Candy Skein- A Brand New Colorway Revealed!

I'm very excited to announce that I have added a new color to the Candy Skein line! I thought it would be fun to dye the new color in three different bases so you can see how the same dye takes to the different fibers.

I bring to you Candy Skein's new color, Blue Snow Cone. It's a gorgeous light blue with small specks of lavender that is breathtaking, especially in the Delicious series which has a purple/pink halo.

Before I share this week's yarn, I want to let you all know that I will be making a few big announcements next week, including the new KAL coming up that will start in October. Stay tuned for that!

FO Friday 47

Happy almost weekend! I hope you all have a great time doing whatever you have planned and perfect weather for it. We have a wedding to go to at the beach this weekend. To be honest, I had no clue what I was going to wear. After raiding my sister's closet for a dress and getting a special surprise in the mail, I totally have an awesome outfit! Want to see the surprise?




It's a gorgeous Aeolian shawl in Candy Skein Delicious lace yarn in the Candy Skein colorway. It's a colorway I specifically dyed for this shawl, and haven't made another skein in this colorway after. I wanted it to match my Candy Skein logo, and I think it got pretty close!

I'm so very lucky to know and call a friend a very talented lady named Robin. She's in my Monday night knitting group and offered to make me a sample shawl for when I do marketplaces/conventions/craft shows. How could I say no!? Isn't it AMAZING!!?? I can't help but pet it (even my cat, Roxy couldn't not pet it!) and it's sooo soft and light. The drape is amazing. I have crazy sensitive skin, and I was wearing it over a tank top around the house last night and I didn't have any issues whatsoever. I plan to take pictures of me with it on and the little black dress I'm going to wear it with on Saturday!

That's it for me for FO Friday. Unfortunately, I don't have anything to share that I've actually knit. I hope you don't mind me sharing Robin's beautiful work, but I couldn't help but brag at my new addition to my wardrobe.

Share you FOs!

Candy Skein- New Delicious Lace!

Hi everyone! I hope you had a great weekend. We had a very quiet one, as we stayed home and worked. Not fun, but it needed to be done. To be honest, it wasn't as bad as it sounds, as I love spending time with my husband, no matter what we're doing. Now on to Candy Skein news!

I wanted to give you all a sneak peak of a new line coming to Candy Skein soon, the Ripening series. Below is a picture of Ripening Strawberry. The yarn is DK weight, 40% Baby Alpaca/40% Wool/10% Silk and is a single ply with 252 yards. This particular skein goes from light pink to a deep red in a slow gradient, as the skein is broken up in 25g increments for each color.
