Visit product page →Note from Sundara...I had the urge to dye a red yarn, but wanted to do a different sort of red, and I think most of the reds of the last year or so have been the red wine/red rose variety, so, since it is spring, I found all sorts of lovely inspiration in the delicious strawberry.
This is a definitely strawberry red, it's brighter without being garish, but not wine or deep, instead warmer red, maybe flame without being anywhere near orange, if that makes any sense.
Now that the color is dry, there are lighter bits that I'm not as happy with, so I'm actually going to give these all another dunk in the pots to get the lighter bits darker, so you'll have a full strawberry red color thought the skein. But that'll mean the yarn won't ship till later next week, just so you know.
Just three batches available.

Sold outMarble Caves super sock
Sold out
Visit product page →Note from Sundara...I saw this photo and thought how fun all those colors that would be to dye and then thought I should try it on sock yarn and I am so, so glad I did because this I think this color would make super-fantastic socks. I almost want to write supercalafragalistic, etc. etc. socks from Mary Poppins because sometimes a color just is perfect for the yarn and this is one of those times.
It's just begs to be knit into cozy socks. It's a range of turquoise, teals, grey, some white highlights and, not shown well in this photo, but some of skeins lean into blue. It's spectacular. If you want to get fancy, you could probably choose a pattern that will make your socks get all wavy like the caves, giving you loopy striations, which would be super fun.
Just two batches available.

Visit product page →Note from Sundara...Lilacs are blooming everywhere and I thought it high time I dye a nice bright, bold, beautiful purple. This isn't super bright, actually, nor is it super bold, rather it is simply purple. Every shade you could imagine, from lilac to lavender, indigo, violet, grape, orchid, iris, and of course, purple. It's a purple lovers dream, with lots of variegation. Usually a single color yarn can end up being somewhat solid, but this is as multi-dimensional as a single hued yarn could be. It will be fabulously fun to knit up.

Sold outMermaid Tails super sock
Sold out
Visit product page →Note from Sundara...my daughter and her cousins went through big mermaid phase a few years ago and we had to buy them all mermaid tails on amazon that they'd hop around in and then fall over, because they were ridiculously impractical. My nephew, bless him, thought the tail would turn him into an actual mermaid, and sobbed for a good twenty minutes when he did not, in fact, turn into a real live mermaid. During that time, I spent hours looking for a mermaid inspiration photo and found nothing. Then last week, I come across this photo. Finally! Of course, they aren't into mermaids anymore. Sigh.
But that doesn't mean we adults can't be. I know there are a lot of you who still harbor mermaid fantasies and just because we are grown, doesn't mean we can't indulge ourselves. I thought sock yarn was appropriate, because, well, socks seems reasonable if you want to be an adult mermaid who has a job and responsibilities. You can put on your mermaid socks and go to work and know, even if it is a secret, that part of you is a mermaid, even if you the rest of you has to wear a business suit or something like that.
This color is gorgeous, but I feel like I've only scratched the surface of mermaid colors, so we might see this inspiration photo and some other iterations of mermaid colors in different yarns. Just to warn you. I may not be out of my mermaid phase.
Slightly under two batches available.

Visit product page →Note from Sundara...a few days ago, my mother informed me that parts of the northeast were forecast for snow. Now, in that we have had 70 degree weather and it is May, in my horrified mind, I immediately pictured something like this inspiration photo, although hopefully for everyone who lives in those areas, it was more like a dusting. But, I got to wondering what all those cherry trees and other flowers might look like covered in a blanket of snow, and well, here we are.
If you squint at this inspiration photo, and at the yarn, you'll see pink blossoms on the tree under all that snow, and you'll see a wash of pink on this yarn, underneath the blue-grey and creamy fresh fallen snow. It's divine. Almost heavenly. It should knit up light and airy and not at all cold and icy. I'd knit a shawl with some sort of lace. Something easy if your brain is tired, but something complex, maybe snowflake like, if you have the stamina.
Just three batches available. Some skeins have more of a wash of pink that this particular skein. It varies a bit.

Visit product page →Note from Sundara...I liked that this had sort of a rainbow of color feel washing through the darkness, so that was what I went for. So of course, the skein I picked out to photograph ends up having the bits of purple that I included that weren't necessarily represented in the photo, but not some of the other colors that were in the photo. Sigh.
So expect a wash of rainbow of colors coming through the darkness, with a wider range of hue than the yarn might lead you to expect. It's a beauty for the lovers of dark colors. And it's oh so soft with the cashmere. I'd knit a shawl, maybe something with a sort of pebbly stitch, if you know what I mean, to make the color meld together a bit. Or you know, if you aren't up for that, garter stitch, you can never go wrong with garter stitch and hand dyed yarn.
A little under two batches available.

Sold outEphemera extra fine aran merino
Sold out
Visit product page →Note from Sundara...I have to admit, I did not set out to dye a yarn inspired by this photo for today. I was working towards something else, but after I added the second color, I realized I had dyed yarn inspired this photo, a color I had been trying to achieve for years. (I feel like I say that a lot, sadly, it seems to be true).
I was so excited that I'd finally dyed the perfect combination of lightest pink with that shade of green that adorns flowers still in their bud, and then slowly fades as they bloom, than ephemeral spring green that always reminds me of new life and the promise of forthcoming beauty.
And since I'd finally achieved this most ephemeral of colors, I couldn't bring myself to add anymore color to the yarn, so we have lovely, light pink and light green yarn. It's a gossamer feel of a color. Like fairies, or clouds, or spun sugar. I'd wear it as a sweater, but I'm a fan of light colors. Those of you who are not, might stash it away for a baby hat, sweater, or blanket.

Visit product page →Note From Sundara...this color reminds me of a color I dyed, but I can't remember when, or what the color actually was, or what the name was. I only remember that a bunch of you wanted me to dye more and I didn't write down how I dyed it, but I promised to try to re-create it. So guess this only goes to show how terrible my memory is and is the worst sort of story.
But the color is lovely! It's all very dark as night with whispers of trees and forests and fate-filled starry skies. I particularly like it in the aran weight. It'd be a fabulous sweater - all black with flashes of color here and there. It makes me think of something you'd see in an Anthropologie catalogue. Although whenever I mention that I like one yarn over another, I feel like a mother playing favorites with her children, because really, they are all lovely and I love them all, just in different ways!
