A Surprise is Fun

A shipment is on the way from Meadowcroft Dyeworks. We will have more colours of Rockshelter Sock (the yarn I used for my Find Your Fade). I've added the new colours to the website so you can see what we'll have early next week. There are a few colours that I don't have colour samples of. I ordered these sight unseen - sometimes a surprise is fun.

There will be new colours including

188 Stage Whisper

182 Feathered Juju

125 Boiled Lobster

121 Rubbing Elbows

84 Inquisitive Cornflower

76 Wilderness

5 Decadence

180 Paint Peeling

The shipment is going to include 4 Find Your Fade kits. Dave puts together some interesting colour combinations. This kit is in Rockshelter Sock (like my sample). It will retail for $280.

We have 3 kits coming in a new yarn called Moon Lorn.

This Meadowcroft Dyeworks fingering weight yarn is spun as well as dyed in the United States from wool produced on US soil. A rustic single-ply yarn, it runs thick-n-thin for a gorgeous homespun-like texture with the squooshy softness you expect from 100% Merino. This yarn base is available in its own unique palette of colorways distinct from our other bases.  We recommend washing this yarn by hand, though machine washing in the delicates cycle also works.  We don’t recommend tumble drying for any natural fiber.  This yarn is ideally suited for shawls, wraps, scarves, sweaters & vests, but may not be the best choice for objects that will receive heavier wear, like socks.

100% superwash merino from the US
384m (420 yards) in a skein
The Moon Lorn kits will retail for $260.

Moon Lorn takes the dye differently than sock. I can't wait to see how it looks.

My planters at the store are very bright. I tried to talk Beth into going to Terra tonight for more planters but it is the season finale of Survivor. Maybe tomorrow night.
