Indigo Moon

For those of you that attended the Knit Out in Victoria…sorry but I couldn’t make it.   Good news is that I will be running the Knit Out Special online.  Buy 5 skeins of the Tonals and West Coast Musings and get the 6th one free!  That means it’s a great time to start getting your Fall projects together…on the first day of summer!  The special will run for the rest of the week (til 25th).  Great time to get enough yarn for that special winter sweater or lots of 1 skein projects for Xmas gifts (I’m so cruel to mention this on the first day of summer!)

Happy Shopping!

Spring is here!  The bees are buzzing, the birds are chirpping and the flowers are blooming and….the new yarn is here!

This merino wool is a comfy soft wool that is perfect for sweaters, blankets, scarves, shawls, hats pretty much anything …except socks

It is a DK wt yarn  20sts/4″     4mm needles suggested.   210yds/100gm skein.
As with all my yarns, they are hand-dyed by me in small batches with environmentally friendly dyes.

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!

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!

If you have visited my studio or booth at a show, you will have noticed yarns not available online.  This month I am introducing traditional wool yarns dyed with natural dyes…actually reintroducing would be more accurate.  I have been hand dyeing a worsted wt Canadian merino wool yarn for years and have now decided to make it available online.  There will be other Canadian wools available - sometimes Dorset, sometimes Romney, but mostly Merino - none are superwash so you get the traditional feel of a knitting yarn.  It is lofty, full of lanolin, and quick to knit up with 4-5mm needles.  Great for hats, and scarves and sweaters too!  So now you have a choice! 

And prices start as low as $12….yes I thought you might like that J
