The Buttercup photos are found on the previous blog post.  As mentioned yesterday, the Buttercup is much darker than the Sunshine.

Happy shopping!

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

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

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! 

Some new silk babies - various colourways and sizes - I’ll be putting up on the site later today…aren’t they cute?

I have to label each one individually with yardage and type of yarn - all are silk - all are natural dyes - mostly Muga - all are “one ofs”.

Yesterday I took the “day off” to paint a kitchen that was in dire need of paint for a number of years…not so much a “day off” but an exhausting ordeal…..the kitchen looks great though it’s only about half done.  Looking at paint chips for the past while has provided me with a ton of name suggestions which…frankly….don’t make a lot of sense, or fit any type of categorization…but I think it’ll work.  The Silken Pleasure yarns I dyed last week are all exquisite and if left to my own devices I would call them things like”exquisite”, “fabulous”, “mind blowing” :)  So to come back down to Earth a bit - after floating around in ecstasy when taking the yarns out of the dyebaths…I think these new names make more sense.  However…saying that….I can always change my mind if I like :)  one of the perks of being the dyer and business owner

So here goes….

To pay homage to all the buds that are popping on the trees out here on the balmy Pacific West Coast….”Spring Buds Green” in  Silken Pleasure - an exquisite  50/50 blend of merino wool and mulberry silk in a worsted wt yarn.   Outstanding to knit and wear as a scarf, sweater, mitts…pretty much anything you’d like.  I have limited quantities of each colourway and when they are gone will be taking orders. 

Happy shopping!

The Sun is out and Spring is in the air.
