subtle stripes yarn kits!
March 23, 2009i briefly mentioned this in the last post, but i thought i’d elaborate because i’m kind of excited about these.
i’ve been selling subtly striping yarns for a while now.
that were made to mimic the yarn in this hat
because i loved it so much. for handspun yarn party, i put together a bunch of kits so that people can make their own subtly striping yarns.
they include a 2 oz braid of one colorway and 4 1/2 oz buns from other colorways and can be spun one of two ways.
[here there was how to stripe, but i suppose if i want you to buy my kits, i shouldn't give away all my secrets, eh? ;)]
unfortunately, after baiting you, i only have one in the shop. but, when i get some energy back and start dyeing again, i promise they’ll be the first thing i make.
p.s. i am dreadfully behind on correspondence of any kind (and google reader, for that matter)… but i wanted to thank you all again for your kind wishes on the pregnancy! besides being tired and food being odd, it’s been going well.
I love this idea, Cosy. I’d imagine the kits would be big sellers! I hope you’re feeling better soon.
Your yarns are gauwgeous!
Ahh.. so THAT is how its done! I realize I probably sound like a total dork for saying that but I really couldn’t wrap my brain around the concept. I love your yarns.. the colors are so different from other hand-dyed/spun out there and they go together so well.
Whawww….. it makes me dream!!!!!
What lovely colours. So happy and springlike – without being overly bright.
