We just received three gauges of colorful, luscious hand dyed yarn from up-state NY dyer and pattern designer Toby Roxane Barna! If you missed our trunk show and pop up shop with Toby last fall, now’s your chance to grab some of these beautiful and unique hand dyed wonders!
We have a small quantity of Mohair Silk (458 yards of 70% kid mohair/30% silk/$32), perfect for feathery light shawls and for combining with Chandelier Fingering for adding texture and interest to any garment.
Chandelier Fingering is a 100% superwash merino single-ply with amazing color and speckle combos. With 435 yards per skein, it’s perfect for colorful lightweight sweaters and cardigans or for fades and multi-colored shawls. Chandelier Fingering is $28 per skein.
We’ve also got Velvet Aran, a soft, saturated aran weight in Toby’s amazing range of colors. This lovely aran is ideal for accessory knitting (for you or for gift giving) or as an accent color in a colowork yoked sweater. Velvet Aran is 100% superwash merino, 181 yards and $26 per skein.
