Note from Sundara...How great is the combination of this teal-aqua stoneware pottery with all the hues of espresso? I thought it was completely captivating. Also, delicious. I didn't get enough sleep so I'm lacking for...uh, words today. I'm just going to give you some possible project ideas and hope that will convince you to get some of this gorgeous yarn. Cause it it really is gorgeous.
Sweaters! "Gridlines" by Susanne Sommer would be awesome. Will totally work with the variegation and the vertical-ness is a nice change from most sweaters. Also, slimming!
Accessories! "Amren" by Joji (1 skein) because tassels! And garter with some lace! "Dunluce Shawl" by Brenda Brayfield (1 skein) because it's almost like a cross between a shawl and a scarf. Finally, "Timeless Hat and Hand Warmers" by Purl Soho (1 skein) because it's starting to get cold out there and this is a classic. Also, free!

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...There's a pattern for a shawl, "Billow" by Lisa Mutch that is designed for 3 skeins of this yarn. It's specifically two colors, and then the middle color is a mix of the two colors. It's an absolutely gorgeous pattern and I've dyed sets of yarn for it before.
It popped up on the Ravelry "Hot Right Now" section a few weeks ago, so I thought I'd dye up a set for us. I wanted to do a peach and dark blueish-indigo, and found this photo. It turned out absolutely perfect. A lovely pale peach. Gorgeous dark, rich blue and the middle skein balances them just right. And the yarn! So soft and squishy and bouncy with a bit of shimmer and shine. It's delicious. If you haven't knit this pattern yet, this might be one to add to your To Be Knit list.
"From Darkness, Light" will not be dyed again. Updated 1 set left. Each set includes 1 skein of each color. The "Billow" pattern requires 1 set of yarn.

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.
"Into the Mystic" will not be dyed again.

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!!
"Hibiscus" will not be dyed again.
