I love dyeing gradients! Yes, it takes a little longer, but I love the final effect. I usually can’t wait to start braiding the dry and fluffy wool and my first instinct is always to twist the braid into a roll to see the different color gradations. Well, this time I decided to do my first September update with a few gradients using a couple of different fiber bases. I included a Domestic Rambouillet which is a wonderful and soft wool that has been sourced and processed here in the US and a Polwarth Top. I hope you visit my shop and see what I have available!

It’s getting on to the cooler weather here on the East Coast and it is beginning to show in our products. The time is now to begin to think about our fall/winter spinning projects. While the elements may be nasty and blowing outside you can sit in your warm, comfy home spinning up dream yarns. To help with that we have a new base at June Pryce. It is a lovely 80% ecru Merino and 20% black Tussah silk. This stuff is gorgeous soft and silky. It will spin up both a worsted or a woolen yarn to “dye” for. The two tone base adds a depth and richness to the colorway that you can not get with dye alone. We have tested out this new base on three of our favorite shop colorways to a great response. Keep an eye out for more exciting colorways on this fantastic base.

Happy Spinning!

Bijou Basin Ranch and Miss Babs have teamed up to bring you two gorgeous limited-edition colorways on our Tibetan Dream sock yarn base. The creative color experts from Miss Babs have dreamed up two knitworthy variegated colors for fall knitting: Seaside and Autumn.

Each skein of Tibetan Dream yarn has 440 yards, enough to knit a pair of socks or a fingering-weight shawl. The soft and durable blend of 85% pure yak and 15% nylon perfectly shows off the striking colors created by the folks at Miss Babs. These limited-edition skeins are must-have for fans of luxury yarn and indie dyers!

Both exclusive colors are available in our online store while supplies last, and we will also have a limited number of skeins available at our upcoming events (see our calendar for more details). They are sure to sell out fast, so grab yours today!

I am super excited about my recent collaboration with the brilliantly talented knitwear designer Natalie Pelykh. Natalie created a stunning, intricately cabled hat using Luna Grey Altair yarn. Altair is a unique blend of soft superwash Merino, Tencel and nylon. It’s smooth texture accentuates cable work beautifully.

Natalie and I decided to offer her Fanciful Flower hat pattern as a project kit in my shop. Kits make a perfect gift for the knitter in your life. Or, treat yourself with a ready-to-knit project! This is an intermediate level pattern suitable for knitters who are comfortable knitting detailed cable work. The hat is sized from child to adult.

When hinges creak in doorless chambers, and strange and frightening sounds echo through the halls; Whenever candlelights flicker where the air is deathly still – that is the time when ghosts are present, practicing their terror with ghoulish delight!

How to participate:

This limited fabric is available for preorder from Friday, August 29th, 2014 until SOLD OUT. Once items are sold out, preorders will no longer be available. This gives us time to special order the fabric, receive the supplies, sew like crazy, and prepare to ship. The scheduled ship week of this club is the week of September 29, 2014.

What is the Bag of the Month? The bag of the month was created to allow SSS to specialty fabrics for our favorite fandoms. Specialty fabric printing is pricey, so there is an additional cost to this, it comes out to about $5-$7 extra a bag. These are super limited. As of yet we have not reprinted a fabric, so once it is gone, you may never see it again! Buying anything in the limited fabrics DOES NOT obligate you to any future purchases Note: All bag of the month clubs are inspired by the subject for which they are named. We use either our own artwork, or that of indie artists all over the world to create a unique take on all kinds of fandoms.

If you would like to see what we have done with other clubs and the feedback available please come check out my Ravelry fan page where you can post about your Slipped Stitch Studios experiences, and read about all the great things to come!

As August comes to a close and autumn draws near, I’ve been very busy over at Sweet Sheep preparing all sorts of fun fall scents for my super moisturizing, lanolin-containing lotion bars. To make room for cozy spicy things like Apple Butter and Pumpkin Spice, the spring and summer scents must go! The following lotion bar scents are on sale for 25% off:

Carnation
Coconut Lime
Chipotle Caramel
Fresh Mango
Honey Beeswax
Sea Moss
Spring Meadow

Once these scents sell out, they won’t be re-stocked until next year. (Have no fear, however: you can always request a bar through a custom order.) The bars have a very long shelf life (up to 2 years) due to their lack of water and the stable, anti-oxidant oils I use in my recipe. This means that if you purchase a summer-scented bar now, it will still be fine to use next time the warmer weather comes around!

Also, a small PSA: as of September 1st I will be raising prices by approx. 5% to more adequately cover my costs. So now’s the time to grab your bar or lip balm at their current prices!

I think that some of the most beautiful stitch patterns are the timeless patterns of the traditional fisherman’s guernseys. I wish that I had more time to knit a guernsey for myself, but in its stead, I’ve put together a much faster knitting project to keep one just as warm when the cool weather creeps in: The Whitby Hat & Cowl. Relying on the repetition of two century-old guernsey stitch patterns from the British Isles, this hat and cowl are a perfect match! The Whitby stitch pattern, represented by the closely-constructed Jacob’s Ladder sections and the Scarborough stitch pattern, represented by the bulky cable, combine so well that they are sure to catch the eye of every passerby.

The hat and the cowl, named for the town of Whitby, which is located on the River Esk in Yorkshire, are knit using my own hand dyed Flock 195 (Cedar Hill Farm Company) in Tanzanite. Knitted up on a 16-inch circular US 9 (5.5mm) needle, the duo require a total of 410 yards (375m) of worsted weight yarn. (Flock is a 3-ply, but a 10-ply worsted weight can be substituted.) The pattern is charted and written and includes suggestions for modification of size for each piece. As promised, the Whitby Place Hat & Cowl pattern has been released and is now available for download on Etsy, Ravelry, and Craftsy. This cowl, particularly, has become a favorite of mine already, and I am sure it will be a favorite of yours, too, for years to come!

Continuing with the Emperor Otho, The Twelve Caesars Collection is a monthly tribute to the first twelve Caesars of the Roman Empire. Never heard of Otho? He only lasted for 95 days!

The update goes live on the website on Friday 29th August at 7pm UK time and will comprise of batches of yarn and fibre that are one of a kind and not repeatable.
