A swatch of a moody variegated colorway called Elberdritchel, knit in a 2x2 rib that grows into a wider rib for a kick flare effect on a skirt. This swatch is going to become a dress!

#theelbiedress base reveal is: a yak silk blend!! 50% superwash merino, 20% silk, 15% yak 3 ply gives this project just the drape and luster I was looking for, with a cleaner ply construction for a smoother fabric. What do you think?!

Got a fun new project in the works… and I’ll be tracking the entire process from planning, trialing, searching, unfortunately probably frogging, and everything along the way! Meet the Elbie Dress, in colorway Elberdritchel! #indiedyed #indyedyedyarn #handdyedyarn #yarnlovers

Today we reveal November’s Ephemeral Club colorway - meet “Aglow”, inspired by the cozy views we see through windows on a cold winter night.

A hand dyed skein of yarn layered with cozy warm gold, candle-lit orange, punchy red, blue sage, tawny brown, and a touch of warm shadowy charcoal. This colorway titled “Aglow” was inspired by the beautiful cozy scenes captured in lit windows at night.

This weekend I worked on a matching cowl with my bestie, learned to comb and drum card a batt, and do a chain ply! It felt so good to learn these new skills and my mind is swimming with how to use all of them for future projects.

A work in progress “Snuggle is Real” knit cowl in Explorer Knits “Flock” colorway on DK and baby Suri with Zeezee Textiles “Edward Peppermint” on Heirloom DK; a merino fleece from my friend’s flock that we combed and drum carded to produce this beautiful, silvery, putty-colored batt; a burgundy chain ply on a wooden bobbin from a single I spun years ago.

This project has been bringing me so much happiness this month so far! I’m loosely using the “ribbed to your measure” tank (for stitch count) to make a long midi dress - I’ve finished fading one way and am now fading back down. It’s so fun! Yarn is from @thefibrefox.bsky.social 2023 countdown.
