Facebook pre-sale up and running! Here's what I decided on:
Orders will be accepted through next Wed, Aug 29. Depending on how many skeins are ordered, the expected completion date will be approx 4 weeks from then. Unlimited colorways are allowed. Unlimited trim skeins per colorway allowed. All colorways from the gallery are included and I am also open to custom colorways (to match a fabric or outfit, your choice). As always the only exclusion is that I will not knowingly duplicate another indie dyer's colorway.
And here's the kicker! Increasing discount, the more that you order (not including trim skeins). 1-2 skeins = regular price. 3-5 skeins = 10% discount. 6-8 skeins = 15% discount. 9+ skeins = 20% discount.
Bases available:
Cassiopeia Merino (3.5 oz) - My "house" 4-ply worsted merino. Both soft and sturdy, it wears like iron and stands up to busy toddlers well. 4 st/in on size 7 needles, approx 248 yd. Hand wash cool, dry flat. $18.00
Cassiopeia Merino Super Wash (3.5 oz)- Just like my "house" 4-ply merino but in machine-washable super wash! Great for sweaters and easy-care garments, but not a good choice for diapering wool. 4 st/in on size 7 needles, approx 248 yd. Machine wash gentle cycle, tumble dry low or lay flat to dry. $19.00
Licorice Twist Merino (4 oz) - Soft 4-ply light worsted/DK weight yarn. One of the plies takes dye differently than the other 3, making a variegated appearance to the colors. Some colors show this variation more vividly than others. 4.5 st/in on size needles, approx 280 yd.. Hand wash cool, dry flat. $20.00
Gaia Worsted Merino (4 oz) - Buttery soft light worsted/DK weight yarn, certified organic. Perfect for infant wear! 4.5 st/in on size 7 needles, approx 280 yd. Hand wash cool, dry flat. $20.00
Gaia Bulky Merino (4 oz) - The same buttery soft fiber as Gaia Worsted, but in a plush bulky weight. 3-4 st/in on size 10 needles, approx 153 yd. Hand wash cool, dry flat. $20.00
British BFL (3.5 oz) - British Blue Face Leicester wool, aran weight. Softness and a beautiful sheen matched by no other wool. Perfect for infant wear! 5 st/in on size 8 needles, approx 206 yd. $19.00

MCN Aran (3.5 oz) - Aran weight, 3-ply blend of 80% superwash Merino, 10% cashmere and 10% nylon for added strength. 3.5 oz, approx 181 yd. 5 st/in on size 9 needles. $21.00
