Currently in the dye pots...
While I don't ever try to replicate shades exactly from batch to batch (my dye recipes are definitely more affected by artistic temperament mood and dyeing conditions than reliant on exact measurements - and frankly repeating identical shades over and over would be boring) the shades that I consider 'repeatable' always contain the same essential hues and the same overall effect but exact colour placement, intensity, and the way the tones and hues blend together will vary from batch to batch.
Every batch of our ready-to-ship repeatable shades is photographed, so unless it's being dyed-to-order, you will be purchasing yarn from the photo you see in the product listing.
Shades within products are often tagged ~flash~, ~fluid~, or ~core~. This makes it easier for you to imagine how the yarn will knit into fabric.
~flash~ shades are 'space-dyed' meaning they have bands of colour around the skein and the (often high-contrast) 'flash' will pop through your knitting fairly regularly, and be fairly evenly spaced, which means it may pool, 'flash', or even stripe, depending on your gauge.
~fluid~ shades have the dye applied in layers and in a much more free-range way so they create fabric with much more subtle variegation and are much less likely to pool/flash at most gauges.
Shades marked ~core~ are semi-solid, tonal shades that have variation in hue, or depth of shade within a narrower colour range.
This page shows shades that are in stock on one or more yarn bases, or are available dyed-to-order. Click on a shade to see all the current options...

midsummer – dog rose days -
midsummer – out of the blue -
midsummer – still life -
midsummer – the longest moment -
midsummer – the last gasp -
between the lines -
in spite of it all -
my own reflection -
the shifting light -
then & now -
from one place to another -
nothing but silence -
a stone's throw -
beneath a velvet cloak -
the lights are dancing -
a tempting fate -
as time unfolds -
the starlit horizon -
those that remain -
deep among the roots -
and still I run -
the birds are calling -
until the bitter end -
the heat of a moment -
where poppies dance -
in a sky-blue moment -
I close my eyes -
the memory of summer -
say the magic spell -
a brilliant reflection -
it was a flower once -
between the last light -
a familiar song returned -
wandering towards the dark -
rose-pure clouds -
somehow distant still -
and then it's gone -
of untold stories -
soaring into orbit -
faded like the flower -
an ancient symmetry -
the river runs still -
to distant shores -
cast in bronze -
just beyond our reach -
the tangled understory -
collecting memories -
a sound so sweet -
the language of dreams -
I wish we were butterflies -
whispering to the wind -
between the realms -
summer's tarnished air -
into an inky darkling -
the shadows whispering -
all the things we'll never see -
spun from memories & dreams -
the space between things -
this vanishing earth -
an accidentally indigo glimpse -
against the stream of time -
russet-kissed, this faded rose -
held by a beautiful thread -
of a thousand moments -
among the wild meadow flowers -
some enchanter's wand -
an ebbing tide revealed -
a thousand paths -
a promise kept -
the burden of dreams -
reflections from the depths -
but this golden earth sustains us -
we walk the jewel-glimmered path -
in so many moments -
the earth a brittle globe -
to leave nothing but footprints -
in dawn's first hush -
a memory cracked open -
a labyrinth of whispers -
one day the earth will be... -
walk out to gather -
slow burn -
an accidental glimpse -
the flicker of time -
if on a winter's night -
her love arrived at dusk -
the essence of first light -
I have eaten the plums -
in the middle sea -
rose petal skies -
all I loved you for -
take a breath -
these blissful moments -
to catch up with the sun -
to fill a life with fire -
each one holds a secret -
full fathom fire -
broken halo -
drying their wings -
a whisper woven through it
