Visit product page →Note from Sundara...Continuing our grown-ups version of Halloween, I thought I'd find inspiration from a lake in the area with an old story about a "Lady of the Lake." It's rather gruesome, so I won't go into details, but I always think of her ghost, haunting the lake. It's a beautiful place, if you're going to spend eternity haunting some place.
I always imagine her faint and ethereal, silent and mysterious in the foggy morning mist. I also always imagine she'd be quite lovely to women and small children, but absolutely terrifying to horrid men. So her yarn, of course, needed to be this quiet grey, but with that glowing pink wash over it, making a calm, peaceful yarn for those days when you need one.
Only three batches available.

Visit product page →Note from Sundara...I'm not sure how easy it is to get your hands on a purple artichoke in real life, but my mother grows them, so I've had plenty of opportunities to inspect the color up close and personal and I've always found them fascinating. It's such an interesting mix of a mossy, golden green overplayed with a rich, almost royal purple. I'm not sure why it took me so long to get around to dyeing yarn inspired by the flower. They are technically a flower, aren't they?
Regardless, the yarn is fabulous. Very autumny without being obvious about it. It's one of those unexpected color combinations that tends to be so unusual, yet so perfect that you can't help but notice it and want to look closer.

Visit product page →Note from Sundara...I dyed a "rainbows of grey" color earlier this summer and I wanted to do a darker, winterery version of the color, but let me tell you, dyeing these rainbow colors is terrifying. The first few layers look like a 1980s Thriller album nightmare, then the blues get added and it's almost like a competition between baby boy versus baby girl, but on crack. BUT THEN. Then, I add the final few layers of color and everything comes together and it's MAGIC. It sort of makes me feel like I'm running through a field of wildflowers on a sunny day. Or maybe Julie Andrews up in the hills, singing how alive they are.
The yarn has, obviously, a rainbow of colors––indigo blues veering into teal greens which meld into forest greens, all underlit with a glowing pink dawn color. It will hopefully bring you as much knitting magic as it brings me dyeing magic. It will certainly bring you as much color as one could possibly hope for.

Sold outGothic Nights fingering silky merino
Sold out
Visit product page →Note from Sundara...all the kids are getting excited for Halloween, so I thought I'd look there for some inspiration. Although I wanted more grown-up inspiration for us. The midnight, moon lit blues in this photo caught my eye, and doesn't this seem like the sort of place vampires or the ghost of some wronged maiden of lost yore might haunt?
The blues of this yarn are way more complex than the yarn and the inspiration photo would led you to believe. I threw every blue I had at this yarn, so the undertones run the range of deep purpley-indigo all the way through to blueish-teal, but all in a smooth, night sky sort of way. And it's finger silky merino, so soft and silky and sure to keep your neck warm. And safe from vampires.
Just two batches available.

Visit product page →Note from Sundara...I can't seem to break free of my compulsion to choose a soft and fuzzy inspiration photo when I dye this yarn. It doesn't matter how hard I try. The feel of the photo has to match that soft and fuzzy mohair. Of course, this sort of photo always makes me think of fairies and then how could these colors not make me think of autumn? But lest you think that, like the autumn mermaids from earlier this week, Autumn Fairies were some odd thing I'm making up to satisfy our yarn dreams, then you haven't watched the Disney Fairy movies.
Unlike me. I've watched all five multiple times, so I know that Autumn Fairies are totally a thing. Along with Winter Fairies and Fast-Flying Fairies. Seriously, those movies are great and I highly recommend watching them while knitting. Don't let your eight year old tell you you are "too old" to watch them just because she thinks she is. Although, if you've recently lost a beloved dog, maybe skip the one about the Neverbeast. I still can't watch that one without crying.
But back to yarn that would delight any Autumn Fairy. This soft and fluffy stuff is full of rich wines and burgundies and deep plums with the most delightful white gold color shining through in little rivers of silken thread. It's the most interesting mix of color. Totally unexpected, yet it works, just like the inspiration photo. It's a total dream.
One and a half batches available.

Visit product page →Note from Sundara...bear with me as I try to explain my vision for this yarn, I've still got this terrible cold––I think my only moments of lucidity yesterday was when I dyed this yarn. Which was fortunate, because it turned out brilliant. I don't know if my explanation will be anywhere near as lucid or brilliant.
We're having a ridiculously early autumn/winter. I had frost on my car window this morning. I'm still cold all the time. I've already mentioned my stupid head cold that I caught way too early in the season, and I'm longing for summer, but summer colors don't seem appropriate, so I thought darker, wintery, icy, frozen blackberries would be perfect. But I've already dyed yarn for this inspiration photo, and I wanted a color with a little more to it. So I thought I'd deconstruct it. Or maybe "smush" the blackberries, if you will.
And it is fabulous! The base of this color is a dark blue-black with an icy-frozen tone to it, and then running throughout are streaks of blackish-pink-magenta and lighter, true icy bits, and then all sorts of hues in between those colors. It's magnificent. It'd be like if you took a fork to those frozen blackberries, with maybe a little milk, and all the colors ran together just enough to make it fascinating, but not enough to make it a smoothie. Does that make sense? Hopefully. Because it is so pretty and the yarn photo doesn't do it justice, so hopefully you'll take my rambling, foggy-headed word for it.

Sold outMermaids of Autumn super sock
Sold out
Visit product page →Note from Sundara...I have to admit, it didn't occur to me that there might be seasonal mermaids until this yarn didn't turn out as I planned due to dyeing while still recovering from a bad cold. Of course, the yarn was actually prettier than what I had originally envisioned, so I didn't mind. It was much darker and mysterious, and it felt like autumn rather than glistening and golden sunlight.
Although there is definitely golden bits throughout––don't let the way this particular skein ended up being photographed fool you––this color is all deep and rich teals suffused with autumnal golds, golden greens, and a bit of marine blues. It's striking and will make the most fabulous pair of mermaid tail socks for those of you with mermaid dreams.
