Sheen sport merino two
$21.00
Visit product page →Note from Sundara...I've been wanting to dye a solidish green yarn in the forest-pine-juniper-basil-ish vein and this inspiration caught my eye, as something that wasn't so stereotypically forest even though the color is pretty foresty green.
This is, of course, "solid" in as much as hand-dyed yarn can ever be solid. It's full of the nuances and subtleties that make hand-dyed yarn so much more interesting, both to knit with and in the finished product, and should work for whatever complicated stitch pattern you might desire. I will say that this particular skein isn't quite as "solid" as the others, so if you get some, you should expect something a bit more solid than this.
"Sheen" is available to order until 10am, Wednesday, August 22 (pacific time). Yarn will ship sometime next week.
Please note before you purchase! The mill sent me skeins that are 115 grams instead of the usual 100 grams. This means the yarn has an extra 50 yards per skein - 388 yards instead of the usual 338. I've priced it accordingly, it's no cheaper or more expensive than the usual price per yard. It's perfect if you have a project that calls for a little more yardage than the usual or if you just don't want to weave in as many ends!
Save on Shipping: If you think you'll be ordering Daily Dreams more than once in the next 30 days or so, you may have me hold and combine all your orders to save shipping costs. Include "Hold and combine shipping" in the NOTES section of checkout (not paypal notes). When I mail all your orders in about 4 weeks, I'll refund you the overage you paid for shipping.
SPORT MERINO TWO is 338 yards and 100 grams of 100% super wash merino.
It knits up delightfully at 5-6 stitches per inch on US 3-5/3.25-3.75mm needles.
Gently hand was in tepid water for project longevity. Orders for 2 or more skeins will be matched as closely as possible. -
Sold outAs if in a Dream aran silky merino
Sold out
Visit product page →Note from Sundara...I haven't dyed aran silky merino in months, since it isn't a great summer yarn, but since we are on the countdown to fall, I thought I'd dye up a small batch. I'd forgotten how much I love this yarn - shiny, smooth and knits beautifully, and soft, so soft. Just delightful.
This is a range of blues - from a dark, muted aqua all the way through indigo, but they are not BRIGHT blues, just a perfectly blue blues.
Just one batch available.

Aran Silky Merino is 200 yards and 100 grams per skein of 50% silk and 50% merino.

Sold outAutumn Acorns DK merino
Sold out
Visit product page →Note from Sundara...This color takes a three way combo of neutrals and somehow turns it into something that seems so much more than what you might think of when you envision neutral. It's one of the more interesting colors I've dyed lately and watching the color changes as they make their way through the strands should make for entertaining knitting.
It's a combination of slate blues, espresso and walnut browns, and a bit of charcoal grey veering into midnight here and there. If you have a stockinette sweater pattern you've been thinking of knitting, this would make the miles and miles of mindless knitting much more enticing.
"Autumn Acorns" is available to order until 10am, pacific, Saturday, August 18. Yarn will ship early week after next.

DK MERINO is 218 yards and 100 grams of 100% superwash extra fine merino.
It knits up at 5-5.5 stitches per inch on US 6-7/4-4.5mm needles.

Sold outSweet Pea sport merino two
Sold out
Visit product page →Note from Sundara... My daughter and nieces are going through a unicorn phase and I'm constantly being asked "Are you sure unicorns are real? Like they don't actually exist?" So I was tickled when I pulled this yarn out of the dye pot and thought it looked like a unicorn's mane. And why is that relevant, you are probably asking yourself? Because Sweet Pea is the term of endearment I call my daughter and my nieces, so it's a sweet little coincidence of all my worlds coming together in a lovely bit of yarn.
The colors are a fabulous mingling of pinkish-purples and greens ranging from yellow-green to dusty sage green. And while my little inspiration story may have turned it into a color you only associate with little girls, it would actually look fabulous as a shawl or scarf with the backdrop of a grey coat or top. So if you are an adult who still is enchanted with unicorns or who has an unending love of sweet peas, don't stop yourself from getting some of this color.
"Sweet Pea" is available to purchase until 10am, pacific, Friday, August 17. Yarn will ship late next week or early the week after that.

Sold out
Visit product page →Note from Sundara...I've been looking at two color shawl patterns, specifically Solaris by Melanie Berg** and wanted to knit something bold and bright and you can't get much bolder and brighter than teal & turquoise combined with orange.
I dyed the base color I had in mind for those of you who want to knit along and you'll have to wait until I dye something orange or find some in your stash to use for the accent color.
Of course, teal and turquoise always disappoint in photos, so you'll just have to take my word that this yarn is much better looking than the photo here - it's a saturated combo of light and medium to medium-dark teals and turquoises. Just enough variegation of the colors to make it interesting, not enough to distract from a two color shawl pattern.
"Sun Soaked Sky" is available to order until 10am, pacific time, Thursday, August 16. Yarn will ship late next week.
**I plan to knit the base color (grey in the pattern photos) out of 2 skeins of this teal & turquoise yarn and use a skein of multifaceted orange for the accent color rather than several different accent colors like the pattern calls for. In case you were wondering.

Visit product page →Note from Sundara...I know it is technically still summer, but I'm already fantasizing about autumn. Probably because it's too hot and I'm ready for cooler weather. And autumn neutrals. I love the neutrals of autumn.
So today is a classic brown autumn neutral, full of all those fun brown colors: chocolate, mocha, coffee, ginger, caramel. You can't say brown isn't delicious.
Just one batch available.

Blackened Fig DK merino
$20.00
Visit product page →Note from Sundara...Fig seasons has finally found its way to the pacific northwest and I am thrilled, as figs are my absolute favorite fruit. Usually I eat them straight off the tree, but I was looking at some recipes for grilled figs and thought I'd dye some yarn to go with it. Of course, actual grilled figs aren't all that pretty, so I'm taking some artistic liberty here.
This figgy yarn is full of plums and purples and overlaid with a charred blackened deliciousness that I imagine will knit up into some lovely fall and winter sweaters.
Just one batch available.

Sold outStranger Things sport merino two
Sold out
Visit product page →Note from Sundara...I can't be the only one who loves the Netflix show Stranger Things but gets completely terrified watching it. It scares me so much, I have to watch it on my phone, so it is small and slightly less scary, and half the time, I have to cover the screen with my hand because that show is the stuff of nightmares. Yet I love it! Love it! And this photo reminds me of those scary woods where terrible things happen.
So of course, I'm sure I've completely scared you off this yarn, but it's gorgeous, despite its rather eerie origin. It's a fabulous shade of teal - not too dark, not too light, not too bright, not too muted. It's the Goldilocks of teal. And it's blended with charcoals and greys that give it a lovely mysterious edge.
It should knit up beautifully. And if I've inspired you to watch Stranger Things, or if you are waiting for season three, you can knit this while watching so you can look at your knitting and not the terrifying things that happen.
Stranger Things is available to order until 10am, pacific time, on Wednesday, August 8. Yarn will ship late next week.

Sold out
Visit product page →Note from Sundara...Every once in a while, I totally fail at my Daily Dreams dying. Usually I can salvage it or keep at it until it I can turn it into some inspiration I have my eye on. But today's failure was so lovely, I decided to just admit defeat and leave it as is.
As you can see, the greens are more forest rather than jungle and the blues are more navy than that light-filled blue-turquoise. But the forest green layered with navy and indigo makes for a glorious darkened jungle. It's darkly divine.
