Note from Sundara...A lovely customer asked for some red sock yarn similar to a previous red I'd dyed. I'm not totally sure if I got close to what she wanted, but I fell in love with these bougainvillea flowers because they were such an unusual color, and this is definitely red sock yarn. It's also got oranges and pinks and salmons and corals and all sorts of other pretty, pretty floral hues. Hopefully she'll be happy. If not she can email me, and I'll try again. And either way, the rest of us have lucked out because did I mention the pretty, pretty floral hues?
I like this yarn enough that I'd use it for a sweater, "The V-Back Tee" by Jamie Hoffman is a fun summer option, or you can make it long-sleeved for a warmer version. "Scotch Broom" is a sweet little crop top sweater that Wool & Pine have styled over a dress. I'd knit it longer and wear it with pants because I think crop tops are the devil, but you do you. Or, if you absolutely must knit socks, the "Penne" socks are cute little anklets by Atsuko Yamamoto that is a free pattern and only needs 1 skein. Yay for that.
"Bougainvillea Rouge" will not be dyed again. Three batches available. Yarn will ship next week.
P.S. If you look very, very closely at this yarn photo, there is a strand that looks like it isn't properly spun. It is actually a tie keeping the skein from getting tangled and not one of the strands of yarn. I usually hide those ties better when I photograph the yarn, but I missed this one.

Note from Sundara...I had this undyed fingering merino in hand and my dye pots were filled with hot water, all ready to go and I hadn't yet decided what to dye. I stared at them and stared at them and they said "Beach glass. Dye beach glass." And you know, when your dye pots start talking to you, you either get yourself checked into a mental institution or you just dye what they tell you. I dyed beach glass. It felt like the right thing to do.
And so I went looking for a beach glass inspiration photo, and this one felt right. Since this color was all about feeling. You should definitely get some if it feels right. And then knit whatever the yarn feels it needs to be. And if anyone laughs at you for that, tell them my dye pots told you it was okay. Because my dye pots are always right.
"The Glass Pebbles" will not be dyed again. Unless the dye pots say so. Three batches available. Yarn will ship next week.

Note from Sundara...You know those relaxation...um, tapes? Or what used to be tapes back when there was no internet, but now they are audio thingies you listen to in apps called things like "Calm" or "Zen" on your phone. Go with me here. The soft, relaxing voice tells you to visualize yourself in whatever location you'd find calm and quiet. Or something like that. Mine was always a tropical beach. Except my zenned out bliss was ruined because I always knew, deep down, that tropical beaches are too hot and humid and windy and have too many bugs. I am a Capricorn. I cannot help myself. But I saw this photo, and it didn't look too humid or too hot or too windy and maybe there were no bugs, and I thought that it could maybe work as my happy spot. And so we needed yarn for it. Because all happy spots need yarn.
The color is a light calming blue-aqua-grey mix that I would suggest knitting "European Road Trip" shawl by Espace Tricot with because while we are in our happy spot, this has got to be one of the most relaxing knits I could find. And then you'll have a lovely, calming, pretty piece of soft, luxurious knitting to wrap around your neck when you can't sit down and visualize your happy spot. (2 skeins needed).
"Meditate" will not be dyed again. Two batches available. Yarn will ship later next week.

Note from Sundara...One of my lovely customers emailed me with a very specific request, which I was very happy to oblige. She is going on vacation later this autumn to Spain and Greece, including a stop on the island of Santorini, and she wants to knit the "Andecha" shawl by Belén Fernandez in a Santorini blue. This way, she'll have a shawl to throw on in the cooler evenings that will have Spanish and Greek influence. Additionally––I said she was specific––she wanted the Santorini blue to be more of a "solid blue, but with tonal variegation." How could I say no to that? Ask and you shall receive.
The "Andecha" shawl uses sport weight yarn, so if you'd like to knit along and pretend you too are going on vacation to Spain and Greece (because we have established that we all want to go on vacation to Santorini at all times) you'll need 2 skeins of this. You'll also 75 yards of 2 contrasting colors or 150 yards of 1 contrasting color. Our lovely customer is using some leftover white she has from another project, which I think is fabulous, since it is very Santorini. If you don't have white, lemon yellow would be fabulous. So would teal (OMG, use teal.) Pink! Always pink! Purple. Or anything bright or light (that isn't soft or muted) will be amazing.
"Santorini Summer" will not be dyed again. Three batches available. Yarn will ship next week.

Note from Sundara...When I dyed this last week, I was having a super bad day full of first world problems. The good news is I can't remember what any of them were. Which either means I might test high for early-onset dementia OR they weren't all that terrible. Let's go with the second. Either way, I had decided that I needed to dye myself some self-pity yarn, which meant pink. And we are talking super pink. This is bubblegum pink. Because I am like a five-year-old girl when it comes to pink. It's amazing. I'll wear it shamelessly. You should too. Embrace your inner five-year-old. It works great for warding off early-onset dementia.
I have also come to the sad realization that, despite always keeping and knitting the lovely silky yarns, my lifestyle is a sturdy merino with nylon. I have no where to wear angora and silk except for the random family party when I have to take off my yarn dyeing clothes. AKA my glorified pajamas. So I'm accepting my fate and knitting myself something in High Twist. That sweater will survive the dog's toenails when I pick him up. It will survive the thorns on the roses that I've decided I must grow and that inspired this yarn's name because doesn't everyone sing Poison songs when watering their roses? And it will survive all the mud that comes with living in the PNW.
So, despite this being my very gratuitous selfish yarn dyeing, you should get yourself some. Not just because it will bring back horrible memories of when you used too much hairspray on your bangs because you'll be singing "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" when you knit it, but because it's SO PRETTY.
"Every Rose Has Its Thorn" will not be dyed again. Three batches minus the sweater's worth I'm keeping for myself available. Yarn will ship next week.
High Twist is 393 yards and 100 grams of 85% super wash merino and 15% nylon.

Sold out
Note from Sundara...95% of you are thinking "didn't she just do this same color yesterday?" and the other 5% of you are crazy like me and are nodding and thinking "oh, look, this is totally different, I should buy this to go with the skein I got yesterday."
You are all right. Yesterday's color had a hint of sheer grey and today's grey is more obvious and it is purple grey. Also, the caramel latte color in today's yarn is way, way lighter than yesterday's. See? Totally different color. (please know I am fully mocking myself here) It's like 5% different than yesterday's yarn. The big difference is, for reasons I'm unclear on, this one ended up with tiny amethyst speckles throughout. No idea why. But there they are. They are adorable, actually.
You should probably only buy this yarn if you missed out on yesterday's yarn or if you want something similar to yesterday's yarn but with speckles. Or if you are crazy like me and can totally see the difference between the two colors because PURPLE GREY is not the same as GREY.
"Textured" will not be dyed again because those speckles will probably not ever repeat themselves. Just under three batches available. Yarn will ship next week.

Note from Sundara...I warned you that I got all inspired by yesterday's pale neutral. So I went looking for more photos of pale neutrals and this maybe doesn't feel entirely pale neutral, but really, it's the epitome of pale neutral. Right? Because sheep! Except I maybe fancied it up a little. Just a little. Because who can resist those faces? NOBODY. Nobody can resist those faces.
This is the palest of warm browns. Like maybe you spilled your latte all over your white shirt and rinsed it but there's still some there and you think, hmmm, that'd actually be a nice color, too bad I can't dye the entire shirt that color. Half of you now think I'm crazy for calling that a color you'd want for your yarn. But it's pretty! There's also the very, very slightest undertone of grey. Just a hint. A tiny whisper. To give it some depth and dimension. Because we like our pale neutrals to be fancy.
All joking aside, it's really gorgeous. And way softer and cleaner than those sheep.
"All Sheeps and Sizes" will not be dyed again. A little under three batches available. Yarn sill ship next week.

Note from Sundara...I'm not sure if it is the weather––spring has still not sprung––or that I need a vacation or maybe it's the power of 11-year-old girls to make you give up the will to live after a six minute car ride, but I've been feeling uninspired lately. Everything is just...blah. And there's been a lot of yarn that I haven't let you see because it's just...blah. It's sitting around, waiting to be made pretty when I'm less blah. I was starting to feel a little desperate, so I looked around for something totally different and found this photo. I'm still not sure what it even is. Could be human-made. Could be nature. No idea. But figured I'd throw some yarn and dye in the pots and see what happened.
OH MY GOD. This is the prettiest yarn. It may not look like much, but it's like this really interesting pale neutral color that I don't think I've ever dyed before. I'm totally inspired. I went and dyed a bunch more pale neutral colors for later this week because I was FINALLY EXCITED. Thank goodness. But this one. Seriously. So interesting. So shimmery and light. I don't even know what to tell you to knit because I'm too busy walking around being overly excited about yarn/ So, if you are feeling...blah, maybe this will help.
"Sculpted" will not be dyed again. Two batches available. Yarn will ship next week.

Note from Sundara...If my high school French teachers were dead, they'd be turning over in their graves at my total bastardization of the language. I am fully aware that the correct translation of The French Hydrangea should be L'Hortensia Français. But, I didn't like how it sounded. And if I'm going to put the time and effort into dyeing another French Hydrangea, I wanted to name it something pretty. And Un Hydrangea Français sounds better, don't you think?
What this has in common with the first French Hydrangea is that it is...let's say a distant cousin to that original. I will never be able to recreate this one, just like I'll never be able to recreate that first color. But they coordinate well. They are both in the hydrangea family. I have no idea how I dyed this. I was throwing dye in pots (because a bunch of you asked if I could "pretty please try again" and I like a challenge). I kept my fingers crossed, and hoped it MIGHT turn out close to something hydrangea-like. I think I just got lucky. And since I'm now two for two, I'm never tempting fate again. We are officially done with french hydrangeas.
"Un Hydrangea Français" will not be dyed again. Please don't ask. Three batches available. Yarn will ship next week.
