More New Yarn Base

Fresh from my dye pots are these new yarn base of Falkland British Merino in DK and fingering weight :


Almond Sensation 


Chartreuse


The Bold and Beautiful

Top three photos are Dk weight, 246 yd/100 gm hank.  The following are fingering weight, 4 ply yarns with good yardage of 438 yd/100 gm hank.


Carrot Milkshake


Pink and Turquoise Dream Catcher


Rustica


Sea Of Love


The Dark Knight

This new yarn base is so soft and springy. The yarn is round with a high twist and produces a beautiful stitch definition. You will love to knit in this luxurious blend and the fabric is just so squishy, great for next to skin wear with a lovely slight sheen to it!

I have also restocked Bambaroo, 40% Bamboo 40% Wool 20% Nylon fingering weight, 4 ply yarns.


Lilac Yellow Silver


Orchid


Redwood


Classic Rose

More long colour repeat yarns

Just done these long colour repeats in Mauve Taupe.


Custom dyed for a customer who intend to knit either the La Cumparsita



or Sweet Jazz


I particularly like the pink and light brown combination. It is a rare and beautiful combination.  My next custom order will be in this colourway!:)
