Visit product page →Note from Sundara...I probably shouldn't admit this, but when confronted with "What color should I dye today?" I often have no idea. So when I had to dye today's Daily Dream, I thought "Let's dye something different. Something completely unexpected." This photo made no sense to me whatsoever because flowers don't come in those colors but it was so interesting to look at that I thought "Why not?" and wouldn't you know it, the resulting yarn is fabulously fabulous. Just as interesting, if not more so, than the inspiration photo. It's a winner, as Daily Dreams go.
It's all greens as a base color, with blues and darker forest greens and some rich redwood browns thrown on for fun. There's maybe some darker teal-aquas here and there, too. But it's not crazy with all that color. It's somehow distinguished and dignified. Which are words I don't think I've ever used to describe yarn, but I did say I was going to dye something different, so here we are. And so, if you are feeling like you need a little bit of something different when it comes to your yarn, without it being outlandish or ridiculous, this one's for you.
"Contrarian" will not be dyed again. Three batches available. Yarn will ship later this week.

Visit product page →Note from Sundara...I went into this knowing I wasn't going to get stark pops of pink, but I didn't really care. Because these are gorgeous colors in this photo and it was worth it, cause this yarn? Stunning. Super stunning. So super stunning.
It's all teals and something that is sort of a blue but maybe dark purple but I can't really tell because it changes color depending on what sort of light you're in. And then there is the pink. It's a dark pink, but there are some brighter pops here and there. Not a lot and not too bright or in your face. Just enough to say Hey! Here we are! We're inspired by a lotus and we're a bit of pretty pink in the night. Because, you know, the color talks to us. Which probably means I need to stop writing and let you buy yourself some yarn.
"Lotus of the Night" will not be dyed again. Two batches available. Yarn will ship next week.

Visit product page →Note from Sundara...Once upon a time, in a galaxy far, far away, I thought it would be a fabulous idea to try out mini skeins. I actually thought I'd do a set of five in a gradient. Want to know what happened to the ones I tried to dye in a gradient? You don't want to know. You'd be horrified. HORRIFIED. I HATE dyeing minis. Hate it with the burning heat of a thousand suns. But I still have a bunch on hand and I'm not going to waste the rest of them. So I'm going to dye them here and there so I don't overwhelm myself. I'll sell them in little sets to make it tolerable. So I don't tear my hair out and end up quitting yarn altogether.
I've been lusting over this photo for ages, but I could never, ever dye it because you can't dye orange and blue together. That's the problem with complements. Stupid color theory and the laws of physics. But the upside to these minis is I can dye those gorgeous dark midnight blues and a cute little skein of those golden autumn oranges and my heart is filled with joy. Hopefully yours is too.
"Gilded Midnight" will not be dyed again. Updated: One batch left of the big blue skeins and the mini orange skeins that will only be sold together. Two skeins left of JUST the big blue skeins that can be purchased as single skeins. Yarn will ship next week.
Mini skeins are 20 grams and 79 yards.

Visit product page →Note from Sundara...Okay, so I really, really had planned to not dye more of this. But then lots of you asked very nicely and said things like "I need 7 skeins" or "I need 3 skeins" which means you had specific projects picked out and, well, it's the Queen and I'm still sort of sad and I apparently can't say no. So here's what we are gonna do.
You have 48 hours to buy as much as you want, so until 10am, pacific, on Sunday. Then this color is absolutely gone forever. No exceptions and I'm limiting it to the fingering merino to save my sanity. HERE IS THE CATCH: None of this yarn is dyed and I probably won't have enough on hand to dye all you want, so I'll have to wait to get all of it dyed wait while I get more ordered. SO THE YARN YOU ORDER MAY NOT SHIP FOR A FEW WEEKS. I'm not sure how long it will take me because there is only one of me and I have no idea how much you all will buy. If you can't wait or can't handle not knowing when I'll get the yarn mailed to you, please don't buy this yarn.**
So...one last time! The merino is practical and lovely, like the Queen. And there is no way this pink won't cheer you up. Even if you aren't sad about her death, this is happy pink. It's not too bright or garish. Just perfectly pink. The merino has a range of value, with some pale bits and some saturated bits and everything in between. It looks like a pink rose in bloom, if a skein of yarn was a rose inspired by The Queen.
Final reminder: You have until 10am, pacific, on Sunday, September 25th, to order as much as you want. Yarn will ship when I get it ordered and dyed. I have no idea how long that will take me. Might be a month or two. Don't hold your breath.
**Any orders placed between now and when I mail the Queen Elizabeth yarn you've ordered will be automatically "held and combined" to save you shipping unless you leave a note saying you want me to ship your not-Queen Elizabeth yarn immediately.
