Note from Sundara...I haven't dyed aran merino since February, so I wanted to go with a color that would work for a lot of people in a lot of situations. So let me tell you why blue-violet is such a great color. If you have brown hair, this is it's complement, so it will make your brown hair richer, shinier, and more glowy. If you have silver or grey hair, this will contrast with it in a super lovely way. And that's just hair. Let's talk about what colors this goes with. It's dark enough and enough shades away from denim that you can wear it with jeans. It works great with black, so you can wear it with all your black. It can be dressed down, dressed up. It's one of the most versatile colors.
And it's aran merino, so it knits up fast. I like the "Step by Step" sweater by Nicole Miller. Cute and easy. Can't go wrong there. Cardigan-wise, "Miles Shirt Jacket" by Ozetta: Haily Smedley is super cozy. Or, don't overthink things. The "Bandana Cowl" by Purl Soho only takes 1 skein. You can't have too many of those.
"The Starfish and the Sea" will not be dyed again.

Visit product page →Note from Sundara...A few months ago, I said I wanted to do a "looser" interpretation of inspiration photos, and today is one of those days. I've loved this photo for years, but could never figure out how to dye it up as yarn. I've been looking for something that feels autumn-y, because apparently I'm over summer and summer colors, and this seemed to work. I may have gone a little overboard with veering into autumn.
The two fingering merino skeins were dyed exactly like the two skeins of lace silky alpaca, so if you've ever wanted to knit something coordinating with these yarns, now is your chance. The two darker colors are like a delicious black cherry. Or stormy clouds at sunset over flamingos, as the case may be. The browns are underlaid with flamingo pink, so they have all sorts of rich, saturated color going on that makes them much more fun and "glowy" than your average brown. The darker black-red goes amazing with the brown, if you want to pair them up, but the individual colors look smashing together on their own.
"The Midnight Flamingos" will not be dyed again. Updated: 3 skeins of the browns left.

Visit product page →Note from Sundara...Summer is officially over and I thought I'd embrace that with a pale neutral, which I haven't dyed in forever. I saw this and, well, wouldn't this look fabulous wrapped around your neck as a little something-something or maybe thrown on as a comfy cardigan for chillier days? Don't we all need some neutrals in our lives?
If you are up for it, "Mossblossom" is an amazing new lace wrap by Wool & Pine that would be gorgeous in a neutral (2 skeins). If you aren't up for lace (and I don't blame you), " Mara" bu Audrey Borrego will also wind around your neck and is super chic. (1 skein). As for cardigans, I'm in love with "Noctua cardigan" by Orlane Sucche because it just looks so...knitterly.
"Where to Find a Hidden Pearl" will not be dyed again. Updated: 1 skein left.

extra fine sport merinoSold out
Visit product page →Note from Sundara...This was actually inspired by a Hibiscus my daughter got me for mother's day. This photo is the closest I could get in color. It's a gorgeous flower and I chose it because it is one of those colors that is often overlooked, but actually looks beautiful on a huge range of people, as it flatters a range of skintones. So hopefully that will entice you and now I just have to convince you why sport is a fabulous gauge.
Seriously. You all ask for sport and then no one buys it. Which is crazy, because it is so versatile and there are so many projects. You can knit pretty much any fingering weight accessory out there on bigger needles using sport gauge and it will just be slightly bigger and cozier. AND! There are hundreds of amazing patterns out there for this weight yarn. I love the "River's Song" vest by Emma Ducher. Or the "Elisabeth Blouse" by PetiteKnits. Or "Poppy Tee" also by PetiteKnits. OR!! " Fjolla" by Isabell Kraemer. Also, "Mabel" by Isabell Kraemer. The "Lithium Shawl" by Annelie Thomasson is amazing, if you aren't up for a sweater. And the "Pacific Crest Trail" hat by Kay Hopkins, if you want a smaller project. So really, there is no excuse not to embrace sport as a gauge!!

Visit product page →Note from Sundara...I googled "autumn blues" and this shade of blue came up. A lot of them had browns in them, but I've done a lot of brown recently. I don't regret it. This turned out just lovely. If you want something that has the feelings of crisp autumn mornings blanketed with the sweet silence and mystery of a bit of fog, this is for you.
But, almost even better than the color, let's talk about this yarn. I knit my sister a big, blanket-type scarf-wrap out of this yarn and gave it to her in July. She's worn it so much that when I saw my 4-year-old niece last week, she demanded that I make her one "like her Mom's". Obviously, 4-year-olds don't get silky merino cashmere, but I was thrilled that my sister wore her gift that much. That's how great this yarn is. You'll wear it even when it's too hot to wear knit things. It's just that soft and amazing and silky and gorgeous. It's the best yarn, ever.
