Dyeing - Knitting Notions

Wow! How is it July Already?

Dear Readers, how is it July already? I have a lot of catching up to do but I’ll make this post a brief summary. Let’s get to the particulars of travels, knitting, yarn dyeing and reading.

Travels

In June, I was at the Hoosier Hills Fiber Festival for the 20ᵗʰ anniversary celebration of the event. I was in attendance for 18 of those years and I am proud to have been a part of this lovely festival.

The following weekend I was in Fisherville, VA for a brand new festival called the Virginia Fiber Fest. It was a great first year of the show, and I am looking forward to watching this gain an audience. In 2027 it will be moving up in the calendar a few weeks to the last weekend in June.

On the way home from Virginia, I made a one day stop in Crossville, TN at Heather’s lovely yarn shop, The Yarn Patch, for a trunk show. I had a wonderful day there hanging out in her shop and even did a little stash enhancing myself while I was there. I couldn’t resist this lovely color (Burgundy) of Cascade Yarns Pandamonium, for a summer top.

I am enjoying some time at home at the moment. We are in production mode on new Shawl/Hair sticks, Nostepinnes and of course Yarn.

Yarn Dyeing

While I am waiting for my yarn order from the mill, I dyed up a new color from stock I already had on hand. I toyed with the ideas of adding a new light blue or maybe a dark espresso brown. I wasn’t very excited by any of the formulas that I sampled. Out of nowhere I tried a formula that I loved immediately. It is different to anything in my current palette and it plays well with the other colors. The name that came to mind and stuck is Black Cherry. I am thrilled with it and can’t wait to knit a sample with it. It is available on our website in all four of our bases.

Due to the addition of the new color, we have discontinued the color Oregano. It is available on the website in all four of our bases, for $20 a skein until it is gone. In case you aren’t familiar with those bases, we have two fingering weights; Classic Merino Bamboo and Classic Merino Superwash Sock. Our two heavier yarns are Classic Merino Superwash Sport and Classic Merino Superwash DK. These will also be in our booth next month while supply lasts.

After getting the new color dyed, and labeled, I began dye preparations to restock my other 31 colors. I got part of that dyeing completed with what yarn I still had on hand, but now I am waiting for my remaining order to arrive in order to finish the job.

Knitting

I finished the baby knitting I was working on in May and June. I actually gifted it to the mom and baby yesterday since she(the baby) was born this week. We are excited and glad that they are doing well.

After I finished that project, I cast on for some socks as an interim knit. I am still working on them. I finished the first sock and have progressed to just past the cuff on sock# 2.

I’m currently ruminating on what to cast on for a booth sample. I know I want to use my new color Black Cherry, but that is as far as I have gotten yet. I’ll let you know as soon as I know.

Reading

I have done a lot of reading in the time since my last post, but instead of listing it all, I’ll just share my favorites and what I am currently reading.

My absolute favorite recent read was the new release from Ann Patchett, Whistler. I love everything that she writes and this was no exception. It was fantastic! If you haven’t read her work, this is a great one to start with. It is a 5 star read for me.

Honorable mentions from my recent reads are: Flashlight by Susan Choi and Venetian Vespers by John Banville I gave them both 4 stars, and both were nominated for literary prizes this year. I have read a lot of John Banville before and he is always good. This was my first book by Susan Choi and I am open to reading other books by her too.

My current reads are just two:

Monsters in the Archives by Caroline Bicks; This is a delving into the writing process of five of Stephen King’s early works by looking at his archives of first drafts and other edits. It’s a fun little read for fans of his work.
Mansfield Park by Jane Austin; It’s Jane Austen in July time again and I am enjoying a re-read of this book. I look forward to this every year. I am working my way through her novels again, usually reading one each summer. They are all amazing, of course, it’s Jane Austen!

Closing

I’ll leave you with that note and try to be back in touch sooner this time. Thank you for being here!

Highlights From April and What’s Coming in May

Custom Dye Order Knitting Notions hand-dyed yarn

Highlights from April include some yarn dyeing, two fiber festivals and some baby knitting. We’ve got several events coming up in May, and I will also discuss what I’ve been reading this month.

Yarn Dyeing

I took advantage of a break in the festival schedule to do some yarn dyeing. I had two custom orders to fulfill. Since I was doing that, it seemed sensible to work on some restocking of our yarn too. We got all of that done in between two fiber festivals; The Greencastle Wool Show and the Midwest Fiber Festival.

Fiber Festivals

The Greencastle Wool Show is in Greencastle, Indiana. We have been a long time vendor here. It’s a smaller, quieter festival a bit west of Indianapolis. It takes place the second weekend in April on Friday and Saturday.

Midwest Fiber Festival 2026 Knitting Notions booth — Knitting notions knitting tools

The Midwest Fiber Festival is in St. Louis, Missouri. It is a newer show, this was the 5th year, and we are one of the founding vendors. I am excited to see how it grows in the coming years.

Upcoming festivals in May are :

Shepherd’s Harvest Festival in St. Elmo, MN – May 9-10
Kentucky Sheep and Fiber Festival in Lexington, KY – May 16-17
The Great Lakes Fiber Show in Wooster, OH – May 23-24

Knitting

I finished knitting the baby sweater set I was making for new baby due in July. I knew the yardage of the yarn I was using was going to be close, and it was. I literally used every inch of it, but I made it.

I decided to stash dive again into my cotton yarns and make a little blanket to go with the set. I have eight balls of Rowan Handknit DK yarn in a dark rose color, I have had for least 20 years. It should be plenty for the size I am making. The pattern is Hourglass Throw by Anne Hanson. It is currently satisfying my lace knitting itch.

Reading

Recently Completed:

Twist by Collum McCann – 4 stars
The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas – 4 stars
The Searcher and The Hunter by Tana French – both 4 stars

Currently Reading:

The Keeper by Tana French – This the third book in the Cal Hooper Trilogy. This is a recent release and I just started it today. I wanted to re-read the first two books (above) before reading this one.

I have several other books in my pile of possibilities for May. I’m a bit of a mood reader, so we’ll see what happens there. I have a lot of driving coming up next week as I travel to Minnesota for the Shepherd’s Harvest Festival, so I should get through a couple of audio books during the trip. I’ll let you know.

Thanks for reading!

Yarn Dyeing Days and Other Production Updates

We have gotten the yarn dyeing done and are working on other production, specifically new Nostepinnes. I have some knitting and reading updates too.

YARN DYEING

You have many times been kind enough to indulge me while I rattle on about my yarn dyeing processes, and I thank you for your patience. I won’t bore you with great details, but I will briefly outline our timetable.

I spent a couple afternoons plus a couple of full days on the dye preparations. It took me another full day to get all the yarn prepared for it’s batches.

We spent three days at the dye pots getting the dyeing done and the yarn mostly dry.

It took me a day and a half to do the printing, cutting, and organizing of the labels. I got all the yarn labeled and stored over a period of 4 days. I also tackled and filed our income tax return on the following day. Yay! I was glad to have gotten that accomplished with a week to spare before our first festival of 2026.

FIBER FESTIVAL

I will be driving to Chattanooga, TN on Thursday for the Scenic Stitches Fiber Festival. I was pleasantly surprised, last year, with the attendance. It was the inaugural year and sometimes it takes a little time for a new show to gain traction. I am excited to see how this year goes. I am not sure what knitting I will be taking with me.

KNITTING

I have a couple unfinished projects that I should return to, and I probably will, for at least one of them. That project is the Summershine Top. I am nearly done with it. I just need to finish the back, seam it and knit the collar.

I have almost finished with Elijah’s raglan sweater. The only knitting that remains is the collar. I have the sleeves blocking and I will seam it together as soon as they are dry.

I feel the itch to begin a new lace project, but I don’t have anything definite picked out yet. I will try to be sensible and finish the other sweater first. It will be perfect for wearing soon as the weather warms up.

KNITTING TOOLS PRODUCTION

I mentioned in my last post that we were working on some more Nostepinnes. We added some to the inventory last week.

We are also currently trying out a new version for winding mini-skeins and remnants. These will be just slightly smaller overall than our regular Nostepinnes. I find them a handy size to carry in my knitting bag for re-winding those little leftover remnants. They are also great for winding mini- skeins, like you see with advent sets and such. We will try them out this spring and see how well they appeal.

READING

I’ve finished some books since the first of the month. The first three, I told you about in my last post:

Currently Reading:

That Night in the Library by Eva Jurcyzk – I started this one as my Audible read after finishing Heart the Lover. It’s okay so far but the characters are a bit flat. Plot is interesting enough to keep me listening to see what happens.
The Secret of Secrets by Dan Brown – my oldest son gave me this for Christmas. I read all but one of the previous volumes in the Robert Langdon series. These are always entertaining even if the prose isn’t spectacular. I am enjoying it and it is actually making me read past my bedtime. 🙂

CLOSING

As always, I appreciate your time. Until next time, take care!

Festivals, Yarn Dyeing, and Knitting; Oh My!

There has been a lot going on since my last post. There have been festivals, yarn dyeing, knitting, and more.

Festivals

I wanted to write this post so many times in the last three weeks. By the time the days priorities were completed, I had no steam left.

The first weekend in September, after Labor Day, I was in Jefferson, WI for the Wisconsin Sheep & Wool Festival. What a great weekend it was too! The weather was cool and sunny. It was super busy all three days. I left totally exhausted and needing to dye more yarn. More on that in the next section.

Wisconsin Sheep & Wool Festival Knitting Notions booth

The third weekend in September, was the 29th annual Wool Gathering at Young’s Jersey Dairy in Yellow Springs, OH. This is an outdoor event in big tents. The weather was hot and sunny for setup day on Friday and also on Saturday. It was cloudy with some afternoon showers on Sunday. The attendance was great even in the heat. Thanks to all who support the vendors no matter what the weather. :-) I especially enjoyed seeing Maureen of KnittingIsSoFun blog. It was so lovely chatting!

wool gathering festival Knitting Notions booth

I had a short day and a half at home, and now I am on the way to Winchester, VA. This coming weekend is the Shenandoah Valley Fiber Festival. I drove halfway up today and will finish the drive tomorrow. I will be setting up the booth on Friday. I am excited to see another blog friend there over the weekend. :-)

Yarn Dyeing

So, as mentioned above, after Wisconsin Sheep &Wool Festival, there were some gaps in the yarn inventory. I wasn’t out of anything yet, but the weekend between the two festivals was my only time home long enough to re-dye some yarn. So, yarn dyeing was what we did on the second weekend in September.

I spent most of three days getting the dye and yarn prep work done. Saturday and Sunday were dyeing days, and Monday and Tuesday was spent labeling and storing. Wednesday was packing for Wool Gathering. I had one day after returning from Ohio to reload the trailer with a few things and pack my stuff again. That brings me up to today where I am now, in southwest Virginia for the night. Whew!

Knitting

It will probably not be a surprise that not a lot of knitting has happened in the last three weeks. I did manage to complete the knitting of the back piece of my Summershine Top. I have begun and knit the ribbing for the front piece, but that is it.

I may be planning to knit the Stephen West MKAL when it launches. I will be in VA that week with a few days to rest between festivals. I have not picked what colors of Classic Merino Superwash Sock I plan to use. I’ll let you know in my next post. This year’s palette is four colors, and I will probably do a gradient set. Is anyone else taking the plunge this year?

Reading

I’ll end this post with a reading update of what I have finished and what I am currently reading.

During my drive to and from Wisconsin, I ended up listening to Gilead**** by Marilynne Robinson. I enjoyed the story but I don’t know that I will read the other books in the series.

During my drive to and from Ohio, and still continuing during my drive to Virginia, I am listening to Blackwater: The Complete Saga by Michael McDowell. This is classified as Horror, but honestly it’s not that really. It’s more of a family saga with a weird monster/supernatural element. The prose isn’t bad, but it’s not fancy either. I am enjoying the story even if it is a bit strange.

I am almost finished with my bedtime reading; Light in August by William Faulkner. Now this one is some fine prose. I love Faulkner’s writing. I am enjoying the story too. Definitely a ****1/2!

I started The Hallmarked Man by Robert Galbraith/J.K.Rowling. I only read the first 12 chapters though. I decided to save it until I finished Faulkner so I can devote ALL my attention to it this week. I am excited to really dig in soon!

Okay, I am kinda tired and really to chill for the evening. I’ll be back soon. Thanks for reading!

Summer Activities: Knitting, Dyeing, and More Fun

It is high time for a catching up post about our summer activities. There will be some content about my knitting, reading, yarn dyeing, and a few other odds and ends.

Knitting

First, let’s get right to the knitting content. I am working exclusively on the Muqarnas top. In my last post, I showed you the finished sleeves and the ribbing for the body section. At this point I have knit 4 of the lace repeats on the body section. The intended length of the body before joining it with the arms, is 14 inches. I have almost 9 inches right now. According to my measurements, I need to knit about 3 more lace repeats to reach that goal.

I am looking forward to that milestone. It will slow down the progress even more at first. The addition of the sleeve stitches makes the rounds longer, after all. The momentum of the decreases makes the progress much faster at that point. I can’t wait to see how the finished top looks! I love how lace changes after blocking. It is worth the wait!

Yarn Dyeing and other Business Stuff

The first half of the festival season came to its conclusion for us in early June. Our last spring show was Hoosier Hills Fiber Festival in Franklin, IN. It was another fantastic year and I am so pleased to be a witness to the growth of this festival over the years. I began with the show in 2008, and it is one of my favorites now. I’ll share a few pics from this year.

Hoosier Hills Fiber Festival 2025 Knitting Notions booth

Upon returning to Nashville, we went straight into yarn dyeing time. I spent about a week with dyeing preparations. This involves lots of math and spreadsheet work, dye stock mixing and final color mixing. Then more math and spreadsheet work to make work order plans. Then finally, get all the yarn prepped. For me, that means bundling and soaking for the dye pots.

Knitting Notions Yarn dyeing — mixing dye stocks

Other preparations were also some much needed upgrades to our “dye and finishing studio”. This area is in our daylight basement which opens out onto the covered patio area we built 5 years ago. I have been relying on clip on shop lights on the floor joists and portable fans in hot weather. We decided to install a large fan that is suspended from the joists. Even more exciting, to me anyway, are the ceiling shop lighting. We got 4 of these and they sure do make a huge difference! I love how much better I can see. This is particularly important when measuring stock to mix colors. Notice in the above right picture, that was before we installed the new lighting.

We accomplished all the dyeing of the yarn in three sessions over one weekend. It was hot and mostly dry that week. That is a bit of a con for the dyers, but a pro for getting the yarn dry.

The following week, we got all the labeling and storing done. Now we are all set for the fall festivals. I have extra yarn in the event that we need to dye anything that runs low. The only catch will be time to do it.

In other product news, the wood shop has been in full operation all spring also. We have been adding a lot of Shawl/Hair Sticks to the inventory. Lately, that has been some Walnut, Mahogany, and Maple.

Currently, we are working on some more Darning Eggs. These were hot sellers around Christmas time and for a few months after that, so the inventory got a bit low in some woods. We are out on a few also, but more will be in stock soon! I will be back out at festivals in early August, and we should have plenty more by then.

Reading

Let’s switch topics to a bit of book chat. First, I would love to hear what you’re reading lately if you want to share in the comments.

I am making my way through my TBR but I am also a bit of a mood reader, so there have been many diversions. They were good ones though, and that’s the important thing.

My most exciting report is that I finished my re-read of War and Peace. I am so glad that I took my time with it. It took me 6 months, but it was time well spent. I definitely have a fuller understanding and appreciation for what Tolstoy was doing with this work than I did after my first read 13 years ago. If you haven’t tried it, I encourage you to have a go at it. The chapters are pretty small so even if you only set a goal of a chapter a day, you can read it slowly through over a year. Anna Karenina is a bit more engaging, character wise, but War and Peace is just so magnificent!

Other books that I have read in June are:

Never Flinch – Stephen King (*** okay but not one my favorites)
Cold Mountain – Charles Frazier (**** a re-read sparked by reading The Trackers; really liked it!)
The Wedding People – Alison Espach (**** first read of this author due to a BookTube recommendation; liked it)
A Month in the Country – J.L. Carr (**** same as above; very good short summer read)

Currently reading:

Sense and Sensibility – Jane Austen (reading for Jane Austen July)
Memorial Days – Geraldine Brooks (first read of this author, reading to fulfill a Kindle Challenge, borrowed in Libby)
Complete Stories of Eudora Welty (about halfway through this book which is actually 5 published collections in one volume)

Closing

As always, thank you for reading and hanging in there when I let the grass get too high. I will attempt to post before another month goes by. Blessings!

Yarn Dyeing is Done and a Knitting Update

All the spring yarn dyeing is done. I also have a bit of a knitting update.

Yarn dyeing

We got all of the remaining yarn dyeing done before the winter returned for a bit. It was a challenge to get the drying accomplished in the cold, gray weather. We got it on the lines the day before a small snow storm and frigid temperatures descended on Tennessee.

We are having lovely sunny and warm weather this week. I have had the windows open for the last couple of days. That’s late winter/early spring around here. On Monday we did a custom dye job for a client. It is now wound up and ready for pick up. All of our yarn is likewise labeled and in storage.

I have a couple of festivals coming up in March and I am glad that all the inventory is ready. I do have to focus on one more task. It is one of my least favorite ones; income taxes. UGH! I will probably tackle that today after I finish this post. Wish me luck!

Knitting

Before I get to the taxes, how about a knitting update?

I am monogamously working on the vest design at the moment. As you can see in the photo below, I am almost to the armhole bind off. It would be great if I can finish this up in time for the Middle Tennessee Fiber Festival.

I am already using the third skein of yarn. I am still hoping it will be enough. I hate starting a skein and not using very much of it.

Okay, I will close this short post. Thank you for reading!

Colorful Moments: Yarn Dyeing After Scenic Stitches

The first festival of 2025 is in the books and now it’s yarn dyeing time again.

Scenic Stitches

Our first festival of 2025, Scenic Stitches in Chattanooga, TN was a great experience! I was very impressed with it’s first year. I can see a lot of potential for the future of this festival. There is room for improvements, as is to be expected, but overall a great time was had by all. I am excited to see what they will do for next year.

Yarn Dyeing

As soon as I returned from the festival, I got to work on the spring dyeing. I spent Monday through Friday doing all the preparations and Saturday we got the first day of dyeing done. We were able to put it out to dry on Sunday. It was chilly but it is mostly dry.

On Monday I prepped the yarn and dye we needed for the second day’s dyeing. Today (Tuesday) was unfortunately way to wet, cold, and miserable. That means day two will have to wait. I am hopeful that Wednesday may be a tiny bit improved. If we can get that dyed tomorrow, it can go out on Thursday to dry. Thursday will be cold but not rainy.

We have one more day of dyeing after that which we will have to get done as soon as the weather permits. It’s what you have to expect in February.

Knitting

I haven’t gotten much knitting progress to show. I cast on the front of the vest in Chattanooga. I haven’t had much knitting time, but here is where I am at the moment. I am getting close to the end of my second skein of Classic Merino Superwash Sock yarn. I have the third skein wound and I hope I can finish the whole thing with it.

Posted on February 11, 2025February 11, 2025 by yarnmama — 4 Comments

New Hand-knit Socks and New Yarn

There are new hand-knit socks and some new yarn to show you, so let’s get into it. Since my last post, my knitting time is limited so I only have one item to show you today.

Knitting

I finished my Classic Merino Bamboo socks on Sunday. I used 67g/324 yards of yarn. I enjoyed making up the pattern by using various stitch patterns. I can see this pair being one of my favorites. They are comfy and soft, but the bamboo should make them pretty durable.

Yarn dyeing

The main reason that my knitting time has been limited is that it is yarn dyeing time again.

After I returned from Hoosier Hills Fiber Festival, my yarn arrived from the mill. I planned to do 2-3 new colors and restock the other colors.

I wound some mini skeins of 10g each to do some color samples. The three mini skeins in the right picture are the ones that made the final cut.

I spent the next couple days getting all the dyes mixed and doing other preparations. We divided the work into four dye days.

The week after this, I got all the labels printed and attached. Next, I packed the yarn in the trailer or in the back up inventory boxes in the workroom. Yesterday, I got all the new inventory logged into the system. That included taking pictures of the new colors and marking the discontinued colors on sale.

new yarn colors 2024 — New 2024 Colors Iris, Oregano, and Rose

discontinued yarn colors 2024 — New 2024 Colors Iris, Oregano, and Rose

I am excited about the new colors. They work well with the rest of the palette. I can’t wait to see them on the displays at the next show. I don’t know when I will get a chance to knit any fresh samples using them but hopefully by the fall. I don’t have a way to link to particular colors on the website. The new color names are Iris, Oregano, and Rose. If you select any of the hand dyed yarn bases, you can select those names to view them there.

The colors that are discontinued are also available for 50% off which is $14.50 a skein. The colors on SALE are Cerise, Pewter, and Winter Sky. I love all these colors. It is hard to decide which ones to switch out, but you have to do it periodically to keep everything fresh.

I will close with this and hope to back to work on my sweater or a new shawl in my next post.

Yarn Dyeing is Done and Some Knitting Happened

The rest of the yarn dyeing is done and I managed to make some knitting progress too.

Yarn dyeing

Thursday was set up day, and Friday, and Saturday were the Middle Tennesse Fiber Festival, as I told you in my last post. We had another fabulous show! It was great seeing all the attendees enjoying the day and having a blast.

I took Sunday off to re-cooperate, but we were back out at the dye pots on Monday and Tuesday. We got all of the remaining yarn dyed. We had some wet and windy weather on Monday and early on Tuesday. We were able to work because of the covered area we built but we had to forego drying the yarn until late Tuesday and Wednesday. By yesterday afternoon it was all dry and ready to await labeling.

I spent some of yesterday and today working on labels and updating the inventory. I still love my office space!

Knitting

I got some knitting time while in the booth over the weekend. I tried to work a bit in the evenings too, but some nights I was too exhausted. Nevertheless, I finished the first Glittering Snowscape Sock. I am very happy with the fit. I like lacy socks and these are going to be fun to wear!

The Dora Cardigan is getting so close to the finish line that I am expending all my knitting energy on it. I was not totally sure that the color would show the lace but I like it. It’s the Classic Merino Superwash Sport in Damson Plum.

I am also getting to the part of the pattern that I will be revising. It will be easier than I thought to make the changes I want to make. I may also end up re-knitting part of the other two sizes after I make the changes so that I know they work and to update them to match the revisions. I can unravel the top of the yokes and just re-knit that part I think. That is the plan, anyway.

I think I may have this finished by my next post. See you next time!

Back Home with Knitting and Dyeing Updates

I have been back home from Raleigh, NC for more than a week. I have tried many times to write a blog post with knitting and dyeing updates. Today is the day it worked out.

Carolina Fiber Festival

The festival was wonderful. We had a great turn out as usual and much fun was had by all. I am already looking forward to next year. I am sure I am not alone in being excited about the date shift which will mean we won’t be sharing the fairgrounds with the dog show. It will be nice to have easier parking access in the future.

Knitting

I was pretty busy the festival weekend and since I have been home, so the knitting has been less than I like. I do have some progress to share.

My first Glittering Snowscape Sock is almost done. I only have the toe to knit. I am glad I decided to make these in just a single color of Classic Merino Superwash Sock yarn. I love the look and the textures. The three gradients look nice but it’s more work to change colors and these look fine with less fuss. There will only be two ends to weave in. I love that about socks.

I am about halfway up the lower body of the Dora Cardigan. I haven’t touched it since I got home though. Once I got close to finishing my sock, I gave it all my attention. I am planning to get back to the sweater as soon as the first sock is of the needles.

Yarn Dyeing

I received most of the yarn order I was waiting for on Thursday. I spent the days leading up to that getting the dyes mixed. On Friday, I got all the yarn prepared for a day’s dyeing. Saturday was Day One dye day. We will have two more dyeing days next week.

There are two reasons that we have to delay the rest of the yarn dyeing until next week.

One reason is that we are still waiting for one of the yarn bases to arrive. It is delivering tomorrow. I will get that yarn prepared for dye Day Two when it arrives. I already have all the dyes and the other three bases prepped for that. I would probably be doing that on Thursday and then the Day Three dyeing on Saturday. The reason I can’t do that is because we have a local festival this coming weekend.

We will be at the Middle Tennessee Fiber Festival in Dickson, TN on March 22-23, 2024. On Thursday afternoon I will be setting up the booth. This is a Friday and Saturday show. The hours are 10-4 on Friday and 9-4 on Saturday. We weren’t given our booth numbers yet, but I think I will be in the same place I was last year. If you are in the area, please come say hello!
