It's the October Knits Newsletter!!

This week I dyed 4lbs of BFL roving in my favorite colourways in preparation for Stash-it! coming up in just 10 days! (as of writing) I am so excited. This one is "Swamp Witch" and if I get my act together all this BFL will be photographed and live on the website by Friday.

I made the CUTEST little sweater for my friend's baby shower on Sunday. Pattern is "Good old Raglan" by Karen Ohanlan Cohrt. Knitted it up in DK Superwash Merino with Donegal Nepps dyed by Genna Yarns. The puppy is named Peanut Hamper and shes's going to be a big sister soon!

I also attended Festival Twist on Friday and it was such a blast!! So much inspiration and community connection there, my heart is completely bursting. Shoutout to my friend Shannon who came along with me for the ride even though she's not a knitter. I'm really hoping to be a vendor next year and got to chat with a few first-timers about what that's like.

In my continuing mission to be an eco-friendly dyer, use less water and make beautiful things out of waste materials, I've kicked off dyeing waste wool for my "Dumpster Diver Batts". I ordered 5lbs of beautiful clean carded mill waste from an ontario mill and have been using all of my leftover dye baths and bits of leftover dye stock on it. It's also been HOT and DRY out here, which made all this wool dry super fast out on my back deck. I should have a handful of these batts banged out by the end of the week. Stay tuned!

Stash it is SO SOON! My website will be down for the weekend while I am vending in person so if you see something, now is the time to snag it for yourself!

“Millions of Peaches" Superwash BFL Sport Weight Sock Twins

$44.00

Knit two matching socks at a time. Each set is two 50g balls of sock yarn that contain the same long colour changing gradient. Conveniently packaged into center pull balls, so you can easily pick which direction you want your rainbow to go.

Sport weight socks knit up in half the time as fingering weight socks, and they are cozier and warmer for winter. This superwash BFL Sport weight base has no nylon but the beauty of bluefaced leicester wool is that it is naturally durable and pill resistant due to its longer staple length and tensile strength without compromising the softness we expect from a luxury fibre. For maximum comfort and durability I recommend knitting these sport weight socks on a tight gauge on 2.5mm - 2.75mm needles. These sport weight sock twin sets could also be used make a wonderful squishy pair of matching mitts!!
