YARN: 
Salsa Monkey Worsted Weight Yarn: 100% Superwash Merino 100g/218 yards 
This yarn is soft, durable and felt-able. Perfect for just about anything - this one is a straight up work horse with pleasurable hand.

“Casual Fridays” is a denim blue, reminiscent of the kind of denim jeans you can get away with at work on Fridays - new, no holes, but still obviously a comfortable denim jean. This yarn is kettle dyed and features tonal variations.

“Bittersweet” is a golden brown, reminiscent of bittersweet dark chocolate with very subtle creamy golden undertones. This is NOT milk chocolate or even “brown” per se - this is coffee/mocha/cocoa.. This yarn is kettle dyed and features tonal variations.

PATTERN: 
“Carved perfect turns in fresh powder with friends all day, and now you’re recapping the thrills and trying not to spill your pint at the local microbrewery. Yeah, you took a wicked header and they all laughed, but you’re laughing last… they’re buying and you’re looking cool in this hat.”

Sizes: 
Unisex – Will fit head 20-25”

Kit quantities are limited. Yarn and pattern will not be available for purchase again until March 2016.

Dyeing for Fall!!

Autumn is fast approaching. It has always been my favorite time of year. I love the smells - crisp morning air, rain, school supplies, yarn, fresh split logs for the fire, bread... all the things that come with the return to school days and the preparation for colder weather. I also love all the colors, especially the changing of the leaves.

Ferndale Shawl in Twist Monkey "Old Money"
This year I'm hard at work preparing a dye-namic explosion of yarn choices for you. There are new yarn bases, which I wrote about before, and some fun new colors. There are also a couple of exciting new kits on the way - the first of which will be the second edition of the Signature Series. This kit includes the Ferndale Shawl pattern, two (2) skeins of Twist Monkey in "Old Money" and a coordinating project bin in exclusive cooperation with Harbor House Baskets - a very luxurious kit indeed! This kit is available in very limited quantities, so you'll want to move fast once they go on sale. If you'd like to make an early reservation, either contact me on Ravelry in the Dye Monkey Yarns Group or email me directly. Early reservations get first notification when kits go on sale, prior to public announcement.
