Note from Sundara...3/4 of the yarn I dyed last week was blue, so I needed a palate cleanser. And I'm currently having a love affair with dark wine-red-burgundy flowers. Aren't these peonies spectacular? The yarn is even more spectacular because it's yarn and it won't wilt or die and you can knit with it. Or whatever it is you like to do with yarn.
A lot of people like to knit this particular shade of red into lace shawls. I think the deep dark red gives the lace an added drama. "Illumine" by Nim Teasdale is particularly pretty one. It needs 2 skeins. If you aren't up for lace, "Electric Squeeze" is a cute, new short-sleeve sweater that looks like fun. Or, if you just like the color, you could get a single skein and match it up with some stash yarn to knit Joji's new "Sowing the Seeds of Love" wrap. That takes five skeins of different colors, so you'd get to buy yarn (woo!) and use stash yarn (extra woo!). That's a win all around.
"The Paradox of Peonies" will not be dyed again.

Visit product page →Note from Sundara...I had a lovely customer send me this inspiration photo with a request for yarn in these colors because she said that while I've dyed several bright blue Santorini inspired Daily Dreams over the years, I've never done any Santorini at night (that she could remember) and she had fond memories of the time just after sunset when she visited the island years ago.
Now she wants some yarn so she can knit herself a cute little summer sweater to go with her white pants to wear after Memorial day as an alternate to wear with her bright blue Santorini summer sweater she knit herself a few years ago. Because one can never have too many blue sweaters to wear with your white pants after Memorial day. Or so I've been told. If you are also in need of a second (or first) blue sweater to wear with your white summer pants, this is really a gorgeous dusk-inspired Santorini blue that will look just as fabulous as your daytime-inspired bright Santorini blue.
"Santorini at Dusk" will not be dyed again. Three batches available.

Visit product page →Note from Sundara...After I dyed "Scotland Yard" a few weeks ago, one of you lovelies emailed me and said you were going to Ireland in May and asked for some more green, but inspired by Ireland. And you know I love dyeing green yarn, so how could I say no?
And this is all the green. Literally all the green. Name the green and it is in there. Shamrock (Obviously. It's Ireland), moss, emerald, jade, forest, lime, olive. Hints of teal-green. It's gorgeous. Just gorgeous. So if you aren't making a trip to Ireland, but want to pretend you are, this yarn will certainly take you there.

Visit product page →Note from Sundara...This is one of those inspiration photos that I'm embarrassed to admit how long I've had kicking around because it means admitting how many times I've tried, and failed, to dye yarn inspired by it. (So many, many, many times) Let's just say it's one of those inspiration photos that keeps me humble as a yarn dyer.
But no more! I have found success! I am, at long last, triumphant! And, OMG, it is glorious! So glorious I'm keeping an embarrassing large amount of this color for myself. It's all peachy gold mixed with sunrise rosiness. It's divine. It's like the heavens opened up and angels sang. And I'm pretty sure the dye pot fairies had everything to do with it because obviously I haven't ever been able to accomplish this sort of loveliness on my own. So if you are looking for yarn touched by angels and sprinkled with fairy dust, here's your chance.😉

Visit product page →Note from Sundara...Full disclosure. This was an attempt at the robin's egg color from a week or so ago, but things didn't go as planned and I had to make do. I've been obsessing over this photo since I used it once before and decided to take the opportunity to revisit it. Because it is so very fascinating. All that obsidian sand and teal-turquoise sea. Glorious! Glorious! Glorious!
And the yarn is just as glorious. All teal-turquoise with hints of that obsidian sand washed over it. I'd knit the new "Obione" shawl by Urbane if it were me. It's 4 skeins, but the pattern is free! If you want something with fewer skeins, "Storm Shawl" by Joji is just as lovely and only needs 1 skein. I should also note that this does coordinate with the robin's egg color in fingering silky merino, so if you got some of that, and you wanted to get some of this, you'd have a few skeins of a lighter and darker in this hue for something sort of gradient-y. Or coordinate-y. Just a thought.
