Limited Edition Colourways: Night Skies

I love approaching knitting and crocheting with a sense of adventure — sometimes I follow the pattern, sometimes I don’t… (and I firmly believe that if you make the same mistake three times, it becomes a pattern, not a goof). So I approach combining different yarns in one project with the same sense of adventure. And that’s helped me to discover that Maia, our 80% bamboo fingering yarn, plays really well with our more merino-based yarns, even though the texture is incredibly different.

But I realise that not all of our Mini-Skein Club member might feel that same freedom so, when we moved onto Maia in our August bundle, we did something a little different from previous years — we specifically designed the colours so that this bundle can be skipped in the continuum of the Never Ending Gradient. In other words, July flows into August (Maia) and August flows into September… BUT July can also flow directly into September — allowing you to stick with our merino-based yarn for your larger project and use August’s Maia in a smaller side project. Total flexibility for you! Cool, huh?

Full Skeins and Sweater Kits of SpaceCadet® ‘s July and August Mini-Skein Colourways!

Let’s start with the Sweater Kit from July’s Ombre & Gradient bundle. I am definitely a blues and purples kind of girl, and just love this colourway so much, I decided to do something a little different and offer this Sweater Kit to everyone. You can see why, right?

Celestial Blues explores the colours of the night sky, and takes us on a journey from the light at the edge of sunset through to the twilight depths as the stars come out to play.

Watch as the colours change in your hands, flowing from soft sky blues through to deeper dusk teals and turquoises and finally into the rich purples that form just before the sky goes inky black. And then — because this is a SpaceCadet Start Anywhere Kit — the colours of the last skein flow back again into the first!

Available until September 12 only

But what if cool colours aren’t your style? If you’re in the July or August Mini-Skein Club, I’ve got something hot for you…

Fire-hot reds and pinks that flow and blend into one another are ready to spark — and Ignite your needles!

Or there’s this lovely warm skein…

Sky Fire is the colours of the hottest sunset, when the sky explodes into vibrant peaches, oranges, and pinks. When knit or crocheted, the colours will gently morph from one to another to form a overall mosaic effect.

Available until September 12 only

Ready to see August’s Ombre & Gradient colourway? It’s stunning…

Celestial Shine captures the shades of night, and moves them from the reality of darkness into stunning hues of fantasy.

Watch as the colours change in your hands, flowing from blues and inky grays into magentas and soft purples. And then — because this is a SpaceCadet Start Anywhere Kit — the colours of the last skein flow back again into the first!

Wait! Why does it say “Imagine this a Sweater Kit”?!? Well, we were so in love with it that we goofed — and caked up our only photography sample to cast on straight away. So we’ve photographed the Mini-Skein bundle instead. But don’t worry — your Sweater Kit will be beautiful full-sized skeins!

Blue-purples fading into pink-purples and back again, Night Gleam is dyed onto Maia so the 80% bamboo can catch the light for a stunning sheen..

Available until September 12 only

The blues and purples of the deepening night sky is the perfect place for the stars to Twinkle.
