As if Lost Treasures couldn’t get any more beautiful, here comes a batch on Dreamy Sock Base!!
The greys, the soft greens, speckles of gold and blue, all on the oh so soft Baby Alpaca blend of a yarn base, I mean it’s just hand dyed yarn at its best!

Summer heat calls for summer brights!
👽UFO Green🛸 is a big neon colour, that is equally fun on any yarn base! Shown here on Dreamy Sock Base, this is a great choice for statement pieces, as well as making colourwork yokes pop, this is one bright that will have you taking a second look!

The surprisingly delightful colour combo I didn’t know I needed until today! It’s always a joy seeing the colours being pulled for orders, and I’m amazed at the fabulous choices you all make, that I never saw coming!

The studio is back up and running, with a full rack of yarn drying from this mornings dye session! Thank you all so much for your patience, as I’m just returning from a really nice family holiday, which is exactly what I needed to recharge, reset and kick the summer off in just the right way!

Toasted Marshmallow 🤍 on Luxe Sock and Mohair Halo is a combination of everyone’s favourite neutrals! Creams, browns, and greys, I love everything about this colourway.

This batch is on its way out the door today, with the last of the packages at the same time.

A busy day in the studio usually ends up with a new addition to the Oddball Section of the shop! A batch of Midnight Blue that didn’t go according to plan, but turned into something wonderful nonetheless!

A mix up with my distributor can often feel like a combination of ‘uh oh’ and ‘surprise!’ 🙃

Happy to introduce, for a limited time while quantities last, ‘Surprise! Sport Base’

This 3 ply, Untreated Merino sport weight yarn, has some serious twist to it!

Hidden Pond Yarns turns 5 today ✨🧶✨

I can’t believe it was just five short years ago, I took a big leap and opened my own Etsy shop, selling my very first batches of hand dyed yarn.

✨Catching Fireflies✨ on Lustrous Lace Base is just as magical as I figured it would be! That extra silky shine makes the colours glow just right, and the speckles bring the best of what hand dyed yarn has to offer, as usual!

Loving this lineup of some of the most classic Forever Colourways, all dyed on Hidden DK, and expertly chosen by @pondsidecrochet
Frost, Antique Pink, Marilyn, Ladylike and Olive make for one romantic and dreamy colour palette! I can’t wait to see the magic Sandy created with this beautiful set!

💙 Royal 💙 shown here on Luxe Sock Base is such a rich, saturated colourway. It goes through three different layers in the dyeing process!

Every fibre enthusiast knows when it’s time to downsize their ever growing collection, when faced with the question of ‘exactly how many hours of crafting time do I actually have in a day?’

That ‘fresh off the knitting needles feeling’ is hitting just right today!
Finally finished that handspun baby blanket I’ve been working on, and it turned out even more gorgeous than I could have imagined, I’m so happy with it. The best is when the back is just as pretty as the front!
May 26, 2025 at 4:09 PM
So delighted by this unexpectedly beautiful colour line up! Antique Pink, sandwiching Olive and Frost, making a lovely, soft colour combo! All dyed up onto Dreamy DK Base, this palette is so inspiring!

Dyeing up One of a Kind yarn fades is some of my very favourite ways to dye yarn!
This set, dyed onto Classic Worsted Base, took its colour inspiration from some hand spun yarn I had listed, and I just know the recipient will have tons of options for patterns with a set like this.

Turquoise & Caicos shown here on Lustrous Lace Base, is a happy and vibrant colourway that will always be a shop favourite around here! And of course, dyed onto this extra fine merino/ silk base, is extra glowy, shiny, and really showing it at its best!

May 20, 2025 at 1:34 PM
And one last push to top off the mini skein inventory around here! The Fade Section of the shop is bursting with amazing colour palettes, there is definitely something for everyone right now!
May 15, 2025 at 6:23 PM
A few absolutely incredible mini fades have landed in the shop! And all I can do is fantasize about casting on a #ExtraLiteBright sweater with them, can you imagine?!
You can find these, and so many more, in the Yarn Fade Section of the shop!

Mission accomplished with this incredible spin!
I love the finished yarn so much, I’m going to go ahead and spin the rest of this 100% Polwarth fibre up, to get a sweater quantity of hand spun yarn 🤩

The perfect balance between rich forest greens, punchy aqua blues and that incredible burnt golden brown that only Jenn can ever achieve 🏆😘

Quick fit check for my first #BasicVNeckPullover sweater!
Knit with ‘Streets of Arklow’ dyed on my Luxe Sock Base, the body is about 1-2 inches shorter than what I usually wear. Going to have to pull back allllll of the 2x2 hem to make it right 😭 but it will be worth it in the end!

Happy Camper has quickly become my new favourite green! It’s that classic, earthy hue but with some subtle oomph to it. Shown here on Dreamy Sock, I find it has such a wonderful golden aura to it, especially when dyed onto untreated yarn bases 🧶

🦚 Wild Peacock 🦚 on Dreamy Sock base turned out just as magnificently as I imagined! Deeps teals, blues, a mauves are any jewel tone lovers dream. And as usual, the dyes come out so beautifully muddled and smudgey on this untreated yarn base.

Witch Boots is a shop classic and a fan favourite around here, all year round! This deep, mysterious purple, shown here on Squishy Sock Base, never fails to come through for any of your projects! 🧶
