Limited Edition Colourways: Summer at the Beach

You would think summer would be a slow time for a yarn business but ours has been incredibly busy, and I realised the other day that I’ve fallen behind on posting our Limited Edition full-skein sizes of our Mini-Skein colourways so this morning — as is appropriate for a hot summer day — you get a bumper crop to choose from! But like all our Limited Editions, you have to be quick — these gorgeous colourways are custom dyed and available until August 5 only.

These are the colourways from May and June’s Mini-Skein Club parcels (if you’re in the club and wondering where the gorgeous colours from July are, they’ll be coming soon, once all the parcels have had a chance to be delivered). As the weather warmed up, we found ourselves in a mood for seaside and nautical colours, and you’ll see that reflected in the colourways we’ve chosen here. So, c’mon, jump on in — the water’s fine!

Full Skeins and Sweater Kits of SpaceCadet® ‘s May and June Mini-Skein Colourways!

Let’s start with the Sweater Kit from May’s Ombre & Gradient bundle. I am so in love with this colour combination!

Shoreline explores all the wonderful colours of that special part of the world where the land meets the sea, and takes us on a journey through seagrass and salt air, right down to the water’s edge.

Watch as the colours change in your hands, flowing from soft seaweed greens through to bright grass green and then morphs into the blue of turquoise waters. And then — because this is a SpaceCadet Start Anywhere Kit — the colours of the last skein flow back again into the first!

(Where’s the order button? This kit is exclusive to May and June Mini-Skein Club members. If that’s you, look for an email arriving shortly with your members-only link!)

And if you’re in love with that Sweater Kit but you aren’t part of the club, fear not — we’ve pulled one colour out and made it available to you. And it’s gorgeous!

Sea Grass is soft, muted yellow-greens combined with stunning ocean turquoise, offset perfectly by touches of earthy browns.

Available until August 5 only

Ready to see June’s Ombre & Gradient colourway? It’s just as cool and summery as May’s…

The sea’s waves roll gently toward the shore, lifting and rocking the boats along its way, like a soft summer lullaby as the lazy days slip away in endless blues and greens and summer sun.

Sail Away explores all the colours of a summer’s day spent on the water, moving from deep sea greens into stunning bright blues, and then fading out into pale turquoises that disappear into touches of crisp nautical white. And then — because this is a SpaceCadet Start Anywhere Kit — the colours of the last skein flow back again into the first!

Trade Winds is everything that’s warm and cool at the same time — an overall warm purple that’s rich and intense, shot through with stunning hints of coppery-browns.

Available until August 5 only

Sand Pebble explores the colours of the shoreline — from gray rocks to tawny sand, with streaks of rich copper, pine greens, and deep purples. When knit or crocheted, the colours will flow and blend together to create a stunning, almost-pointillist effect.

And from the Sail Away Sweater Kit, we pulled our favourite colourway for a full-skein option. Wouldn’t it make a stunning summer cardi?

Tidal Pool‘s blues and greens start out intense and fade away, to capture all the variety and interest found in each of these fascinating micro-worlds.

Available until August 5 only

Clean, clear blue-turquoise that fades away into crisp white, and brings all the joy of wandering barefoot down the beach, stopping to collect little treasures of water-worn Beach Glass along the way.
