purple-lavender hazy bits in the yarn that was what I so ineloquently called the "film" on the plum, but what I have been informed is the "bloom" (thanks, Sarah!), I decided we needed yarn that was that grey-purple-lavender plum bloom inspired. Because I was obsessed with that color. So pretty.
Sadly, I am here to tell you I failed. NEVERTHELESS. The yarn was still pretty. It had a lot more medium grey, hence the "Midnight Plum" name, and it does have bits of the grey-purple-lavender "bloom" color woven throughout. So here we are. The end goal is always pretty yarn and that we have. Despite my failure.
So go forth and knit. Maybe "Este" by Justina Lorkowska because it will show off all the color in this yarn and the sample is also grey. Or possibly the "Waiting for Rain" shawl by Sylvia McFadden because it is also grey and I am back to having grey on my mind.
"Midnight Plum" will not be dyed again. Two batches available. Yarn will ship late, late next week.

Sold outJust Plummy
high twist sockSold out
Visit product page →Note from Sundara...Oh my goodness. You guys. I'm not sure how I did it, but I was able to get that grey-purple-lavender hazy color of that weird film that plums get on them mixed in with all the beautiful plum reds, purples, wines and other sort of plummy gorgeousness. I don't know what that film is called and "film" makes it sound gross, but the grey-purple-lavender color is really amazing and I've tried to get it mixed in with plum-inspired yarn before and failed. But this time, it totally worked. You can see streaks of it in the photo and the bits of it on the plums where it wasn't washed off. It will knit up so pretty. It's amazing.
With all the variegation in this yarn, I'd suggest knitting something without much stitch pattern going on. I'm a fan of the "Rye Light" socks by Tincanknits. (1 skein for the small & medium, and the pattern is free. Or, if socks aren't your thing, I'm intrigued by the "Cinna Top" sweater by Ksenia Naidyon, which is knit sideways, so your stripes will be vertical instead of horizontal. Which, being somewhat wide in the hips, I am always a fan of. Although, I'd make this sweater way longer, as I am not a fan of crop tops. Being wide in the hips. Your mileage may vary.
"Just Plummy" will not be dyed again. Three batches available. Yarn will ship later next week.

Visit product page →Note from Sundara...Full disclosure, I don't think these flowers are actually thistles. But that's what they reminded me of, so I'm going with it. Don't tell me if they aren't because I'm know. The color's the important thing anyway. We're back to grey. But this time it's the "Is it purple or is it grey?" version of grey. I'd say the lighter bits are more grey and the darker bits are more grey-purple, but it's a toss up, and you'll have to get a skein or two for yourself to see for sure.
But what to knit? The "What's Hot" pattern section of Ravelry has taken a turn toward cold weather knitting, so I know we are starting to think about fall, even if it's still hot and hotter. I like the "Grown-Up Starry" sweater by Naoko-n'ami-Ogawa because it's one of those nice transition pieces. And it's a great design that will suit this color. My other favorite right now is "Molecule" shawl by Audrey Borrego. I think this lighter color will show off the stitch pattern better than the sample color AND the pattern is currently 15% off AND you'll only need exactly 2 skeins. Although maybe be careful with gauge on that.
"Thistle" will not be dyed again. Probably. Two batches available. Yarn will ship when I get caught up on shipping now that my yarn labels have arrived and I can start mailing out yarn. Maybe later next week. Hopefully.

Peas So Sweet
$22.00
Visit product page →Note from Sundara...A few months ago, I dyed up a silky mohair that matched a singles color I had dyed a few weeks prior and mentioned it would work well if anyone wanted to knit the "Birds of a Feather" shawl by Andrea Mowry, which takes 2 skeins singles and 1 skein mohair. You all got super excited and bought the yarn super fast, and I thought I best dye up some more of those yarns in matching colors for you. So here it is.
Because the lace silky mohair takes dye A LOT differently from the other yarn bases, I'm pretty limited in what sort of colors I can dye in order to have these two yarns look like twins and not like distant cousins. I realize I already dyed sweet pea inspired yarn this week, but what can I say, I love me some sweet peas. And who doesn't love a pale pink with a pale yellow-green? This is divine. Light and airy, almost heavenly.
Again, you'll need 2 skeins singles and 1 skein mohair for the shawl. Each yarn base is sold separately, so you'll need to add both to your cart before checking out. I'll do my best to match all 3 skeins, but there is variation in how the silky mohair takes the color compared to the singles. This will just make for a more interesting shawl. Yarn will ship later next week or early the next.
Lace Silky Mohair is 460 yards and 50 grams of 70% ultra-fine kid mohair and 30% silk.
8 stitches per inch on US 3/3.25mm needles.Fingering Merino Singles is 437 yards and 100 grams of 100% super wash merino.

Wildflowers
high twist sock$21.00
Visit product page →Note from Sundara...I always forget that you can actually plant and grow sweet peas that come in colors that aren't this basic pink. I'm sure they are lovely, but I have a fondness for these pretties that grow wild. They've started blooming everywhere around here and so I had to dye my yearly sweet pea inspired yarn. This year I went with two separate sock colors so I could really punch up the green and pink. I am really hoping some of you do some sort of fair isle sock. So much so, that I came up with suggestions.
"Diamond Duality" by Liz Harris is amazing. Second option I love is "Wild Angelica" by Runningyarn. These are floral, so it would be keeping with the floral color theme. I admit I can't figure out how much yardage of each color you'd need for these patterns. The Ravelry pages aren't clear, so maybe buy the pattern before you buy the yarn so you know for sure? Or go through other people's projects to see what they used. I would think you'd be fine with 1 skein of each, but you never know. Finally, if you aren't up for stranded knitting, which you know, I get, the "Broken Seed Stitch" socks by Hanna Levaneniemi work great for two colors of sock yarn.
"Wildflowers" will not be dyed again. Two batches of each color available. Yarn will ship when my yarn labels arrive, which should be sometime in the next week.
High Twist Sock is 393 yards and 100 grams of 85% super wash merino and 15% nylon.

Visit product page →Note from Sundara...Now most of you are probably thinking "how is this any different from the 'Calmly Cacti' color she keeps dyeing?" and well, you should be thinking that. This is pretty much a few batches of Calmly Cacti that, for reasons not even interesting to me, I had to make a little darker and a little more grey. So that's how it's different. It's still gloriously neutral. Still gloriously soft with a slight shimmer. And still gloriously one of those 'is it grey?' or teal? or aqua? or green? You have to take it outside in natural light to be sure.
It is also a little more solid than Calmly Cacti. So maybe better if you have any projects with a stitch pattern (cough Shearwater by Wool and Pine or Whakairo Top by Francoise Danoy cough).
Almost a Cacti will not be dyed again. Two batches available. Yarn will ship when my yarn labels arrive. I ran out after thinking I had another box and I'm waiting for them to be printed and mailed. Sorry about that. I don't have an ETA yet.

All Abloom
high twist sock$21.00
Visit product page →Note from Sundara...So, I dyed all that grey yarn as a palette cleanser from all that bright yarn and then I found I needed a bright yarn as a palette cleanser from all that grey yarn. Who knew? We have orange day lilies blooming, so I went looking for inspiration, but I ended up with these yellow-melon-orange alstroemerias because they were so much prettier. And this yarn is a yellow and orange lovers dream. Pure summer sunshine. You can't help but be happy with this yarn.
So what to knit? Have you seen the "Exotic Whirpool" socks by Natalia Vasilieva? (1 skein) Most interesting, fun socks I've seen in ages. Get a skein. Knit a pair. This yarn is perfect for them. It'll also work great for "Mock Sadness" socks by Helle Slente Design (1 skein). But if you aren't up for socks, this yarn really is nice enough to be used for anything. I actually think it would work well for the "Summer Sorrel" sweater by Wool & Pine. Which I've mentioned before, but it needs variegated, and this is variegated. So there you go!
"All Abloom" will not be dyed again. Three batches available. Yarn will ship next week.

Visit product page →Note from Sundara...So this color is super popular, and while I said the mill was out of fingering merino and I couldn't dye any more in this color, I did happen to have some I was holding for a special project. But I decided that project could wait so you all could have more Always Agave. But now I'm really out. ☹️
As I said last time, I needed a palette cleanse from all the bright colors I've dyed recently, and I saw this agave photo and thought that cacti seemed appropriate neutral-toned hot weather inspiration. This is one of those "is it grey or is it teal?" colors I'm so fond of and the teal is more of a "is it teal or is it green or is it aqua?" Which I love even more. You have to take this yarn out into natural light to see it in its true beauty, cause there is a lot going on for a neutral.
What to knit? If you want to knit something like the pattern sample, Veera's "Waiting for Rain" shawl is also a lovely grey (2 skeins). As a bonus, it has lots of garter and a few, fun snitches of lace. "Cumulus Top" by PetiteKnit is a great summer cami that would be great in a neutral and could then go year round underneath just about anything. Or! Pair it with another color. It's a neutral it will go great with so many things. Anything blue, green, turquoise, or teal would be smashing, but orange would be a huge pop of amazing-ness. Someone pointed out the "Tiristeach" stripey cardigan to me over the weekend, so you might consider that...
