Note from Sundara...I had a lovely customer request this color on this yarn base and I had absolutely no idea how it would turn out, but I was intrigued to try. Although, to be honest, I never know how any color I dye is going to turn out on this yarn base. It's all new and different with the linen. But it's fun! And I hope it's fun to knit with, especially for the summer.
It ended up very subtle, but super intriguing. It is a color that feels very linen-y, if that makes any sense. It has that "natural" linen color, but there is actual color in there, too. There is a pale, pale, pale chartreuse akin to the center of the echeveria leaves. And there are very subtle washes of pink that make it look like light is washing over the yarn. It's fabulous. Highly recommend.
"Echeveria" will not be dyed again.

Visit product page →Note from Sundara...The fingering merino singles (#2) is the color I find the most interesting. It's a combo of dark cherry reds and a deep, muted fuchsia - pretty much the color of the sky in the photo above the orange. It's not a color combination you see often, but it works well in this color. It should knit up oh so pretty; the two colors blending together to make something so much more than each as an individual. I hope some of you will try it out.

Visit product page →Note from Sundara...Our kitchen window looks out on our neighbors 60-acre field. Right now, it's filled with wildflowers, which, fine, are dandelions, but I can live in a fantasy world and pretend it is actually something like this photo. Which is why I I like the dreamy quality of it. Wouldn't it be lovely to live next door to something like this?
Instead, we'll have yarn. #1 is maybe the most perfect lilac-color I've ever dyed. I've dyed lots of lilac and I don't think I've ever come as close to an actual lilac flower as this. If you love lilacs, maybe splurge. #2, the green, I took some artistic license with. I wanted a darker, forest-y green rather than grass green, so that is what I dyed. It will make a gorgeous lace something. And #3 the orange-y yellow. Sigh. I could wax rhapsodic about this for days. It's cheery and sunshine and one of the best orange-y yellows I've dyed in a while. And I love pretty much anything yellow and anything orange, so that is saying something. The only real problem with this trio of colors is that there is only a half a batch of each, which isn't much.
"Spring Wildflowers" will not be dyed again. Updated: 2 skeins left of the green.

Twilight of the Poppies
$36.00
Visit product page →Note from Sundara...I've been trying to figure out how to dye yarn based on this inspiration photo for, well, a couple years. It's a glorious photo. All those rich colors, and we love poppies. When I finally admitted it could not be dyed as a single-skein color, I originally thought I'd make this a duo color combo, but then I thought it might be interesting to expand it and see what happened. And isn't this pretty? In a dark and mysterious way?
The best of the bunch is #1, the blue fingering silk. It's that dark sky blue but it's got greeny-teal bits layered underneath that give it a subtle richness and depth of color that makes it so much more than just blue. It pairs super gorgeously with #4, the red, which I toned down just a tad so it's a rich, summer red rather than BRIGHT summer red. The others, #2, the red fingering silky merino singles and #3, the dark blackened blue layered over green in fingering silky merino are for those of you who maybe don't like knitting with 100% silk. The red is a little more twilight, with a blue layered over it, and the green is a bit more mysterious, what with those darks layered over the brighter poppy stem-green. Each skein is lovely all on its own, or, as a set of four, they capture the rich feel of summer poppies.
"Twilight of the Poppies" will not be dyed again. Half a batch of each color available.
