high twist sockSold out
Visit product page →Note from Sundara...I've been wanting to dye yarn based on this inspiration photo for ages and ages, but you know, orange and teal-turquoise do not mix when you blend them together the way I dye yarn. You get mud. But with this speckled thing I've got going, and the coordinating solid, I thought I could maybe see what came about. And well, hopefully you all like what came about.
I did decide to give the teal speckles yarn a bit more of a deconstructed thing going on than the inspiration photo color, but it doesn't totally show in the yarn photo. It's got two different colors, both a green-teal and a turquoise-teal, which feel free to mock me at how little difference there is between those two colors, but THERE IS. (And if anyone is wondering how this is different from the "Below the Ice" teal-blue yarn from a bit ago, well that was BLUE and teal and more muted and had more white, so you know, TOTALLY different.)
And the orange is glorious. It makes the teal-turquoise pop. It's so fun. Seriously. It's like the most cheerful combination of colors.
"Island Sunset" will not be dyed again. I'm still trying to figure out the ideal ration of speckled to solid, so I didn't dye all the yarn and have made available what I think will work, but I'll change it if one sells out more quickly than the other. So about two batches of the speckles and about one batch of the solid available. But that could change based on what you all seem to want.

Visit product page →Note from Sundara...Now, hopefully all of you are thinking...uh, that inspiration photo does not look anything like that yarn. Which yes. I know. Hear me out.
I was all set to dye us some lovely green silk. I mean look at that inspiration photo. Don't you want shiny silk yarn in those colors? I sure do. So I put the first green dye in the pot and it wasn't the right color at all, so I went about fixing it and I added all sorts of colors. A couple of pinks. Some oranges. A smorgasbord of colors to make it the green I wanted. It was lovely. But no purple. Let me be clear. There was no purple anywhere near those dye pots.
Then I put the yarn in and that happened. The yarn went all those colors that I don't even know what to call it. It's like maybe celery? But like not a bad celery. Like a gorgeous, shimmery, slinky celery that you'd want to wear if you were wearing a gown on a red carpet to a movie premiere. And that's definitely a grey-purple over it. Like a storm-cloud grey-purple that I've tried to capture a zillion times and usually failed. Of course. NOW I get the color I've dreamed of. When I have no idea how I did it.
So you know. I couldn't keep going and make this the color I was planning. I had to leave it because I'll never be able to re-create this color. I have no idea what I did. I l was just dumping in dye powder and then it didn't do what it was supposed to do because that happens sometimes. So, um, get some of this yarn. Because it's amazing and will never, ever happen again.
"With Wonder" will seriously never be dyed again. I really can't stress that enough because I'm just so irritated with myself for getting caught up in the moment and not writing down what I did. Two batches available. Yarn will ship next week.

Visit product page →Note from Sundara...So, one of the colors I found in my little discovery of Daily Dream colors I'd dyed years and years ago but forgotten I'd written down and saved how I'd dyed was my very first Edgar Allan Poe inspired yarn, obviously named, Poe. It's still one of my favorites, because look at that crow on the a gravestone! So Poe-ish! And the color. Black over green and a reddish-orange that might be rust, but not really because it's way better than rust. Somehow it's so Telltale Heart with maybe a bit of The Raven thrown in for fun. It's a Poe lovers dream.
And I thought I should definitely dye us some up, since it is our favorite spooky time of year and this is such a great Autumn without being obvious about it (which is apparently my favorite sort of Autumn this year). And I'm so in love with this color because it's something you just never see but it's so fantastically interesting and somehow harmonious and not at all creepy, despite being so Poe-ish.
"Poe" will not be dyed again. Or at least not for another five or so years. Three batches available. Yarn will ship next week.

Visit product page →Note from Sundara...I've been unable to get this yarn base for what feels like forever (still hating covid), but probably has only been a few months, and I have had enough on hand for exactly one more day of Daily Dreams that I've been hoarding that entire time. BUT, I can now get more of this yarn, so I felt safe dyeing this up as our last coveted color, Summer Seastorms. Which sold out super fast and a lot of you wanted more of. So here you go.
Here's what I said about this color last time: It's like a light silvery fluffy cloud of poofy amazingness. It's the perfect yarn to knit the "Windy Fields" shawl by Marjut Lund-Rahkola. Which I've been lusting over since it came out in April. It's amazing. Seriously. You should knit it with this yarn. But, if you don't want to knit that, this color is pretty much good for anything. I mean it's silver. What could be better?
"Summer Seastorms" will not be dyed again. Two batches available. yarn will ship next week.

Autumn Meadow
super sock$23.00
Visit product page →Note from Sundara...I'm still thinking of renaming this yarn to Luxury Sock, but it will take me months to make that kind of decision because I am terrible at making decisions. So expect to listen to me natter on about it for a while. The mill is still out of fingering merino and fingering silky merino and now they are out of fingering merino cashmere, so my fingering options are limited. It's a good thing Super Sock is so lovely, because OH MY GOD, you totally need to get one of each of these. Or some combination of both of these because they look so amazing together.
I figured I'd dye a speckled and a coordinating somewhat solid because you all seemed to like that last time, and I came up with this speckled, which: awesome. How fall-ish without being obvious about it is that? It's so lovely. But then I went and dyed that green and when you put them next to each other it makes each of them SO MUCH BETTER. Seriously. I don't even know what to tell you to knit, but get some of each and find something. It'll be spectacular. And this yarn is nice enough that you can put it around your neck, so do that.
That is all.
"Autumn Meadow" will not be dyed again. One and a half batches of each version available. Yarn will ship next week. Speckled yarn is slightly higher cost because I have to dye each skein one at a time and it takes a long while and solid is a little more because I dye smaller batches than usual.

Visit product page →Note from Sundara...We are continuing our trip down memory lane or A.K.A. "Sundara finds colors she thought she had lost forever but had actually written down and saved like a good little yarn dyer" with one of my favorites from, again, years and years ago, Reverberations. Look at it! Isn't it glorious?
I'm fairly sure I dyed this on like sport or something and so this, being lace silky merino, is way more variegated than the original, and hence, even more interesting. It's got everything from turquoise to forest green to indigo to dark navy blue tinged with almost purple. And then about 8,000 colors in between. Some of you have complained that you want these colors on yarn that isn't lace weight and I had to tell you that only lace weight takes colors this way (sad face), so I will tell all of you what I told them: hold the yarn double if you want to knit with this color. It will become fingering weight and actually way more interesting this way. And it's like the plushest, most squishy way to knit yarn. So don't let the lace gauge hold you back.
"Reverberations" will not be dyed again because I'm very nearly out of one of the dyes required to dye this color and I hadn't planned on buying more of that particular dye. Two batches available. Yarn will ship next week.

Visit product page →Note from Sundara...Years ago, and I mean years and years, I dyed a color named Below the Ice using this inspiration photo and just last week I found a note on how I dyed the color. Now, I see this photo all the time and for years have wanted to dye it again, but didn't think I had written down how I dyed it. So that was a fun little artifact to come across. And then I decided to make it fun for all of us and see how it would look if I used the two colors and speckled the yarn instead of dyeing it my normal way. What do you think?
I'm pretty happy with it. It feels very below the ice-ish. With some polar bear. All marine greens and blues.I thought I'd see how we'd feel about doing a sort-of solid coordinating color to go along with it, for those of you who are maybe thinking about a project that might need a coordinating solid-er color to go along with some speckled yarn, so I dyed up a few skeins in a somewhat solid sort of color. It's been dyed to go with the speckled skeins rather than the inspiration photo. Just so you know. Anyway. Let me know what you think. Or just buy the yarn cause that will tell me you like it!
"Below the Ice" will not be dyed again. One and a half batches of the speckled available. A half batch of the somewhat solid available. Yarn will ship next week.

Sold outThrough the Woods
super sockSold out
Visit product page →Note from Sundara...What seems like dozens and dozens and dozens of you asked for more of this color, but alas, the original fingering merino I dyed it in is out of stock until probably late November (seriously, how over Covid are we?). So I've been contemplating what yarn to use to dye more of it and finally settled on super sock.
Mainly because I feel like I maybe mis-named this yarn. Super sock seems like it would be a tough sort of sock yarn, when in reality, this is like a luxury sock yarn. It's like the princess of sock yarn. I might even rename the yarn. I don't know why you'd want it for socks. I mean, it's great for socks, but you shouldn't confine yourself to socks. It feels great on your neck, as a sweater or a hat. It's perfect for babies as they need something with a little something-something because of all that spit-up so you can wash this and yet it's still soft for their delicate skin. It's pretty much the perfect yarn. And now it's the green everyone wanted. Have at it.
"Through the Woods" won't be dyed again. Unless you all buy this up super fast and those of you who didn't get any lay guilt trips on me. Three batches available. Yarn will ship next week. I'm charging an extra $2 because this color requires two days and two separate trips to the dye pot rather than the usual one.

Visit product page →Note from Sundara...After much futzing around, I think I've found a method of speckling yarn that I'm happy with. Or at least, let's say I've found a method I'm happy with. For now. I am a perfectionist, so there is a good chance I will keep futzing. But I'm super happy with this color. Look how pretty it is! And those speckles! And even better, I was able to get remarkable consistency between all the skeins I dyed. With the caveat that it is hand dyed yarn. And speckled. Which, I should point out, should be some strong caveats. But if you look at all the yarn together, it is most definitely the same color. Go me.
You all are probably a little cranky because sport weight is always the least popular gauge. Probably because there aren't a lot of patterns for sport weight yarn. But I found some good ones. "Beaufort 5" is a delicious cardigan by Isabel Kramer for anyone who wants to attempt a sweater. "Undulation" scarf/wrap by Jane Vanselous for the crocheters amongst us. Or for those of you who just want to watch the yarn run through their fingers because they love seeing the color as it comes, "Fly Fox Shawl" by Olga Fahim should suffice.
As an aside: as is the nature of speckled yarn, some of these skeins have multicolors in their speckles that are not shown in this photo. I'll match all orders for 2+ skeins as closely as I can.
"The Last Flowers of Fall" will not be dyed again. Three batches available. Yarn will ship next week.
