Samples!! On the left is the Rose Ruffle Top in Butterfly Bush (Cotton Merino DK) and on the right is the Flutter Buttshirt in Fern in Cotton Merino Fingering. These really help show how structure + stitch definition versus flowy drape knit up!

Aaaaaaand finally paying the photo tax! I’ve been working on my #MeltingMarlShawl using yarn from @zeezeetextiles.bsky.social Ephemeral collection! 🧶 #knitting #knitsky

Right now I have Quiet -> False Spring -> Atmosphere 😍 and I’m working on adding in Florescence now!
A shawl-in-progress lays on a white quilt. The shawl is a fade, starting with a variegated beige into variegated grey & green into a variegated green. The green ball of yarn is attached and positioned below the shawl.

Our next tonal is "Lecanora", a lichen-inspired olive.

#indiedyer #handdyedyarn #smallbatchproduction #artisanyarn #knittersoftheworld #crochetersoftheworld #indiedyersofig
LECANORA - what's this.. a WARM green?! After many variegated colorways paying homage to golden summer lighting on a late afternoon lawn, or mossy lichens adorning tree bark, this colorway was inevitable! Named for a common tree lichen, Lecanora is a gilded olive tonal with warm brown undertones. It's infinitely complex and a little different on every base! Silk tends to pick up a few cooler tones, whereas non-superwash amplifies golden tan shades and a touch of pink; then it's noth8ing but moody and deep on the yak blends! I love when tonals do this - it really gives you an idea of what went into the recipe and gives each fiber such a unique appearance. (The suri, good grief, is incredible.) .

Meet "Brisk" - fall in a skein!

#indiedyer #handdyedyarn #smallbatchproduction #artisanyarn #knittersoftheworld #crochetersoftheworld #indiedyersofig
BRISK - is there anything more nostalgic than that first feeling of fall? I feel like as humans there's something so intrinsically desirable about autumn - we collectively yearn for it towards the end of summer (or all year, really) and ache for those fleeting first glimpses. Was that a crunchy leaf I just stepped on? Did that breeze have a hint of chill to it?! I wanted to capture that feeling with Brisk, of the first fallen leaves on pavement, greens becoming less dominant in foliage while the world transforms. Brisk features variegated pours of tawny brown and tan, pops of gold and orange, lichen olive, and a touch of concrete gray. It's fall in a skein. .
