8 new batt sets

Here's a sneak peek at the latest batch of batts,

which will be hitting the shop tomorrow!

Moonlit Titania

Moonlit Titania batts are in the shop!

I wasn't able to capture the colors as accurately as I usually do. Still trying to get the hang of taking photos in my new space with its different light sources, windows in different places, etc.

I ended up with a lighter blue wool than I originally had in mind. The result is that they're very similar to my Water colorway from the Elements series. Which isn't bad I suppose, just not what I had intended. Moonlit Titania is Merino/Bamboo (Water was Domestic/Mohair/Bamboo) and uses a lighter, more cornflower colored base blue wool. The bamboo is lighter, has some aqua, and uses peach instead of dark gold. So, similar, but not quite the same. Moonlit Titania is also repeatable, whereas Water was a one-time dye job I'll never be able to replicate exactly.

If you'd like some, you can find them here.

Namaste

The great thing about dyeing is that if you're rushed or distracted and don't end up with exactly the beautiful color you were going for -- you end up with a different beautiful color. Then you grab some more wool & dye the color you wanted in the first place, and you end up with twice as much stunningly beautiful wool. It's a low stress job. ;-)

One of my red dyepots took an unexpected swerve into fuchsia this week, resulting in a decidedly Om-like color. So I carded it up with some bright fuchsia, dark purple, and stunning gold bamboo and tencel, and decided to call it Namaste.

Think of it as Om's sophisticated older sister.

Get it here.

Phat Inspiration Photos

This month's Phat Fiber theme is A Midsummer Night's Dream.

I'm going to try a couple hand-dyed silk scarves in the shop.

One similar to the wrap in this photo:

And one similar to the flowing sleeves of Titania's dress in this photo:

My contribution to the box will be batts inspired by a vision in my head of Titania at midnight, standing in the moonlight in a light and dark blue silk dress, with moonbeams setting her pale skin aglow.
