Get ready — tonight, at 10 p.m. Eastern, is the launch of Asylum Fibers. Stephanie, who organizes one of my knitting groups here in NYC, hand dyes semisolid, variegated, speckled self-striping and ombre colorways. Some will be non-repeatable “Chaos Colorways,” while there will also be zany regulars, with names like Bad Bad Girl, Hydrotherapy, Moody, and The Shower Scene.
Sandpiper Socks, Barbara Benson’s first ever sock pattern, has a very clever construction, using variegated yarn with a contrasting color that allows the complex colors to really sing.
Keya’s new Ripple Socks feature a lacy pattern that happens to be stretchy. These socks also holds their own against the randomness of variegated hand-dyed yarns.
This new diaper cover pattern from Knit Eco Chic is inspired by a knitting-related verse in a sacred song.
Indie Untangled newcomer One Hand in the Dyepot has a science-y approach to her work.
Another IU newbie is actually two — mother-daughter dye team Legacy Fiber Artz, with yarns inspired by television shows, movies and more.
Select yarns in the Dye is Cast Yarns Etsy shop are 20% off.
Elliebelly Dye Works has a new base that’s 65% Superwash Merino, 20% Silk and 15% yak.
