Note from Sundara...I had every intention of keeping to my word and NOT dyeing this yarn again. It's gorgeous, fabulous yarn that I love knitting with, but I do not like dyeing with it. The skeins are small and just get messy for some reason. But. Here's the thing. I came across "Onda d'Amore" by Justyna Lorkowska, which is a lovely little 3-color shawl knit out of this yarn and I just HAD to dye up a triadic color combination for it because it would be gorgeous and fabulous and lovely.
You can check out the pattern here. (Seriously, go look, it's worth it). Here colors are lovely, but these colors are even better. These three colors (red-orange, blue-violet, and yellow-green) are equidistant (120 and 240 degrees) apart on the color wheel, which makes them a triangle, and a triangle is the most stable shape. Like I've said before, you cannot go wrong with this color combination because math proves it. It's the perfect pattern, the perfect yarn, and the perfect colors.
"Three O'Clock Rock" will not be dyed again. Ten sets available. Each set contains 2 skeins of blue-violet (MC), and 1 skein each of the red-orange and yellow-green (CCs). You need one set to knit "Onda d'Amore."

Note from Sundara...This little guy is a "lilac-breasted roller" and according to Wikipedia is a "vagrant" to the southern Arabian peninsula. I sort of adore that birds can be vagrants. Especially such a cute bird. I had one of my best customers send me this photo and request a set of yarn inspired by our little vagrant to knit "Kallara" by Ambah O'Brien. Who could say no to that face? Also Kallara is a great pattern and those are some pretty colors. Like so pretty. I'm absolutely in love with this purple-tinged- with-pink and the turquoise is like looking out over a perfect Caribbean sea.
Since I dyed these colors to go together, I'm selling them as a set. You'll need 1 set to knit Kallara, which would really be amazing in this yarn wrapped around your neck. If Kallara isn't your thing, you could check out "Zorzal" by Lisa Hannes or the ever popular "Cladonia" by Kirsten Kapur. Both need 1 set, take full advantage of the silky cashmere softness and the glorious contrasting colors.
"The Littlest Birds" will not be dyed again. Updated: 1 set left. One set is two skeins: 1 skein of each color.

Note from Sundara...I've been trying to figure out how to dye yarn based on this inspiration photo for, well, a couple years. It's a glorious photo. All those rich colors, and we love poppies. When I finally admitted it could not be dyed as a single-skein color, I originally thought I'd make this a duo color combo, but then I thought it might be interesting to expand it and see what happened. And isn't this pretty? In a dark and mysterious way?
The best of the bunch is #1, the blue fingering silk. It's that dark sky blue but it's got greeny-teal bits layered underneath that give it a subtle richness and depth of color that makes it so much more than just blue. It pairs super gorgeously with #4, the red, which I toned down just a tad so it's a rich, summer red rather than BRIGHT summer red. The others, #2, the red fingering silky merino singles and #3, the dark blackened blue layered over green in fingering silky merino are for those of you who maybe don't like knitting with 100% silk. The red is a little more twilight, with a blue layered over it, and the green is a bit more mysterious, what with those darks layered over the brighter poppy stem-green. Each skein is lovely all on its own, or, as a set of four, they capture the rich feel of summer poppies.
"Twilight of the Poppies" will not be dyed again. Half a batch of each color available.

Note from Sundara...A bunch of you asked for the triadic color combination I did earlier this week on fingering merino. I am happy to oblige, although remember merino takes color differently than silk and alpaca.. Here's what I said about those colors the first time...
This is a "triadic color combination," which means each color on a color wheel is 120 degrees apart and if you drew a line between the three, it would form a triangle. Triangles are considered one of the most stable shapes and, not coincidentally, in color theory, triadic color combinations are considered some of the most harmonious. You pretty much can't go wrong when you combine them. And really, these look amazing together. So amazing, I decided to sell them as a set.
There are 80 bazillion projects for fingering weight yarn that use 3 colors. I know this because I checked Ravelry. so instead of giving you project options, I'm going to let you pick something. Because like I said last time, you can knit whatever you want out of this set. It will all work out because this is a triad of colors and you literally can't go wrong. It's mathematically impossible.
"A Trio of Temptation" will not be dyed again. Updated: 5 sets left.

Note from Sundara...One thing that can be a conundrum when you want to use color theory for color combining is how to use red and green, which are complements, in a combo without them looking like CHRISTMAS. Christmas really ruined red and green for the rest of the year. Complements, in case you have forgotten, are colors that are opposite each other on the color wheel. The answer, of course, is to lighten the red into pink. Which is why we all love a good pink and green combo.
One of the freedoms of not using an inspiration photo for the last few days is that I'm able to dye up colors I haven't felt the freedom to in a while. This green? Absolutely impossible to find in the photos I have access to. Or at least in photos that I have access to that are also pretty. It's a gorgeous, gorgeous green. I've avoided dyeing this particular green for years specifically because I can't find it in photos. And it is phenomenal with pink. Obviously it is, we are still talking math here. You can't go wrong when you use math to combine color. Especially in pink and green and especially on shiny, shiny silk.
"Complementary" will not be dyed again.

If it were me, I'd knit Joji's "Echoes of Color" shawl. This yarn is surprisingly lovely to throw over your shoulders on a summer night if the wind picks up. The other project I like is "Neridah" by Ambah O'Brien, which uses exactly 328 yards of three colors. It's like it was designed for this yarn. Or, pick something else. It will all work out because this is a triad of colors and you literally can't go wrong. It's mathematically impossible.

Note from Sundara...Well, I have to admit I felt entirely liberated by not using a inspiration photo last Friday. So much so that I didn't use one today and I may not use one tomorrow. I've been feeling increasingly constricted and like something has been holding me back with my yarn dyeing and it may just be that I feel constrained by using inspiration photos. I have some theories as to why, but I won't bore you. We are here to talk about yarn.
I obviously wasn't finished with my need to dye a blue-teal-green gradient, since I had these similar colors on Friday. The difference is this is obviously DK silky merino and there are only 3 shades instead of 4. Also, DK silky merino takes color way differently than the fingering merino. But OMG is it so soft and squishy. I was going to sell these as set, but honestly, I sort of want a sweater out of this yarn, so I'm offering them separately in case one of you wants to do the same. Although a sweater out of this gradient would be divine. You really can't go wrong no matter what you do with any combination of this yarn and these colors.
"Out of the Doldrums" will not be dyed again. Updated: 2 skeins left of the teal.
