I spent most of the last few months developing some new colors that I am finally ready to share. These colors are inspired by my already existing yarns, but are dyed in different ways.

“Paintwater” is my term for the speckled effect yarns. These yarns are created by squirting the dye randomly onto the yarn to create a swirled, watered down effect. “Tonal” is a mostly solid color that is not 100% solid, but instead varies in tone of that one color.

And of course my “Original” colors are still available! Pair all three for a faded or striped project and let your inner artist show!

All yarn and prints are 20% off and free shipping, no code needed, through November 26th. There are color options for everyone, all inspired by my lovely knitted landscape paintings! And if you love the paintings, pick up a print or two to decorate your studio walls. Help me clear out inventory so I can start revealing new things in the coming month and get some holiday shopping done in the process.

Yarns available in three bases – 100% SW Merino fingering, 100% SW Merino worsted and 75/25 SW Merino/Nylon fingering.

2017 was a great year for me and my indie endeavors. I began dying and selling yarn, having multiple trunk and festival showings in a very short time. And now it’s 2018 and I’m amping things up to make this an even better year.

So why not start the year with two new colorways? “Early Snow Flowers” is a red and brown mix that is sure to be a warm addition to any stash, while “Green Rain Tears” is a nice earthy blend that is perfect for those foresty patterns and designs. Both colors are currently on my Sock and Worsted bases, with more bases coming soon. And as always, you receive a free card with the image of the original painting.

While many were exploring Rhinebeck, I had the honor of selling yarn at a local event here in Texas: The Hill Country Yarn Crawl. I’m happy to say that I sold quite a bit, but you’re in luck, because I had some left! I have updated my shop with my remaining inventory of yarn, including a new base! With only two remaining skeins, my sock base is 75% SW Merino, 25% nylon. I will be dying more of these up, but with handpaint it will never be exactly the same.

I also added my remaining 100% SW Merinos, in both the 50g tonals and 100g handpaints.

All of my colorways are dyed to match original oil paintings created by me, and each skein purchased comes with a greeting card with the painting image on the front. At about 450 yds, all of my fingering skeins are perfect for socks, shawls, scarves and more!

After a long absence from the Indie Untangled Marketplace, I am happy to be returning with some amazing news! The Knitting Artist is back and as active as ever, now featuring gorgeous hand-dyed yarn in colorways that match the original paintings that I have created. Each skein is hand-painted with washfast and lightfast dyed in a manner that best represents the original work of art that inspires it. And while each skein was dyed at the same time, in a sense they are all One of a Kind. This lot will never match the next so get these while you can!

The yarn used, 100% wool, is light and airy, with a soft plied twist. While listed as fingering, it is closer to a light fingering weight. But don’t let that fool you! This yarn has a wonderful drape and blocks out amazingly into wonderful shawls and accessories.

Currently I am offering three different colorways in my 100g skeins of hand-painted. I also have three different tonals in 50g skeins to match each of the hand-painted. Limited quantities in each, but working on establishing a more set inventory as time goes on. Use code COLORSET to save $5 when you buy a hand-paint and a tonal together. Included with each purchase of a hand-painted is a greeting card with a printed image of the inspired painting on the front.
