Note from Sundara...late last year, I asked in an email if anyone had any gradient requests and I ended up getting several great suggestions, but none that made me so inspired I wanted to go to the trouble to dye a gradient. And believe me, gradients end up being a lot of extra dyeing work, which is dumb, as you'd think they shouldn't be, but they are.
Then two weeks ago, a long-time, lovely customer asked if I could dye a gradient that went from "pale blue to jewel tone blue to denim blue". For some reason, that spoke to my heart. I found an inspiration photo, sent it to her, she told me to get out of her head, I told her I'd give it a try, and then I had to wait two weeks for the bazillion feet of snow to melt so I could dye yarn again.
And now here we are! Whether or not I was successful meeting her desires, only she will know, but I am thrilled with this gradient. It's roll around naked in blue yarn level of happiness.
I hemmed and hawed over what to offer it in and finally decided to go with extra fine fingering merino and Italian fingering merino cashmere. You can get an entire set or single skeins of each color. If you find you are in desperate need of something else, email me and I'll see what I can do
"Beyond the Blue Horizon" is available to order until Friday at 10am, pacific time. Gradients take FOREVER to dye and get ready to mail, so expect these TO SHIP LATE MARCH!!!

Note from Sundara...years ago, back before I started dyeing yarn and I worked in an office, I had a boyfriend who sent me a huge bouquet of red roses for Valentines Day. Now, I know I should have been grateful, but I was shy and introverted and I hated being made a spectacle of. And then all he really wanted was for me to tell him what a great boyfriend he was and did all my coworkers thing he was the best boyfriend? It was not my worst Valentine's day, but he should have known that what I REALLY wanted was RED YARN because, duh, I was a knitter.
(in hindsight, I should have broken it off at Christmas when he asked me, after opening the hand knit scarf I gave him, where his "real" present was!!)
I don't know why that Valentine's Day popped into my head last week, but I thought I'd make up for it this year and dye us all some red roses inspired yarn.
This red is a true red roses red and I've put it through a two day, several step dye process so there are no lighter spots and it's a decidedly RED red. It's gorgeous and saturated and would look amazing as a lace shawl or a stockinette sweater or pretty much whatever your love-filled heart desires.
"Be Mine" is available to order in extra fine aran & fingering merino, and DK merino until Friday, February 15th, at 10am pacific. Yarn will ship week after next, hopefully (my yarn deliver is held up by snow and this color is dyed to order).

Note from Sundara...well, while the rest of the PNW is enjoying rain, we woke up to a new FOUR INCHES of snow and it is still coming down. I think my little town has slipped into a parallel universe, because we currently have had more snow in the last week than we have had in the last decade. Which means, more snow inspired yarn...
I loved the shades of grey in this photo layered with that haze of pink sunrise. It's like a watercolor wash of color over the yarn. A bit of translucent loveliness amongst all that neutral. I think my snowstorm induced neutral landscape of the last week has given me a new love of neutral. I know yesterday was neutral grey and today I've got more neutral grey, with a bit of color. Tomorrow I promise I'll branch out. But indulge yourself in some neutral, because even with the wash of pink, these socks will go with everything.
Just two batches available. Again, yarn will ship when we've dug ourselves out of the two feet of snow. I can't make it to the post office and the mail lady can't make it to me. Our county has two snow plows - we'd be better prepared to deal with two feet of rain than two feet of snow.

SUPER SOCK is 437 yards and 100 grams of 85% super wash extra fine merino and 15% nylon. It knits up at 7-9 stitches per inch on US 0-2/2-2.75mm needles. Gently hand was in tepid water for project longevity. Orders for 2 or more skeins will be matched as closely as possible.
Note from Sundara...those of you familiar with the PNW know that we are all about the rain, but somehow, my little town exceeded all expectations and managed to get 20" of snow last Friday and another 2" on Sunday and then ANOTHER 5" last night. Needless to say, I have snow on the brain. We haven't had this much snow since 1985. The children are ecstatic.
Snow, colorwise, is not at all interesting. It's white. Not much a yarn dyer can do with that. But those snow storms at night! So much going on! Sure, it's all shades of grey, but so many shades of grey. Shades of grey that tinge warm, then tinge cool. It's a veritable feast of monochrome magic. How could I not pass of the opportunity to dye us all up some neutral loveliness? And in squishy, soft cashmere. Because we really do all need some neutral loveliness now and then.
Just two batches available. Yarn will ship when some of this snow has melted and my mail carrier is no longer risking life and limb trying to make it down our long, snow and ice-filled driveway to pick up packages of yarn.

Note From Sundara...this color reminds me of a color I dyed, but I can't remember when, or what the color actually was, or what the name was. I only remember that a bunch of you wanted me to dye more and I didn't write down how I dyed it, but I promised to try to re-create it. So guess this only goes to show how terrible my memory is and is the worst sort of story.
But the color is lovely! It's all very dark as night with whispers of trees and forests and fate-filled starry skies. I particularly like it in the aran weight. It'd be a fabulous sweater - all black with flashes of color here and there. It makes me think of something you'd see in an Anthropologie catalogue. Although whenever I mention that I like one yarn over another, I feel like a mother playing favorites with her children, because really, they are all lovely and I love them all, just in different ways!
"Bending to the Will of Fate" is available to order in extra fine aran & fingering merino, and DK merino until Friday, February 8th, at 10am pacific. Yarn will ship next week.
