Note from Sundara...I know I've used this inspiration photo in the past, but I wanted to revisit it using my new dye technique that I keep nattering on about because I wanted a super duper fully saturated red. And that's what we've got. This could not be any more richer and more consistent throughout the skein and strands. It's super duper gorgeous.
You could make pretty much anything you want out of this color. It will hold up to whatever you throw out at. But, because I like to stalk Ravelry's "what's hot now" pattern feature, some projects that you might consider are the "Evolving" sweater by Rachel Illsley. It is seriously gorgeous. Even if you don't knit sweaters you should check it out because it is so lovely. The "Nurmilintu" shawl by Heidi Alander needs just 1 skein and boasts not one single purl stitch. And if you love the hook, check out the "Belladonna Blouse" by Laura Murphy, which would be perfect for when summer arrives. Or use this as an excuse to stalk Ravelry yourself to find the perfect project!
"The Petals Edge" will not be dyed again. Yarn will ship next week.
Extra Fine Fingering Merino is 437 yards and 100 grams of 100% super wash merino.
7 stitches per inch on US 3/3.25mm needles.
Gently hand wash in tepid water for project longevity.
Orders for 2+ skeins will be matched as closely as possible.
All yarn is shipped via USPS Priority mail.

Visit product page →Note from Sundara...I have a horrible, terrible, highly irrational fear of vampires. I know a lot of people love vampires, but I've always shied away of doing anything vampire-related because they might come and GET ME. Vampires are real, y'all. Don't try to convince me otherwise. But I was asked to dye a yarn for socks that would be a little something-something if they were worn with black pants and black shoes but not be, you know, garish. And I saw this photo and all I could think of was VAMPIRES. But it was also just the perfect color for this request, so I set my fears aside.
This is truly the perfect color if you are in need of a pair of socks to wear with black pants and black shoes. It's also the perfect color if you want something inspired by a vampire's garden. Or it's also the perfect color if you are in the market for a dark blackened red. It's super gorgeous. And I promise you, it won't suck your blood.
"The Vampire's Garden" will not be dyed again.

Visit product page →Note from Sundara...I wanted to use my new and improved dye methods that I improved even more to dye a nearly solid dark, dark espresso brown because it's such a great neutral and can be used in so many different ways.
Like if you need a cardigan to throw on over just about anything, the "Hitofude Cardigan" by Hiroko Fukatsu is pretty much everybody's favorite. Or if you need a backdrop for color work, it will make just about any color stand out. "Pink Velvet" by Andrea Mowry is a good one that actually uses brown in the sample. Or if you need a base color for one of those rainbow shawls that are all over Ravelry, this will work wonderfully. I'm a fan of "Lamina" by Ambah O'Brien because it has both a wrap and a cowl option. Or you know, you could just use this for anything you want because espresso is a great color.

Visit product page →Note from Sundara...I'm ready for winter to be over and for spring to bloom all over the place, so when I saw these, well, I gasped because so pretty! And I had to dye us some dark lilac inspired yarn. I used my new dye methods, and then I tried a new method to improve upon that method so these are even newer and improved dye methods to make this super saturated and just a glorious subtle, solid color with all sorts of hue variation within that lilac purple.
Which means you can use this for pretty much anything. Lace in particular would be stunning and I just saw a new pattern on Ravelry, "Hazelnoot" by Susanne Visch, which is a very lacy wrap. It's to die for. Yes, it's a lot of lace, but it would be so worth. It's one of those projects that will make people stop you in the street to ohh and ahh over your amazing skills. (1-2 skeins depending on which size you knit). If you aren't up for all that lace, then something like "Venezia" by Joji is a great 1 skein alternative. And for my crocheters, I love the "Flowery Filet" scarf by Fran Mori. (2 skeins)
"Spring Out of the Darkness" will not be dyed again. Two batches available.

Visit product page →Note from Sundara...I actually didn't mean to dye this color again. I started out dyeing another inspiration photo, but it turned into this color on accident. I think the yarn wanted to be this color, so I went with it. It's even deeper and richer than the original "A Mighty Gale" on the silky alpaca. It's super stunning. An navy over what you could call teal or turquoise, but it's a blued teal or turquoise, so maybe it's more like a dark blue that leans blue-green. If you want to get technical about it.
As for what to knit, I feel like this would be a really spectacular alternative to the bright cobalt blue version of the blue short-sleeve sweater with white pants that we are all so fond of wearing in the summer. Because sometimes it's good to mix things up. You could go with the always popular "Anker's Tee" by Petite Knits or "Cloudesley" by Isabell Kraemer is another fun one. Or, if you are looking for something new, the "Flicker" shawl by Janina Kallio is gorgeous and just released. It would be divine in this color.
"A Mighty Gale" will not be dyed again.
