NEW! Dyeguy is trying out some new techniques and here's one of the first out of the kettle. Deep denim blue and bubblegum pink collide in places, giving tinges of plum and violet. There is a basic colour change about every 12 inches with random overlays and splashes for a sort-of-repeats-but-not-quite effect.

Lace Time Natural – 1-Lb Value Pack
100% Superwash Merino wool. Lace weight, 2-ply.
Approximately 115g (4.06 oz), 885m (968yd).
Gauge: because of the open work in lace knitting, gauge is seldom given for lace weight yarns. Follow your pattern recommendations for best results.
Laundering: Machine wash cool, tumble dry on low, hang or dry flat.
The same base yarn we use for our Lace Time™ line. The spin is smooth and soft. While at first it might seem strange to choose Superwash Merino for a fine lace shawl, it's a good choice if you are knitting for others and don't know about their laundering decisions. Because of the superwash wool this is not suitable for felting.
This yarn takes dye beautifully, whether you are using acid dyes, food colouring, Kool-aid or even natural dyes. Just bear in mind that Superwash yarn strikes with acid dyes so quickly that it can be very tricky to get a decent solid tone. Use that to your advantage like we do, to get interesting semi-solids or go crazy with hand painting. We highly recommend this yarn to first-time dyers!

Socky-Talky Corn-on-the-cob
Price is per skein, approximately 115g (4.06 oz), 389m (426yd). 80% Superwash Merino / 20% Nylon.
NEW! Like Niagara's famous "Peaches and Cream" corn, this yarn has almost equal portions of ivory-cream and bright yellow, with steaks of lemon, eggyolk and white. There is a colour change every 12 inches or so, but random layers on top of that for a "sort-of-repeats-but-not-quite" effect.

Flaxen Silk Natural – 1-Lb Value Pack
65% Silk / 35% Linen. Lace weight, 2-ply.
Approximately 115g (4.06 oz), 691m (756yd).
Gauge: because of the open work in lace knitting, gauge is seldom given for lace weight yarns. Follow your pattern recommendations for best results.
Laundering: Handwash cool, dry flat.
John has only played around with this base a couple of times. It has a linen feel to the hand but with some lustre from the silk, in an ivory-beige shade. A good choice for summer shawls or other non-wool lace projects. The natural colour is a greyed ivory.
Fibre reactive dyes might be the best choice for this yarn, but we've also tried acid dyes with good results. Just bear in mind that the linen component will not strike with the dye, so copious rinsing will have to be done. We found this needs a couple of days to hang and dry thoroughly before reskeining or winding, or it has a tendency to snag on the swift and break.
