Note from Sundara...So Zakynthos is one of those lovely Greek Islands that we love that happens to be in the Ionian Sea. Which, I admit, I really had no idea where that was. It's between the western side of Greece and the "sole" of the boot of Italy. If that makes any sense. It's the same water as the Mediterranean, but to the north. And that's your geography lesson for the day. You can knit with this yarn smug in your knowledge that you are smarter than you were before. Unless you knew that already, and then you can be smug that you are smarter than the rest of us.
Really, though, the important party is PRETTY YARN INSPIRED BY GREECE. I probably should have led with that. Look at those colors! Sky blues. Turquoise and teal and aqua waters. Emerald and sea greens of all sorts of flavors. It's like lounging on a yacht off the coast of a Greek Island. Except you don't have to leave the house and you get to knit. Which, at least for me, is way easier and maybe even a little more fun.

Note from Sundara...I actually dyed this color because my 7 year-old niece, who has me wrapped around her finger told me to dye my yarn "Purple. No, blue. No, purple." because that's what my knitters would like. Did you know that's what you would like? She's never wrong, you know. It didn't hurt that I was still hung up on that dark indigo-purple from a few weeks ago, so I went and found this photo that was in a similar vein. Who could resist these "Purple. No, blue. No, purple." flowers?
I should probably say more about this color. It's silky and soft with a sheen, like the petals of these flowers because I made the genius decision of choosing fingering silky merino, but really, what more is there to say than the brilliance of Purple. No, blue. No, purple? It's that and so much more.

Note from Sundara...I came upon this photo a few months ago and fell in love. And then immediately figured no one would love it but me because it's kind of weird. I figured, fine. I won't dye it. Even though that green is the color of sunshine, if sunshine were green. But then I was futzing around and I accidentally dyed it. Oops. I had no intention of dyeing this color, it just was. There in the pots. So I went with it. Like it was meant to happen.
And really, we should all be happy because like I said, if sunshine were green, this would be the green of sunshine. It's so happy. So cheerful. It's bright, but the right sort of bright. With lime, apple, kelly, bright teal, jade. So many good greens. And then there is the blue. Sky blue that mingles with the green. It's seriously fine if you don't buy it, although you'd be silly not to. Because I'll keep all this and knit myself something fabulous. A blanket, maybe. And a sweater. But really, get yourself some. I don't mind sharing, and you deserve to be happy. And this yarn will make you happy.

Note from Sundara...The last time I did a "desert south west red rocks" inspired yarn color, I told you all it was the vegetables of yarn color. Everybody said they wanted them, but they always sat in the fridge, uneaten. That I got lots of requests for these sorts of colors (I still do) but when I dyed them, nobody bought them. Of course, you all proved me wrong and snapped that color up like it was dark chocolate covered salted caramel.
But, that last time was sort of the "peas and carrots" of "desert south west red rocks," whereas this one is full on kale. Steamed kale. You can not get more Southern Utah red and orange than this, as it is actually The Spires in Canyonlands. Which, is breathtaking, as is the yarn. It's dusty reds and burnt oranges and everything you'd want if you love these colors. The few of you who like kale will love it.
"The Spires" will not be dyed again. As I'm sure nobody will buy this and it will sit on the website for the next year. Three batches available. Yarn will ship next week.

Note from Sundara...I have a folder of pale peach inspiration photos that I've been trying to dye the color of for years. Pale colors are problematic because when you reduce the dye down to that little, you often just get a very basic hue that looks like all the other lighter colors I dye. Like pink. Or Purple. Or Grey. You lose the nuance of the color that you'd get when you use the dye at a darker shade. The dye companies know this and sell a bunch of "pale" colors that you can use in greater quantities––I won't get into the theory of it––but needless to say, with all my experimentation, I had yet to find just the right shade of pale peach. I'd come close. But not perfect. And I am nothing if not a perfectionist.
On a whim, I tried a new dye shade that was a pale peach I hadn't tried before. And OH MY GOD it was perfect. Absolute peach perfection. I don't know why I'd held out for so long. Maybe fear of disappointment. I don't know. But now. Now we have absolutely perfect pale peach. The pale peach of my dreams. The pale peach that has haunted me. Go forth and knit. You will love it. You will want to eat it. Or roll around naked it in. It's just that good.
"The Most Perfectly Pale Peach" will not be dyed again. I'm not tempting fate because this may have been a fluke and I can't take the disappointment. Two batches available. Yarn will ship later this week.

Note from Sundara...I fell in love with this photo, mainly because of those orange flowers, but I immediately had a greater vision for what I thought this yarn color needed to be. So I took some liberties. Which made for some much prettier yarn.
This is some gorgeous dark aquas and turquoises of the water overlayed with forest and dark leaf greens of woods. That's where I took my liberties. I really played up those greens. Which makes for some gorgeous yarn. This one is really, really spectacular with the two separate hues, and then where they mingle together to create something new. It will be phenomenal on its own, or, if you have some orange yarn around, you could choose a pattern with a bit of a second color to add in those flowers for the full inspiration. (I like the new Galaxy shawl pattern by Monika Tuzarová).
"Where the Island Meets the Sea" will not be dyed again. Three batches available. Yarn will ship late next week.

Note from Sundara...It was pretty much impossible for me to resist the siren song of this photo. That blue. Or Violet. It's right there between blue and violet. I used a a weird combination of the strangest blues and purples to make this color. I never would have imagined that such a bright sky blue and a bright electric purple would combine to be the basis for this color. Of course, I then layered a bunch of other blues and purples on top. It's all very interesting. And electric without being neon or overly bright. And it's got quite a bit of subtle depth to it. Some of the skeins have those highlights you see where the light catches the buds. It's really stunning.
Please. Knit something amazing with this and send photos. It's one of my most favorite colors I've ever dyed. I can't wear this particular shade, so I have to live vicariously through you. I know you won't fail me.
"About to Burst" will not be dyed again. Three batches available. Yarn will ship late next week, as I have family in town celebrating my grandfather's 90th birthday. Thanks for your patience.

Note from Sundara...I had all sorts of interesting things to say about this color but when I sat down to write this, my child found out she was not getting unlimited iPad time all summer long and, well, let's just say I might need a very stiff drink and a very dark room for the rest of the day to recover. Now, I have no memory of all those interesting things. I barely remember my name at this point. My heart goes out to you if you also have children home on summer break. May the force be with you.
But yarn. I think there was something about wouldn't some orange beads on a lace shawl look lovely? They would. I know that much. I also know this was a customer request from a few weeks ago. She wanted a dark teal in lace silky merino. Or fingering. I think that's what she said. Again. Not sure of my own name. Seriously. I didn't even have the internet when I was a kid. We had rotary phones. I've turned into the old lady who complains about walking home up hill both ways in the snow. But let's forget about that and dream of a peaceful summer. Because all I have at this point is a dream and some yarn. And that's got to be enough.
"The Dream of a Peaceful Summer" will not be dyed again. Two batches available. Yarn will ship sometime soon.
