In Stock: Summer-Inspired Serendipity Stripes — Flowers in My Yard

Serendipity Stripes are non-repeatable colorways dyed in limited quantities. They’re a chance for me to have some low-pressure fun in the studio! The serendipity factor in these items is that you’ll know what colors are in the skein you’re ordering, but the striping pattern will be a surprise as you work with it. Note too that there may be differences in some striping patterns between bases offered for this batch of colorways, so please read the listings fully so you know what you’re ordering as much as is possible with serendipity colorways!

This current batch is a little different than my usual serendipity colorways, as they are all inspired by some of my favorite summertime pictures, which are also included in the listing. Because of these inspirations, I’ve given these colorways names, which I don’t usually do for serendipity colorways. I hope you’ll enjoy these summery offerings!

Flowers in My Yard is a five-stripe colorway inspired by the flowers we have here in our yard at the mountain house most summers. Sunflowers and day lilies are my favorites! Stripe colors include Buttercup Yellow, Dark Brown, Ember, Lime, and Earthenware Red. The inset in the first picture and the fourth gallery image show the photos that inspired this colorway. Note that while both bases for this colorway are five-stripe configurations, they stripe in slightly different patterns, which is what accounts for the difference in how their colors present in the skein. If you were to buy one of each, they will not stripe in the same way.

Flowers in My Yard is available in-stock on the following bases:

Bounce – fingering, 80/20 SW Merino/Nylon, 400 yd/100-gm
**Strong DK – DK, 75/25 SW Merino/Nylon, 245 yd/100-gm

**Note that in the Strong DK skeins, a small amount of Lime dye accidentally got into the Buttercup stripe area, so there will be spots of green in a few small areas of the yellow. I’m offering these skeins at a 15% discount for this reason. 

Optional add-on mini: You can choose to add a 20-gm Ember orange mini skein (shown in the third image) to your order for a flat fee of $3.50.

Recommended care: Though these are superwash wools and can be machine washed, we recommend hand washing in cool water and then air dry flat.

All of our yarns and fibers are individually hand-dyed using professional grade acid dyes. Colorway names are consistent between yarns/fibers dyed with the same dye colors, however color can (and likely will) vary between skeins and between different bases.

We make every effort to assure the colors in our photos are as accurate as possible, but please note that colors can vary from monitor to monitor.
