We’re pleased to introduce 7 extra-special colorways hand-dyed by Lattes & Llamas on our yak and bamboo blend, Lhasa Wilderness! These colors made their debut in our booth at the Oregon Flock & Fiber Festival last weekend, and they are now available in our online store!

Colorways include: Black Cherry, Black Forest, Cinnamon Teal, Coastal Breeze, Mango Salsa, Treasure and Very Berry. Quantities are limited and once they’re gone, they’re GONE!

These colorways would also pair nicely with our semi-solid palette of colors in the Outlandish Collection, so get creative and mix and match! To celebrate our newest colors for fall, we’re giving away 7 skeins of Lhasa Wilderness yarn in the winner’s choice of colors. For more contest details (and to enter), go here.

We’re looking forward to a colorful fall!

I make each one-of-a-kind Seaside Knitting Bag in my studio on Florida’s beautiful Gulf Coast. I love to play with fabric and enjoy the process of choosing just the right combination of fabrics for each bag. Designed for knitters who appreciate luxury yarns and well crafted knitting tools, Seaside Knitting Bags are constructed from the finest fabrics, with careful attention to detail and fine workmanship. New bags have just been posted to the website. Remember, it’s not too soon to leave a hint for Santa if one of these is on your holiday wish list!

I hope you will visit the website to see all the available bags. While you are there, read about my process, and check out the blog posts on various knitting-related topics. Happy knitting!

We’re excited to announce that SkeinMinders are now available on our website! Thanks to a our Kickstarter campaign, and special thanks to many of you Indie Untangled folks, we successfully finished the project and recently delivered all the units promised to our backers. Now we’ve started to build them on a continuous basis, in smaller quantities, and they’re available at skeinminder.com. We’re also offering free delivery to those of you who will be at Rhinebeck!

What is a SkeinMinder, you say? It’s a device that automates skein winders, making it an essential tool for any indie dyer with a motorized winder. Just set the number of rotations you want, press the Big Red Button, and that’s it! The SkeinMinder will automatically stop your winder when it gets to the right count, freeing you to do other tasks in the meantime. It also shuts your winder off if the yarn gets jammed.

Use the SkeinMinder to:
– Wind skeins from cones
– Wind minis from larger hanks
– Re-skein full skeins
– Keep your sanity

Check out the dyers who are using SkeinMinders in the Hall of Fame, or on instagram: #skeinminder
(This also serves as quite the excellent enabling list, by the way.)

Happy Winding!

My last post said that I would go a little quiet to get a little louder… and that’s exactly what happened at Knitters’ Day Out last weekend! Thank you to everyone who came out, stopped by, and just plain made my first big show a resounding success. I came home excited, inspired… and wiped out! 4th graders at their first band lesson have nothing on fiber people looking for a new project! (Almost.)

Between what sold out and what I’ve taken down to Wooly Minded (should you find yourself on Market St. in Corning), there’s still enough for a very tidy shop update. Look for it on Sunday!

Green. I’ve had a lifelong love affair with plants, and all the shades of green they come in. Plants became especially dear to me when I lived in southern California, and had such a hard time getting them to grow. I wasn’t the only one who wilted down there. Many plants I’d had for decades withered and died. Here in the Pacific Northwest, however, plants of all kinds practically leap out of the ground. In spring and summer, there are so many leaves on the trees by our house that it sounds like it’s raining — even when it isn’t — because the wind makes the millions of leaves rustle together. This sweater started with the back, with a delightful leaf stitch I found that reminds me of my new home. A dear friend suggested that I make the sleeves lace, too, but that I use a different, coordinating, stitch. I knew the perfect one.

Knit in one piece to the armholes. Simple reverse stockinette stitch in front, party in the back. The boxy, loose ¾-length sleeves, also knit from hem up, have their own party happening.

I’d like to introduce my latest sock design, Heat Lighting in Unplanned Peacock’s Cozy Sock. This is a super fun and easy to knit sock that is worked from the cuff down and incorporates a modified short row heel. The lace pattern is simple enough to knit while watching TV or going to a game. Unplanned Peacock’s Cozy sock was a delight to work with. It’s a blend of 20% super soft alpaca, 60% merino and 20% nylon. It had a luxurious hand and literally just glided over my needles.

In celebration of the release of Heat Lighting and Socktober, ALL of the sock patterns in my Ravelry Pattern Shop are 50% until October 1. Use coupon code: Socktober when you check out.

We’re back from a truly energizing weekend at the Georgia FiberFest and I’m all about making a few much needed changes around here. The first change — and it’s been a big one, not to mention a bit time consuming — is the new look of the online shop. The new set-up should make it easier to shop — just click on the individual listing instead of working with a drop-down box and trying make sure that you are actually ordering the colorway you want. The side bar scrolls up and down, now, too, so I you can click the link to go directly to your favorite yarn. It’s neater, faster, and brighter!

You will notice, though, that some of the yarn labels are “missing.” I’ve decided that it’s time to retire a few labels, what with changing suppliers and adding new yarn lines this year, and the wonderful shoppers at the Georgia FiberFest were more than happy to help me close out that stock. Belle Luxe, Cielo DK, Flock 195, Flock 225, and Flock 335 have all gone away.

Now it’s time to look to autumn for jewel-toned yarns and a darker color palette. I’m looking for natural, earthy tones for my autumn colorways and these can be found in the Journey, Rocket Sock, Rocket Sock Medium, and our newest line, Single Sheep. Single Sheep is our version of the fingering weight single (think Tosh Merino Light) and Blanche, Stella, and Oliver have been gracious enough to give us the fleece off of their backs to make it. Because it’s our first yarn run ever with fleece grown right here at Cedar Hill Farm, quantities are limited. In other words, if you place an order you will want to order exactly what you will need the first time. We also have new colorways of spinning fiber and a bunch of new project bags with grommets.

So stop by the online shop to check out the new yarns and colorways. As always, we also do custom orders and wholesale to LYS and you can contact me through the online shop or by email if you are interested in ordering.

On Wednesday, Sept. 16, Spencer Hill’s Big Cartel shop will go dark for a little bit, as I take it on the road with my cohort Stephanie of Rock Solid Designs to Knitters’ Day Out in Summerdale, PA, on September 18-19! This Friday evening/all day Saturday event includes vendors from Pennsylvania, Maryland, West Virginia, New York, and Australia. If you’re in the Harrisburg area, I hope you can stop by and see Stephanie’s sweet project bags, needle rolls, DPN protectors, and original projects (including one she’s working up with my Nell yarn), and of course, my goods too. I’ll have some hand-dyed and sheep-colored fiber available as well as naturally-dyed yarn. And that picture up there? If I were the student instead of the teacher at school, it would be the subject of my “what I did over the summer” essay. That’s my own personal dining room table with a summer’s worth of dyeing on it. It’s even better in person, if I do say so myself.

Third Vault Designs and Yarns is holding a back to school knit-along to coincide with the season transitioning into Autumn/fall and the littleuns heading back into the classroom.

Swing Me Right Round is an incredibly versatile garment. The jumper is designed to be reversible, so if you want to change up your style you can literally swing it right round — hence the name. Pair it with a dress, skirt or jeans, it works wonderfully with them all. The best part is you don’t have to deal with standard sizing: this jumper is designed to be knit to YOUR size. The pattern comes with a spreadsheet that you input your gauge and measurements. This then generates your stitches to cast on, how many repeats you need to do, your increases, stitch counts for important sections and more. When applied to the pattern, you get to knit a garment that will fit you the way you want and you’ll never want to take it off!

The knit-along runs from the 7th of September to the 31st of October in the Third Vault on the Left Ravelry group. You can join in at any time with no obligation to finish by the end of October. To enter the prize draws, you need to be either 50% finished to win a Third Vault Designs Pattern, or 100% finished to get the chance to win one of three Third Vault Yarns skeins of yarn and a pattern. For more information visit the group or the blog.

To top it all off, the pattern is on sale with £2 off from Ravelry when using the code KALtime! and free with any purchase of Companion 4ply or Echo DK for the KAL from Third Vault Yarns. Custom Orders for the KAL also receive a free gift!
