Breaking News: I will no longer be custom dyeing, as I have become so busy over the last few months (hooray!) that "a skein of this and two of that" multiplied by a whole lot of lovely and patient folk... has become an administrative nightmare that is sucking away hours and hours of time I could be spending dyeing.  However, this colourway will become "Repeatable", which means that I will endeavor to keep stock on hand in a variety of yarn bases and replenish it as it sells.  I will try to do larger batches of sweater weight yarn bases for those who want the chance to snag sufficient quantities of a single dyelot for a larger project.  There will also be a poll for preferred yarn bases, and separate mailing lists for those who want to know exactly when a colourway gets restocked.  That is all going in a newly organized section of the site, so check back soon!

Yarn bases available:

Lace-weight: Glowing Hearts, Essential Merino Lace

Fingering: Summit Sock, Bluefaced Bliss, Merino-Silk , Essential Merino Fingering

Sport: Bluefaced Bliss Sport, Essential Merino Sport

Worsted: Bluefaced Bliss Worsted, Essential Merino Worsted, SuperNatural Silk, Cruiser ($28 per ½ lb skein, or $89 for four x ½ lb skeins).  *** The mill that supplies my Cruiser yarn has just informed me that they can't resupply until fall.  I have managed to order enough to fullfill my current committments, but I won't be taking new orders for Cruiser until I see what I have left, and I will be looking for an alternate basic wool in the meantime. 

Aran/Chunky: Essential Merino Aran 

Bulky: Wooly Moguls, Mountain Mohair

Status updated: June 25th, 2009

Total reserved skein count (round 2): 31  Round 2 has been dyed, though there may be a couple of flawed skeins that will have to be replaced/redyed.  We are presently reskeining and compiling the lot, invoices and emails should be coming in the next few days.

Round 3: 17

To reserve your yarn:  Email me with the requested base yarn(s) and the number of skeins.  I will keep a running tally of the total reserved skein count on this page.  When the count reaches or exceeds 40-ish (I may well do it sooner, depending on my schedule and how long folk have been waiting), I will set aside a dyeing day for the colourway.  Once the yarn is dyed to my satisfaction, I will advise you and send a Paypal invoice via email (and a photo of your yarn, if requested.)  Pricing, shipping and payment terms are the same as ordering through the website shopping cart.

Note: I have selected this colourway with a high degree of confidence in its repeatability, however there will always be some variation between dyelots and I can in no way guarantee a match between different dyelots.  Please ensure that you purchase enough yarn of a single dyelot for your project.
