Shop Update - Hand Dyed Yarns

 

I now have my hand dyed yarns available in my etsy store at Handmadestudio11 .

These yarns are all Australian Fine Merino 4ply Sock yarns  - 80% Merino 20% Nylon. I have created this colourway Hocus Pocus ideal for your Halloween knitting and crocheting.

In my listings I have included photos of the yarn both knitted and crocheted so you can get an idea of how it works up.

This next one brought back many happy memories of trips to Tasmania and the Bay of Fires region so that is what I called it - Bay of Fires.

I also have this soft blues and greens called Somewhere Beyond The Sea

This bright and happy mix of colours I have called Bollywood

The last one out of the dye pots is Intergalactic

I have decided from the onset to run a loyalty program for returning customers. All of these yarns I have priced at $28.00 per 100gms. So returning customers will receive there 10th 100gm purchase of yarn FREE.


I hope you enjoy these hand dyed yarns and find plenty of time for your own crafty endeavours.


Happy Crafting

Lots of Finishing

I have a few projects that have been finished for awhile that I would like to share.

The Warm Autumn Cardigan which is a free DROP design pattern was a very quick knit. I used Cascade Yarn Eco+ in the colourway 5564. The yarn is very soft and100% Peruvian Highland wool, so does pill quite a bit.

Next up I finished my Selbu Modern Hat a pattern by Kate Gagnon Osborn. The yarns I used were some old Patons Bluebell 5ply I had in a soft grey and a rich purple. I enjoyed working on this and love how the pattern has worked up in these colours with the deep contrasts.

The crown detailing is lovely.

Another garment off the needles is my Miette Cardigan. A free pattern by Andi Satterlund. I love her designs and would like to make this one again and have several more in mind. I used some yarn I had on a cone, I think it was a wool/acrylic blend and had been in my stash for a very long time.

Some fingerless mitts in 4ply and two colour colourwork, what was I thinking, yes these did take a while to finish. The Love Squared Gauntlets is a pattern by Andi Smith.

Well I thinks that's all from me for now.

Happy Crafting.
