Visit product page →Note from Sundara...We are in that in between season, where it is no longer really autumn, but it isn't actually winter yet either, it's just sort of brown and muddy. So I'm living vicariously through inspiration photos and wouldn't this just be like something out of a dream?
These colors are definitely winter blues and turquoises. They lack the in-your-face brightness of summer colors, instead they have a winter softness, bits of greys are weaved throughout and the blue hints towards navy and melds in with the turquoise here and there. And then there are the light bits of of snow. It's as dreamy as a winterscape, but without the frozen toes and melted bits of ice that get down your shirt.
"Trees of Ice" is available to order until 10am, pacific, Thursday, November 15. Yarn will ship the week after next.

Visit product page →Note from Sundara...every year around this time or maybe a little closer to December, I regret not growing an amaryllis from a bulb, because it must be so gratifying. So much more gratifying than buying one already in bloom. But once again, I missed my chance and have to make do. Since I dye yarn, we can all make up for a missed opportunity with yarn inspired by a particularly spectacular amaryllis.
This aran merino is, of course, soft and squishy, but dark and deep and rich magenta-purple, although you really can't call it magenta-purple, because those two words make you think of bright colors, and this is definitely not bright. It's somewhere between magenta, purple, red-violet and a whole bunch of shades in between, with both dark bits and light bits and I really think it would make a gorgeous sweater, if you are so inclined.
"The Winter Amaryllis" is available to order until 10am, pacific, Wednesday, November 14. Yarn will ship the week after Thanksgiving.

Visit product page →Note from Sundara...I came across this photo the other day and gave a little squeal because the caption revealed that the lake is Lake Crescent, which just happens to be a lake on the Olympic Peninsula just a ways from where I live, that, on hot summer days, we take big floaty inner-tubes out to and float around with beverages while the kids splash about and then we grill and eat a whole bunch and then float around some more. It's basically the greatest way you could spend a hot summer day.
And so while it may be November and the only people who might truly be excited about this color are me and my knitter sister-in-law who knows the utter bliss of lake days, it does happen to be a gorgeous color. It's an indigo-violet that can't decide if it is indigo or violet, being somewhere between the two colors, and then streaking through it are shades of dusty dawn rose-pink. And then both those colors have shades darker and shades lighter and then bits where they merge together to create something in-between. It's divine.
"Lady of the Lake" is available to order until 10am, pacific, Saturday, November 10. Yarn will ship later next week.

Visit product page →Note from Sundara...I've dyed a few special requests from lovely customers who want to knit themselves Christmas projects, which got me thinking that I've never knit myself anything specifically Christmas-y and I've always been jealous of this bright red scarf my mom wears every December that always looks so festive and merry.
So while I may not actually get to wear this until next Christmas because I'm a slow knitter, I decided to start "Waiting For Rain" by Sylvia McFadden out of a beautiful bright red yarn. Extra Fine Fingering Merino is my new favorite shawl yarn, as it is sproingy and soft, so that was an easy choice of yarn bases (you'll need 2 skeins for this specific project). Cranberries seemed like an obvious choice for color inspiration and so here we are.
The yarn is every shade of red you can imagine while still seemingly being somewhat of a solid, so the lace will pop with brightness, but won't be overshadowed with variegation and the garter sections should be subtlety shaded and not at all boring. So if you'd like to knit yourself something for the holiday, or maybe next December (if you are slow like me, but like to make plans...), here's the yarn!
"Captivating Cranberry" is available to order until 10am, pacific, Friday, November 9. Yarn will ship next week.

Sold outChimera of Clouds DK merino
Sold out
Visit product page →Note from Sundara...I choose this inspiration photo because it looks like someone took a palette knife of blue and violet oil paint and smeared it across the sky. Which may not sound all that enticing unless you are one of those people that secretly hordes art supplies, then it's like the best thing ever. And I imagine there are more than a few of us who horde both yarn and art supplies. Or at least can understand the urge.
As for the color. I kept the black out of the color and stuck with the indigos and violets. The skeins of yarn look like someone took a palette knife and smeared the colors through the strands of yarn and it is divine. I should think it will knit up just as divine, with the added bonus of being soft, squishy, and bouncy, because it is DK merino.
"Chimera of Clouds" is available to order until Thursday, November 8 at 10am, pacific. Yarn will ship next week.

Sold outThe Twists of Love aran silky merino
Sold out
Visit product page →Note from Sundara...a lovely customer sent me a photo of some flowers she grew this summer with a request for me to dye some aran silky merino for her, because, despite them being summer flowers, she felt the color lent itself particularly well to a winter shawl. I agreed and found the lighter shades of this photo to be pretty close to what she was wanting. Hopefully.
It's a dark magenta-y color that could almost be considered wine. Maybe more of a sangria color, but it definitely goes pink rather than burgundy, but it has that same depth and richness of wine. It's gorgeous and if I'd dyed more, I might keep some for myself. But because there is only one batch available, I'll be generous and let you all have it.
Just one batch available.

Visit product page →Note from Sundara...some of you may remember this inspiration photo from a few weeks ago when I dyed what I then called "the prettiest color I've dyed all year." That color was in DK merino and I've been curious to see how the color would look in fingering merino.
Fingering Merino is my yarn base that takes color with the absolute most variegation, so it always lends itself to the most interesting colors. Since "Light in the Dark" was a combination of disparate colors, I wanted to see how the color would be with a higher degree of variegation. The answer? Fascinating. Also, very pretty and very diverse.
The color is a practical smorgasbord of hues from the inspiration photo and each skein is absolutely unique. Consider the skein I photographed a loose representation of the color and while I'd encourage you to get two skeins and alternate those skeins when you knit for the most diverse color in your project, if you aren't up for that, limit yourself to one skein, because if you get more than one skein, they won't match all that well. Consider yourself warned!

Sold outQuoth the Raven aran merino
Sold out
Visit product page →Note from Sundara...Back when I originally dyed this Quoth the Raven color in fingering, I thought it might be a lovely sweater color and wanted to try it out in aran merino. But then I thought I should save it for Halloween, since anything Poe-related makes me think of All Hallow's Eve. But, most importantly, this color won't scream HALLOWEEN if you do knit yourself soma sweater, so you can wear it whenever you want. That's my favorite way to do holiday-inspired yarn.
The color is still black, darker than what is shown in the yarn photo. I had to lighten the photo so you could see the color detail. And the black has both purple and blue undertones. It shifts around like the light on those feathers. It's just lovely.
"Quoth the Raven" is available to order until 10am, pacific, November 1, Thursday. Yarn will ship next week.

Visit product page →Note from Sundara...I'm so happy with this color because it is clearly two distinct colors, teal and navy, but they are so close together in depth and richness, that you could easily knit anything with some sort of stitch pattern and the colors would just blend together seamlessly to create that complex beauty we all love about hand-dyed yarn. And it's got that lovely sheen of silk to shimmer and glow that we all love. Divine!
