Note from Sundara...This yarn base can be super fun to dye, but I've found that the Daily Dream inspiration can make me feel limited. Because if I just I throw dye in pots with this yarn, I can get really fun and unsual colors, but I have no idea how they will turn out. Which doesn't work when one is trying to aim for a specific "inspiration" color. So I decided to cut -loose, go a little bonkers, and threw dye and yarn in my pots without any direction to see what would happen. It was fun and, honestly, I totally love the yarn.
#1 (far left) started off orange and then I put purple on it. It's maybe my favorite of the bunch. It's so unusual. Kind of like a leopard on acid.
#2 (second from left) is pink and green, which has been my favorite color combination since I was 2 years old. So you pretty much can't go wrong there.
#3 (middle) as supposed to be indigo on bright teal, but I got carried away and now it's a dark navy-teal. If you aren't up for crazy colored yarn or you need a sort-of-solid to balance out a multicolored project, this is perfect.
#4 (second from right) is teal over pale peachy-pink. It's lovely. Less leopard on acid for those of you who want something multi-colored but less crazy.
#5 (far right) is the same pale peachy-pink base as #4, but with blue over it, so if you have a project that needs two coordinating colors, #4 and #5 work perfectly. It's a fabulous summery, Mediterranean blue.
"Curiosities" will not be dyed again. Updated: 3 skeins or less left of each color. #1 is sold out.

Visit product page →Note from Sundara...The fingering merino singles (#2) is the color I find the most interesting. It's a combo of dark cherry reds and a deep, muted fuchsia - pretty much the color of the sky in the photo above the orange. It's not a color combination you see often, but it works well in this color. It should knit up oh so pretty; the two colors blending together to make something so much more than each as an individual. I hope some of you will try it out.

Visit product page →Note from Sundara...A few months ago, I said I wanted to do a "looser" interpretation of inspiration photos, and today is one of those days. I've loved this photo for years, but could never figure out how to dye it up as yarn. I've been looking for something that feels autumn-y, because apparently I'm over summer and summer colors, and this seemed to work. I may have gone a little overboard with veering into autumn.
The two fingering merino skeins were dyed exactly like the two skeins of lace silky alpaca, so if you've ever wanted to knit something coordinating with these yarns, now is your chance. The two darker colors are like a delicious black cherry. Or stormy clouds at sunset over flamingos, as the case may be. The browns are underlaid with flamingo pink, so they have all sorts of rich, saturated color going on that makes them much more fun and "glowy" than your average brown. The darker black-red goes amazing with the brown, if you want to pair them up, but the individual colors look smashing together on their own.
"The Midnight Flamingos" will not be dyed again. Updated: 3 skeins of the browns left.

Visit product page →Note from Sundara...Summer is officially over and I thought I'd embrace that with a pale neutral, which I haven't dyed in forever. I saw this and, well, wouldn't this look fabulous wrapped around your neck as a little something-something or maybe thrown on as a comfy cardigan for chillier days? Don't we all need some neutrals in our lives?
If you are up for it, "Mossblossom" is an amazing new lace wrap by Wool & Pine that would be gorgeous in a neutral (2 skeins). If you aren't up for lace (and I don't blame you), " Mara" bu Audrey Borrego will also wind around your neck and is super chic. (1 skein). As for cardigans, I'm in love with "Noctua cardigan" by Orlane Sucche because it just looks so...knitterly.
"Where to Find a Hidden Pearl" will not be dyed again. Updated: 1 skein left.

Visit product page →Note from Sundara...This was actually inspired by a Hibiscus my daughter got me for mother's day. This photo is the closest I could get in color. It's a gorgeous flower and I chose it because it is one of those colors that is often overlooked, but actually looks beautiful on a huge range of people, as it flatters a range of skintones. So hopefully that will entice you and now I just have to convince you why sport is a fabulous gauge.
Seriously. You all ask for sport and then no one buys it. Which is crazy, because it is so versatile and there are so many projects. You can knit pretty much any fingering weight accessory out there on bigger needles using sport gauge and it will just be slightly bigger and cozier. AND! There are hundreds of amazing patterns out there for this weight yarn. I love the "River's Song" vest by Emma Ducher. Or the "Elisabeth Blouse" by PetiteKnits. Or "Poppy Tee" also by PetiteKnits. OR!! " Fjolla" by Isabell Kraemer. Also, "Mabel" by Isabell Kraemer. The "Lithium Shawl" by Annelie Thomasson is amazing, if you aren't up for a sweater. And the "Pacific Crest Trail" hat by Kay Hopkins, if you want a smaller project. So really, there is no excuse not to embrace sport as a gauge!!
