silk by any other name….

Friday, April 23rd, 2010

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

Well….thought I was dyeing more of the “Rival Green”  but it turned out far more blue than last time.  OK I have to admit that I don’t use a scale - I dye like I cook - mostly by eye and feel so….I’ve decided to call this colourway “family” Blue Spruce.  Sometimes it will be lighter, sometimes darker, sometimes more green, sometimes more blue, but regardless…it still looks like a variation on a blue spruce tree to me. 

I just shipped off a lot of”Rival Green” to Urban Yarns …so if you are looking for Blue Spruce, it’s the same colourway just a different name…and I promise not to change the name ….at least for while anyway  :)

cheers
