The May Giveaway has come to a close and I am just overjoyed at the response — so many people subscribing, tweeting, friending, and commenting about my yarn and fiber. It’s such a help to me to hear everyone’s thoughts and feedback. Thank you all so much! I now have to tie up all the extra entries with the subscriptions and I am presently fighting off a very nasty cold and fever, so it will take me a few days. You can expect the winners to be announced near the end of the week.
In the meantime, let me share with you what I pulled out of the dyepot yesterday. The colours are so rich and delicious that I just want to fall into it headfirst. I simply could not get the camera to really capture the tones of this yarn but, here, have a look…
Fingering Weight Yarn in Superwash Merino, in Vineyard Stain
When the grapes have been harvested and gathered into great piles at the end of each row, and the piles have been collected and taken to the winery, what is left in their place is a ruby-red mark where the sheer weight of the bounty crushed the succulent grapes and the dark juice escaped and ran down, leaving that beautiful, telltale stain — deep as burgundy in some places, soft as a rose in others — against the yellow-brown of the dry, sun-baked earth.
Each skein is over 100g of Superwash Merino in a wonderfully soft 3-ply, fingering weight yarn. Two skeins available, sold separately.
