I’m back from the Frolic yippee! The show was a huge success! It was great to see familiar faces from last year and lots and lots of new Indigo Moon yarnies
Unfortunately ….I forgot my camera in my room and have no pics to share:( which is extra sad since the booth looked awesome! Chanterelle lady’s Aeolian shawl in the Autumn Gold muga silk was a hit - I sold almost all the muga I had shipped! When I got home I received the bad news that this muga silk is no longer available :( . I will be looking for a new lace wt tussah silk which - although not handspun - will also be 1000-1500 yards per skein and it should dye up similarly. I am heartbroken about it as I also use the silk in my weaving but oh well….got to roll with the punches I guess.
So it’s been quite a roller coaster over the past week. I could write a lot more but….need to get back to dyeing as the new Pur Silk was a huge success!
Here are some of the colourways available:
Passion Pink
Paradise Blue
Really Red
Midnight Song
Teal Green
So off to the dyepots!
Cheers
The new name is Pur silk and it’s exquisite!
Each skein is 100gm of pure spun mulberry silk that I hand dyed in some fun (for me) colourways.
Click on http://www.indigomoonyarns.com/index.php?cPath=36_21 and look for the silk labelled *NEW*. Stock is limited so pop in soon.
Cheers
I was going to post the new silk name today and some pics …but you’ll have to wait till tomorrow as I just watched (part of) this video. Click here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqxENMKaeCU to blow your mind (in a nice way of course
After 2 years of searching I finally found me new yarn base. It is a 2 ply spun mulberry silk at 650 yds per 100gm skein…. so what should we call it? Simply Silk or Pur Silk? This new yarn base is similar to what you found in the Gemstone Silk series…though I think the quality is a touch nicer and … fewer/no knots! Not only is it virtually knot-free but also the skeins are all 100gm weights …which makes me happy. The various skein sizes were driving me a bit bonkers.
The price will remain the same though the cost-to-me is quite a bit more for this silk.
So any thoughts on a name? If so email me through my website (so I get fewer spammers) at www.indigomoonyarns.com - hit the contact button and let me know what you think. I’ll post pics shortly.
cheers
The site has been updated for the muga silk, mulberry silk and Silken Pleasures …still have to make my way throught the Tonals, HPs, etc. Sure would be nice to have an automatic inventory!
I wanted to update you regarding the “silk situation”. Both the Muga Silk and the Mulberry Silk are very limited as there is a problem with the suppliers. I will be dyeing up a bit more Muga in the natural dyes since the yarn is already mordanted but after that…who knows. I’ve been dreading this time - hoping to find a replacement before I run out - but seems that might not be so.
Phew! I made it before the courier did (although he’s late due to vehicle problems which concerns me…a bit). I’ve been working virtually non-stop for days to get ready for shipping to Abbotsford. Usually I attend myself - and drive - so if I run out of time I just put everything in the van and sort it at the show. This time I won’t be there myself so everything was being shipped via courier. Here’s some of the boxes waiting for pick up:
And some of the silk before being packed. It is exquisite!!! Not as much as I’d hoped in the mulberry silk …but it’s all reskeined and any skeins with more than 3 knots were held back so you can be assured great and troublefree skeins!
The show is at the AgRec Centre in Abbotsford March 26-27 check here for details www.fibreswest.com
Indigo Moon Yarns will be at booth 601. Lots of great yarns - new colourways - new yarns - the ever-popular superwash merino - the oooh so sumptuous Silken Pleasures and…..Indigo Moon Yarn’s newest addition….I won’t tell you here…you’ll have to visit the show to find out or check the blog later this week…I’ll post on Thursday in case you want to rush on over to pick some up…it’s my most favorite yarn …and now it’s finally available for all of you!
