For a limited time, I’ve worked up some Rocket Sock in a few must-have tonal gradients. This 2-ply yarn is fabulous for socks, especially summer-weight, lacey socks, but have you tried it for lace shawls and scarves? It’s absolutely ideal! A much lighter alternative to 4-ply fingering weight yarns, Rocket Sock tonals will give you a beautiful, radiant fabric without unsightly the unsightly pooling of most hand-dyed yarns. As well, the colors are well-fixed so you don’t have to worry about fading or bleeding. Because the fiber is superwash merino blended with a bit of nylon, you get a clearer stitch definition, longer wear, and better blocking results than you will with a typical superwash yarn.

Four colorways are now available in limited quantities in the Cedar Hill Farm Company online shop: Wild Blue Yonder, Buy Me Roses, Irish Eyes, and Always a Bridesmaid.

I’ve decided to change the way I list colourways in my shop recently, and to a lesser extent the way that I dye certain OOAK skeins.

When I first started dyeing, I had so many ideas in my head about colourways that I dyed just one skein at a time to get as many colourways as I could out into the world. I would occasionally add multiples of incredibly popular colourways, but most remained with just having one skein dyed, one skein listed.

Recently the demand for some colourways has been huge, and they have been selling out before people manage to get their hands on them — so I have decided to add pre-orders to my Etsy shop. This is for a key range of some of my most popular repeatable colourways, such as my Tokyo Mew Mew range and my Adventure Time range. This means you can now purchase up to five skeins of them at a time, and I will custom dye them for you.

To begin with I have added the following yarns to the store as pre-orders: Team Rainbow, Glamour Prism, Ichigo, Zakuro, Mint, Lettuce, Celestial Resonator, The Nightosphere and Electric Sheep.

In addition to this I have also added two new colourways to my core range. The Grand Budapest Hotel as the first part of a Wes Anderson-inspired line and Burmecia as part of my long-running Final Fantasy range.

So, at the moment the shop is full to the brim of bright colourways waiting to grace your needles and bask in the sunshine to become socks or a shawl… or whatever else you can think of!

I hope to see you there!

Alpaca, Linen and Silk. Colored by Nature. The perfect stunning blend to knit now for shawls, a light weight summer tee or maybe even a beach tote. Perfect too for the first cowl you grab as the nights start getting a little chill. These colors will remind me of summer, long after I’ve rinsed the sand from my shoes.

Look what’s been in the dye pots: lace weight and more sock yarn gradients…

Silver Angel Lace is an Attention Getter!!! The hand of this yarn is perfect for lacy artistry: shawls, summer tops or sweaters. This yarn is 875 yards of squishy, next-to-the-skin awesomeness made of baby alpaca, silk, Cashmere and just a hint of silver sparkle.

Cushy is so named because it’s really soft and squishy Superwash Merino blended with nylon for strength. These 463-yard skeins are dappled gradients with a range of colors. The colors are rich and deep with multiple layers of color and subtle tonal variations within the gradients in the skein. These are all one-of-a-kind (OOAK) originals for you to show off your talents.
