Happy Monday!

I’ve had some issues lately and wasn’t able to obtain yarns to dye for September, so I haven’t dyed this weekend. I’m hoping that I can sell enough this week to buy more yarn.  Need to raise about $600, if possible.

But, troubles aside, we have plenty to see on the Blog Reader Specials page.

First, these are the unclaimed yarns I just posted from last weekend’s collection:

And then I pulled some possible foursome bundles, combining newer yarns with others that were previously posted, in order to play with various compatible combinations:

I pulled out several foursome combinations that appealed to me as possible striping projects.  Mind you, as with a few weeks ago, these combinations are only suggestions, based on what tickles my own eyes.  You are encouraged to make your own combinations, and I am happy to pull out other combinations to photograph for you on request.  I’ve made sure all the item numbers are clear in each picture, and some items appear in more than one picture here.

All yarns on the BRS page will be invoiced at $20.00 per skein now through Friday,  12Sep2025.  You do not need to order four or more to get the discounted pricing.

To claim any yarns, just send me an email with your numbered item request.

This one has the same colors, but will stripe some as heavier in the purples, and others heavier in the pinks.

This combination seems perfect for a baby blanket with gentle colors throughout.

And another baby-soft combination.

This one is similar but  #639-640 are a little richer than the #99-100 just above. 

Here are several combinations of blues.

And here we start leaning into greens:

We are living in crazy times

As far as I’ve been told, my supplier intends to absorb current tariffs, but I’ve also learned that many countries are simply not shipping into the U.S.  Many small-time dyers (like me) are having troubles one way or another.  My current base yarn comes from Peru, but I don’t know how long my supplier will be able to get my base yarn.  I may have to switch to yarns from an American mill, which are of course very good quality as well but more expensive, which will mean my yarns will automatically cost money.  I’ve done all I could to provide great quality yarns at a fair price for indie dyed one-of-a-kind yarns.  If I have yarns in-house, I can dye and have yarns to show and sell.  Getting the yarns in-house is a challenge for me at the moment.

In other, more positive news, Houston seems to be experiencing cooler, most autumn like weather, and that’s always a nice change. My health is holding up as well and I’ve been able to get out and take a walk more regularly.
