As you can probably guess, February is Valentine's month so I was totally inspired to do a colourway based on my two favourite things for this month - chocolate and roses. In making a semi-solid to incorporate both these colours, I tried out a new dyeing technique and am quite happy with the results achieved. This technique gives me the opportunity to do a semi-solid with more than one colour tone. Anxious to see how this one knits up for everyone...hope you are enjoying it! The colourway is called "Be Mine" and the base yarn is our Serenity sock yarn made of 80% superwash merino, 10% cashmere and 10% nylon. Roses & chocolate definitely have to go with cashmere :-)

February's "Teaser"
This month's colourway was a fun one! I got a chance to try out a new dyeing technique and I'm really pleased with the results. The colours I was inspired to do this month are themed on Valentine's Day and combine my favourites for this month - chocolate and roses. It does look like there are many colours in the skein from the teaser but they still are a semi-solid with a play on a few more colours than I usually do. Hope you like it! Everything mails today! :-)
