Sold outStormy extra fine fingering merino
Sold out
Visit product page →Note from Sundara...so, for well over a decade, I've been trying to come up with the perfect blend of grey and purple that I had envisioned in my head. I've dyed attempts dozens of times, but they always seem to end up too purple. It's been maddening. It's my color nemesis.
Even before the Daily Dreams, the color was always been inspired by those purple tinged storm clouds. I could see the color so clearly, but it always was just out of reach when it came to getting it on the yarn. Then I saw this photo and thought, heh, let's try again. AND IT WORKED. I finally cracked the code of grey yarn tinged with purple. The key is in the red-violet. The purple needs to be plum, then the grey converts it to the perfect shade of purple-grey. All these years, I've been using too much purple and not enough red. Silly me.
Sadly, I did not write down how I dyed this color. It was me adding drops of dye until it came out just how I wanted. So there are only a few batches available and I may or may not be able to re-create this particular color. Get it while the getting is good.

Sold outSunkissed super sock
Sold out
Visit product page →Note from Sundara...I had a request from a lovely customer in Minnesota who is stuck in the snow, quite a bit of snow, and ready for winter to be over. She requested "bright and sunny" sock yarn so that the next time it snows, she can wear bright, happy socks. I thought that was an imminently reasonable request and I could not say no to a woman stuck in the snow.
This was the warmest, sunniest, inspiration photo of the colors I wanted to dye that I could find, and the yarn is a delicious melody of warm peaches, melons, apricots, all the way into pink lemonade and maybe a bit of very electric watermelon. It's as warm and sunny as I can imagine and your feet will thank you for socks knit in this color. Especially if it is cold and snowy outside.
Just two batches available.

Visit product page →Note from Sundara...I warned you yesterday I was on a light colored kick. Possibly obsession. BUT really, I wanted to prove to myself that yesterday's yarn was truly purple and that I could also dye a light colored yarn that was BETWEEN blue and purple. AND I DID. (please forgive me. I'm a color nerd. these things excite me.)
So today's color is not purple, but not totally blue. It definitely veers into blue, but it's a more indigo, violet color. It hews the line right between purple and true blue. It's also lovely and will make a fabulously squishy sweater or hat or whatever you want to knit in April. Or stash away for later.
Just two batches available.

Visit product page →To Start: there are 5 skeins of DK merino, 5 skeins of extra fine aran merino, and 6 skeins of extra fine fingering merino. I'll try to update these totals at the yarn sells, but may not get to it immediately, but the shopping cart will not let you buy any more than is available. This info is just FYI :)

Visit product page →(I dyed a few extra so what is left are Odds & Ends)
Note from Sundara...I think that this is the lightest color I've ever dyed, although I'm 13 years into yarn dying and there is probably a skein or two out there that will prove a declarative statement like that wrong. But I'm still excited by it probably being the lightest color I've dyed. It is a special request by a customer who wanted "a lighter pink that She Sells Seashells", which was a light, light pink from a few years ago.
I tried my best to go lighter, although depending on where the skein is in the pot, a few of these may veer into She Sells Seashells territory, although this color is more variegated than that color. AND all these yarn bases are new.
Most importantly, I think this is my new favorite color of all time and I've thrown out my will power from last week and am saving a sweaters quantity of this color in aran weight for my next sweater. It's too pretty to pass up. It's like bundling yourself up in yarn petals. I can't resist.

Visit product page →(I ended up dyeing a bit of extra skeins of this color because so many customers ordered sweater quantities and I wanted to ensure I had enough to match skeins as best I could - so I have a few extra Odds & Ends left)
Note from Sundara...I've been meaning to ask the mill that does my extra fine merinos and the DK merino yarn bases if they'd be able to spin a sport weight yarn and then they went and did it for me without my even asking. How great is that? And just in time for spring and summer knitting!
Of course, I haven't gotten the yarn yet, but I should have some in my hot little hands some time next week. I'm told it is soft and springy, with 4 plies and "twist for extra robustness". I didn't want to wait to offer it to you, so you can order it and expect it to be similar to the DK merino.
And the color is extra spring-like, since we are officially over winter, emotionally, but not weather-wise.Today's color is a phantasm of periwinkles, lilacs, lavender, with a bit of purple-teal thrown in for good measure. It's delightful.
