BISON/MERINO Yarn!!

Yes you read that right.  We will have a new line this year.  It is a Merino/Bison yarn.

It is so lovely and I can't wait for everyone to see it.  I have been told that I should be getting it in on Monday.  So I am keeping my fingers crossed.  It will be dyed and I will also have some just natural for those that would like it in it's pure form. 

Bison is an amazing fiber it is compared to cashmere and the more it is washed and handled the softer it gets!  Not to mention WARM and water wicking ability.  It is just lovely any way that you look at it. 

I will have it for Hoosier Hills this year, so be sure to stop in and get your skeins before they are gone and I have to order more for the next show.  This is sure to fly off the shelves.

If there is a colorway that you would like for me to dye for you I can do that and have it ready for you.  It will be priced at $17/200yds.  If you want a skein of more than that I can do that as well just let me know and I can get you a price for it. 

I am super excited about this yarn.  I will also have a Bison/Silk blend sample yarn there for people to touch.  I am not sure on price yet as I am waiting on that, but it is sooo nice and I will be taking pre-orders for it as well.

Now I just wait for the yarn to get here.......

I promise photos when it arrives. :)

Knitted to a T - Explained

I know that some of you have been wondering where the name I used for Ravelry "Knitted to a T" came from. Well I am now going to let you in on it.

It all started about a year ago. I had some graphics made up for some things that I was selling on Etsy and for items that I was giving as gifts. I had 2 different ones. The first one I used for my Etsy store at the time. (The 4 sheep "Knits for Ewe") The second one I had some big plans for. (Knitted to a T) It has been a long time in the making. Scraping up money to get things done, moving into a new house, Kevin wanting to finish out part of the basement and so on.

Finally things have been falling into place and I can't keep the secret any longer. I have wanted to tell you all for such a long time, but didn't want to say anything until I had things set in stone better.

I would like to introduce you to Knitted to a T yarns!! Squeeeee!!! I am so excited!!!!

I am currently making self striping yarns and will have them in Kona Merino Fingering & DK, Bamboo/Merino/Nylon Fingering and BFL Fingering!! I will also have some rovings as well. Currently I have Merino SW, BFL SW and BFL that need to be dyed up. They will be dyed in 4oz bundles, so there will be a good amount to spin.

I am currently working on a web site as well. Hopefully it will be ready not too far down the road. I have some fun planned for the web site as well. I want to give my first customer to the site a prize as well as my 50th customer (can be a repeat customer) and 50th new customer, etc. I will keep you all in the loop and let you know when I launch the site.

Below are some examples of what I have been dyeing.

Here is a final shot of some more yarn drying. Oh I have so much more to show you all. I hope to have more dyed up tomorrow while James takes a nap, but you all know how a toddler can change your plans. ;)


Have a lovely weekend. I have a birthday party to go to on Saturday, but I plan to dye as much as I can. :)

*50% of all sale proffits of Angela go to my cousin. She is battling kidney cancer with 3 young kids and a husband. She does have insurance, but they are refusing to pay for most of her treatment. This is my way to help her and her family.
