All was going well.she had finished knitting the first ball of yarn. Several weeks ago she decided to knit a baby blanket for a future niece/nephew who is due to arrive in late April. She runs a daycare and during her lunch break she runs over for help with her projects. Kristin is a gal in our building who is a new knitter. That was sure nice to hear! We hope you will love this yarn as much as she did! The lady who knit the socks in the photo above said these were the "most beautiful socks" she has ever knit!! Wow. It may take your local shops awhile to get the colors in stock so if you contact your shop for a Special Order don't forget to mention you read this NEW information in our blog!! We don't mind Special orders and we can fill your special order quickly!! We can then send the yarn to your local shop or drop ship it to you if the store isn't nearby. Keep in mind that our Bearfoot yarn takes the color a bit darker than any of the other yarns we have so our pastel Bearfoot is lighter than our other colors but it is not extremely pale!! Knitters have told us they don't mind these lighter highlights so.effective immediately these yarns are available. In the past we did not offer this yarn in the lighter colors as there is a marbled/frosted effect with lighter colors. We ARE listening!! After a large number of requests and much discussion about dyeing techniques we have decided to offer our Bearfoot yarn in ALL of our colorways, including pastels.

If they haven't heard about it yet have them contact us. If you would like to order this exciting new colorway contact your local yarn store and ask them about it. Spring Eclipse is available in all of our yarns. Here is how Barbara described this colorway when she first saw it, "Flares of fuschsia, copper and plum in the shadow of a sapphire night, forest green and teal." How fun is that? If you are interested in reading more of what Barbara wrote see her blog post dated October 5, 2009. That is not the main storyline but we were excited about it anyway!! And all the ladies in this fictitious business are knitters. The main character in this new book has a hand dyed yarn business with her friends. It is such an honor to participate in this project with Barbara!! We have been working with her publicists at Doubleday to make special tags that talk about the book and the yarn. In conjunction with this book we have designed a new Colorway called Spring Eclipse. We are so excited!! Barbara Delinsky, the well known novelist, has a new book called Not My Daughter coming out Jan 5, 2010.
