Good Mail
One of the many lovely things about this job is all the good mail it generates. There are few things more fun to find in the mailbox than some yummy yarn. And when it’s book yarn selecting time, you get a lot of good yarn in the mail!
That’s Merino DK by Hedgehog Fibres in the color Construct.
And that’s Meridian by Seven Sisters Arts in the color Silk Road (the bundle) and Citron (the big skein).
They’re both for Curls 3, which will be mostly speckles and gradients. I’m having so much fun tracking down fabulous yarns, and have a bunch of them sorted out, but if you’ve got any favorite speckles or gradients, I’d love to know about them. It helps if they’re a big enough company to be carried in yarn stores and if they do repeatable colorways, but there’s a bit of flexibility for just the right yarn!
I love the ombré yarns by The Blue Brick. They are small but available in some LYS in the Toronto area and can be ordered online at thebluebrick.ca Thr colorways are inspired by photos.
Oh that’s lovely (and new to me) thanks for telling me about it!
I love sweet gogias gradients! Also done roving dose some lovely ones!
Love Sweet Georgia and totally have them on the list!
Love the speckles by KnittedWit. She’s on Etsy and her colors can be ordered on any of her yarn bases. Lorajean rocks!!
Oh those are lovely, thank you!
Knitcircus does the most lovely gradients and speckles. Please check them out!!
There’s yarn from them in the mail! It should be here soon (and you’re right, their work is lovely).
whee! Do i spy a red in the back of this Silk Road bunch?!? Citron makes me think of your meyers lemons! : ) Construct reminds me of werewolves…blood spots on gray : ) This is my favorite time of year! I can’t wait to see the rest of them! : )
Oh yeah, it goes all the way to red in the end! And now I’m thinking of werewolves knitting and it’s all your fault!
Werewolves knitting!!! I love it! 🙂
I can’t wait for Curls 3! 😀
Me too!
Spun Right Round also does amazing speckles. Their shop is on etsy.
You might very well see one of their yarns pop up on my very next ‘oh look, yarn came’ post!
The Unique Sheep has gorgeous gradients.
Oh you’re right…and they’ve been doing them forever, I should totally check them out, thank you!
I love Seven Sisters yarn! Such gorgeous gradiants.
Everything they do is amazing!
Be still my beating heart! I’ve valiantly resisted the siren call of the curl books since most of my yarn seems to be of the variegated variety. But if you design specifically for colorful yarn, I’m not sure I can resist.
What’s worse is now I want that yarn. Did you really have to worsen my lust for all things hedgehog fibers?
Twisted Fiber Art has beautiful gradient yarn as well.
And Bad Amy!
My LYS, https://islandyarncompany.com/, has some lovely gradient sets in a variety of bases and weights. They have an Etsy shop and sell to stores, too.
https://island-yarn.com/ Is their shop

Is it weird to shout out to myself? 😉 I dye gradients and speckles in a repeatable process. I offer domestically sourced yarn, I sell around the US, as well as online. Let me know if I can send color cards to you!
Not weird at all, your yarn is lovely! I think I have all the yarns for this book sorted now, but I’ll totally keep this in mind for future projects!
