Shop Update!

fiberphile shop update 1-5-09

I’ve been working on some new dyeing techniques and I’ll be adding the first new yarns to the shop tonight. Here’s a brief description of each method and what you can expect from it when knitting:

Glimmer™

Fiberphile Glimmer™ is a semi-solid yarn that has random light to dark areas of one hue. It is a good choice for patterns that feature complex stitch patterns.

Because colors are applied randomly and are allowed to blend during the dye process, projects made with this yarn will not have repeated patterns or regular pooling. If pooling does occur, it will be random and will not repeat throughout the project.

Mosaic™

Fiberphile Mosaic™ is dyed in regular color blocks that repeat throughout the entire skein. Three to four harmonious colors are combined and blended between to create a variegated color palette with lots of depth.

Because this yarn is dyed in regular color repeats, pooling can occur. Many times, pooling can be eliminated or made less noticeable by going up or down a needle size, or by using a different stitch pattern.

Alchemy™

Fiberphile Alchemy™ is dyed in random overlapping layers of three to four harmonious colors. This technique creates beautiful blending effects and results in a rich, multi-dimensional colorscape for your finished project.

Because colors are applied randomly and are allowed to blend during the dye process, projects made with this yarn will not have repeated patterns or regular pooling. If pooling does occur, it will be random and will not repeat throughout the project.

Eclipse™

Fiberphile Eclipse™ begins with randomly dyed areas of one or two harmonious hues. The eclipse is created by adding black or brown which results in a rich, dark hue with incredible depth.

Because colors are applied randomly and are allowed to blend during the dye process, projects made with this yarn will not have repeated patterns or regular pooling. If pooling does occur, it will be random and will not repeat throughout the project.

I’m working on repeatable colorways in numbered dye lots so that you can use your fiberphile yarn for larger projects.

I’ve also added a new yarn to my line- Superwash Merino Heavy Worsted. This yarn is every bit as soft as my Super Squish Sock Yarn and perfect for next-to-the-skin wear. You’ve got to feel it to believe it!

While supplies last, I’ll be celebrating the new year by including a free Eucalan wool wash sample with each yarn purchase.
