This is the fifth in a series of blog posts featuring the fabulous sponsors of the 2018 Rhinebeck Trunk Show.
Bijou Basin Ranch is known for producing yak, Cashmere, Paco Vicuna and Qiviut blends from a small ranch just outside of Elbert, Colorado. Owners Carl and Eileen Koop also collaborate with some indie dyers, such as ModeKnit Yarns of Minnesota and MJ Yarns of Seattle, who create a little magic in their dye pots and complement their luxurious blends.
Here are some of the latest yarns from their indie dyer series:
Autumn Spice
This is a coordinated collection for colors dyed by MJ Yarns on BBR’s new Himalayan Summit fingering base, a 50/50 blend of yak and Superfine Merino.
Explore Collection
Dyed by Colorful Eclectic on 50/50 yak and silk lace weight, Shangri-La. Each of the colorways in this series would look fantastic on its own, but are designed to pair together, as in the Blood of My Blood shawl from BBR’s Outlander collection, pictured above.
Reflections Collection
Dyed by Colorful Eclectic on Lhasa Wilderness yak/bamboo yarn. Each color in Reflections contains all five colors, with one being the predominant color.
Gobi
Hand-dyed colors from MJ yarns inspired by the Sheildmaidens of Nordic mythology, and popularized in Richard Wagner’s opera “The Valkyrie.” The yarn base is Gobi, a blend of baby camel and silk.
Stripes
Self-striping colors on Himalayan Summit dyed by Modeknit Yarns.
Gradients
Hand dyed on Tibetan Dream by Modeknit Yarns.

The writing process, as I’ve come to understand and appreciate it, is profoundly intricate and deeply personal, blending creativity, discipline, and meticulous research into a singular effort to communicate ideas effectively. In this context, seeking assistance for parts of this process can be invaluable, particularly when deadlines loom large and the pressure mounts. This is where services like write paper https://www.trustpilot.com/review/writepaper.com can play a pivotal role, not as a replacement for one’s own creative and intellectual efforts, but as a support system to refine and enhance the final product.
