Eight twisted skeins of variegated hand dyed yarn sit side by side diagonally; a neon pastel rainbow runs through the colourways from top to bottom. My left hand is resting in the bottom left of the scene to remind everyone that I'm a real-life person running this small biz, some What Mustard Made yarn labels are in the top right, and some kraft paper ribbon and precut pieces of handdyed yarn are in the top left. Everything is sitting on pastel lilac tissue paper which I use to wrap up orders.

I updated the Zest For Life Bundle photos last week 😻 Top to bottom: Bliss, Euphoria, Joy, and Rapture. The colourways are all available separately as well as in this handy beautiful fade bundle 👌 🧶

Four twisted skeins of hand dyed yarn sit to the left of the photo, with half of them cut off. The yarn is dyed in a variegated manner, using neon purple, turquoise and neon yellow speckles in Bliss (top one), neon pink, turquoise and neon yellow speckles in Euphoria (next one down), neon pink, aqua blue and neon yellow speckles in Joy (next one down), then neon purple, aqua blue and neon yellow speckles in Rapture (the last one). They are sitting on a cream linen cloth, which I haven't ironed because life is far too short and my time is too precious to be spending it ironing. I also find the creases very handy for squaring up my photos! 😅🤷🏻

I was checking Voidbow's listing photos, and couldn't resist sharing a couple of them for all the neon goths out there 🖤🌈

A shot of a pair of crocheted fingerless gloves made in Voidbow dark neon rainbow yarn. The colours move through the gloves in a very pleasing way, which looks a little bit like spilt petrol. A crocheted swatch on the left is overlapped by a knitted swatch on the right.

I created this colourway - Joy - in 2019, and for reasons unknown (these reasons happen to me a lot 😆) I didn't have swatches on the listing. So I have now remedied this, and they are fabulous 🧶 I hope you like it! 🩷

A crochet swatch on the left is slightly overlapped by a knitted swatch on the right - the variegated wool fabrics are full of neon pink, orange, yellow, green, purple, and aqua blue.

This is ZING! 🌈 It’s one of my most favourite colourpooling colourways 🥹 I hope it brightens your Monday 🧶

#knitsky #neonyarn #handdyedyarn
The most beautiful hand knit sock posed on a sock blocker - the way the colourway is dyed creates microstripes of neon pink and blue, with slightly thicker stripes of neon yellow with tiny pieces of orange and green at either end of the yellow. The toe and heel are black. A crochet swatch sits on the left, slightly overlapped by a knitted swatch. Neon pink, blue, and yellow dance and pool in the fabric, with tiny pieces of orange and green at the ends of the yellow sections.

If you like hats, and you like rainbows, and you like fluffy halos, I just listed three of these yarn bundles on my website 🥳 Contains 6 x 5g Lace Mohair/Silk and 1 x undyed 100g DK Tweed Merino/Nylon/Nepps for £25 🧶

www.traceymustard.com/products/flu...

#knitting #knitsky #handdyedyarn
In the top left corner is a little pile of bright Mohair micro-skeins in neon pink, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. In the top right is a cake of undyed tweedy DK yarn, and in the middle is a glorious knitted hat WIP on circular needles. A rainbow moves through the hat in stripes as I'm doing four rounds of each Mohair colour, the undyed yarn creating a marled fabric. There are little flashes of black, brown and grey now and then where the nepps are saying hi.

I’ve been spinning some to knit a scrappy Ranunculus (or other tee), and I think the small amounts are perfect for me as I usually get bored 1/4-1/2 way through a 100g braid or batt and don’t finish the spin 🫠😭 These little 2ply sock-weight skeins really excite me though!! 😃 #handspunyarn 🧶
13 tiny skeins of handspun* yarn sitting looking pretty. There are many colours - neon pink, orange, and yellow semi-solids, and the rest are all variegated in various colours: purples, blues, greens, peaches, oranges. * autocorrect wanted that to say handsome. I don’t actually disagree, they are handsome! 🥰

My first release of Advents is now on the website! 🥳 I do things a little differently - I only make a small amount at a time, then post them out as soon as they’re ready. Then you just pop it away until Dec (or open it immediately and keep the colourways secret!).

A rainbow gradient background hosts the words ‘advent calendars, 25g x 10g or 20g minis, stitch markers, and stationery treats’ with the silhouette of stars and a bauble hanging in the right top corner 🧶

This is Neutron Star ⭐ It’s my favourite out of the big batch of new colourways I listed recently. There’s something about purples and browns that makes me so happy, and that blue is banging! 🥹

I don’t mind photographing swatches too much, but editing them all afterwards makes my brain want to shrivel up and die 😅🫠

These are the colourways from the Variegated Infinity Rainbow, available individually or in a bundle of all eight 🌈

#neonyarn #handdyedyarn 🧶 #knitting #crochet #indiedyer
Eight square knitted swatches sit in a circle overlapping one another. The yarn is variegated, with one colourway containing neon pink and coral, then the next containing neon coral and yellow, the next containing yellow and green, continuing like that through aqua blue, lavender, purple and magenta. There are a few crochet swatches peeking out at the top of the picture.

I hope you’re hungry for some new colourways 😃🥹😻

Coming to my website soon! 🧶 I can’t tell you how excited I am to get started on the swatches 🤓

#indiedyer #handdyedyarn #knitting #crochet #neonyarn
Twelve skeins of yarn sit lined up in two rows of six. Each skein is a different new colourway - there’s a mix of variegated dark ones, light ones, and ethereal tonals.

Gorgeous ones! 😃 I have eight sock blanks on my website, ready to ship 🧶 They’re the last of my stock*, I’m unlikely to order in any more Merino/Nylon blanks in future 🌈

A top-down of a hand dyed sock blank. It’s been hand-painted in a neon rainbow gradient moving through the blank from top to bottom, from (all neon dyes) Pink, into Orange, Yellow, Green, Aqua Blue, Lavender, and ending with Purple. A top-down of a hand dyed sock blank. This blank has been dyed rolled up, with a neon rainbow applied sideways on top of the roll in (all neon dyes) Pink on one side, into Orange, Yellow, Green, Aqua Blue, Lavender, and ending with Purple. There are lighter and darker saturation sections, and undyed parts, due to the way they were dyed rolled up. As the dye doesn't reach all the way into the middle, one end of the blanks will have more saturation than the other because of this. I think this will work up incredibly interestingly...! I'd love to keep one for myself so I can see how it'll work up in something, but these babies must earn their keep, so none for me!

These babes got dyed up today, I’m super chuffed that I actually did them! 🌈 Sock blanks are one of those things my ADHD inexplicably gets stuck with 😅 Hoping to get them photographed tomorrow so they’ll be on the website by the end of the week 🧶

We’re in Malta on a break! 🏝️ Here’s a mini zoom-in on Valetta from our side of the harbour, where we were drinking Cisk in a little promenade cafe bar in Sliema 🥰

On Friday I miraculously dyed 5kg of yarn for orders in one day*, as I realised I’d have to have it all dry pronto otherwise I’d end up running out of time to ship it before I’m on holiday later this week! 🫣 Now I get to spend the next two days packing all of the glorious beauties up 😃 🧶

Bloody hell, I forgot to share the new swatches with you last week! 🙀🤭 This is the Variegated Infinity Rainbow Bundle 🌈 Details of yarn in each swatch in the alt text 🧶

Individual colourway swatches are coming soon 👌

#indiedyer #knitting #crochet #neonyarn #handdyedyarn #bluefacedleicester
Top down pic of a knitted rainbow swatch on the left, slightly overlapping a crochet rainbow swatch on the right. These swatches show the whole Variegated Infinity Rainbow Bundle in DK used in colourway order, with no mixing required to obtain a lovely fade. This is because the colourways will move beautifully into one another with little effort, as each one contains a colour from the one before and the one after (e.g. if you start with Pink/Coral, the colourway before that contained Pink (Magenta/Pink), and the colourway after it contains the Coral (Coral/Yellow)). The rainbow in the swatches moves from the top down through neon magenta, pink, coral, yellow, green, aqua, lavender, purple, and back to magenta, then repeats. Both swatches have two repeats, showing how the bundle can go round and round and round, in any direction you like, and starting from any point in the bundle, which is what makes it 'infinite' 🌈 Top down pic of a knitted rainbow swatch on the left, slightly overlapping a crochet rainbow swatch on the right. These swatches show the whole Variegated Infinity Rainbow Bundle in 4ply held double to marl the colourways together because marling is always cool (i.e. Magenta/Pink held with Pink/Coral, then Pink/Coral held with Coral/Yellow). Even though the colourways will move beautifully into one another with little effort, the marling does produce some cool extra fading potential. You could even add in each colourway held double with itself between each combination to extend the fade, e.g 2 strands Magenta/Pink, then Magenta/Pink held with Pink/Coral, then 2 strands Pink/Coral, then Pink/Coral held with Coral/Yellow, etc. The rainbow in the swatches moves from the top down through neon magenta, pink, coral, yellow, green, aqua, lavender, purple, and back to magenta, then repeats.
