Winter Palette Available dyed to order thru February 28.

The deep blue contrasting the white flecks that look like snowflakes? Ugh, perfection in yarn. πŸ‘Œ

The Winter Palette is only available for just about another week! Then they'll head to the vault to make room for a Spring Palette!

White Tweed, are you ready for your closeup? πŸ“Έ

White Tweed deserves some more love, so I thought I'd share this shot of Comfy Pants today. I think all of the colors look great on White Tweed (can you imagine a Douglas Cardi with them??), but Comfy Pants is especially nice.

A graphic information page. The background is 6 open skeins of hand dyed yarn are laid across a white backdrop. At the top of the graphic, superimposed on top of the yarn is a white rectangle that says "For your information: SEASONAL PALETTES." 

In the middle of the graphic is a large rectangle full of text. The text reads:
"Seasonal Palettes is a new type of endeavor for me, so I want to take some time to explain some of my thoughts behind why these quarterly palettes will work the way they do.

Why is each palette dyed to order for about a month and a half?
I want you to have time to make decisions!

"Why a quarterly palette?
Short answer: TIME.

Long answer: I want to commit to having something new on somewhat of a schedule this year. I have learned, however, that monthly clubs are overwhelming for me. 

Plus, I’m vending at more fiber fests this year than I ever have, so I don’t really have the capacity to commit to something monthly. Because of this, quarterly seemed like the perfect timing for me right now.

And honestly? This is something I’ve dreamed about doing for a few years now. So why not 2026?"

"Will all the palettes be similar to Winter?
Short answer: No.

Winter ended up being 5 tonals and 1 variegated. They won’t all be this way. I can’t even say that they’ll all have 6 colors! Some may have more or less. It all just depends on how I’m feeling that season.

I’m using these palettes as a creative outlet to express the season on yarn. Sometimes I might bring back older colorways (like the tonals for Winter) and sometimes there will be brand new colors (like the variegated for Winter)! I’m purposefully leaving myself room for artistic freedom."

Y'all, I love yarn and knitting and crocheting. But I won't EVER "just stick to knitting." Yes, I often focus my content on hope & joy & colorful yarn... but that's because we all see enough depressing crap on a daily basis. I try not to add to the weight of the world.

I am a "radical left lunatic" as some people would say. I don't hide that. In fact, below is a screenshot from the "About Me" page on my website.

I shared this all (slightly modified) on my IG Stories the other day. But it definitely needed to be shared here as well.

It feels weird and wrong to be promoting my business right now. Unfortunately, we all exist under capitalism and must keep working to live.

But since I haven't said anything explicitly on this platform, I just want to make it clear that I am horrified by what the current administration is doing.

Honestly, it took me awhile to decide which tonal to use as the mini in the sock sets. I think they'd all look lovely! But after swatching the yarn, I really liked the idea of the mini for the sock set pulling out the darkest color in Winter Wishes. I hope you do, too!

When contemplating what colors should be a part of the Winter Palette, I thought to myself, "why not give these older colors a chance to shine?" Plus, with the addition of the undyed skein (far left), they really are the perfect winter palette.

Our first seasonal base is White Tweed (pic 2)!

Winter Wishes is a lovely combination of cream, tan, grey, and blue.

If you've been here for awhile, and have an excellent memory, you might recognize the tonals. Aside from the one on the far left, these are all tonals from my very first advent in 2021 - Cozy Creatures!
