The Sunsets of Tuscany Collection is Ready

The colorways for this week at SockPixie are ready. I just uploaded the collection to the SockPixie Website.

Here are all the Sunsets of Tuscany colorways together.



I am going to play a CD of Italian music, and I'll just sit and stare at the yarns for a while...

Hand-dyed Surprises for Tomorrow!

As you may have noticed, I have not dyed yarn in a long time. But this week, I finally did. It was so exciting to play with colors again.

I approached dyeing just seeking to please my hunger for color. I created colorways to match the fibers, and picked fibers to flatter the colorways and reflect the textural qualities of my inspirations. I will have only a couple skeins available in each colorway, and the colorways will vary by fiber. There will be soft haloed alpaca blends and cashmere blends, luxurious silk blends, and seacell blends.

I chose to paint sunsets in Tuscany inspired by one of my favorite novels, Room with a View.

For Sunset over the Arno, I picked an Alpaca blend, seeking to capture not only the colors but also the hazy texture of the Tuscan evening air after a warm summer day.



I hope you will join me tomorrow, Sunday, to enjoy the romantic sunsets of Tuscany.
