“Treliske” means “a place of trees” and is a certified organic farm in New Zealand that produces the softest and squishiest merino yarn and fleeces. It is the perfect yarn base for Knitspirations’ latest colourways.

“Wattle Grove” is a subtle hand painted skein.  8ply, organic merino, gentle citrus tones. Mmm! “Wattle Grove” weighs approximately 100g.

Gradient dyed yarn is now available at Knitspirations, and they’re organic merino! Oh my!

Gradient dyed yarns are dyed in such a way as to produce a gradual variation in colour. It is a lengthy process which creates stunning results.

Each yarn cake weighs approximately 100grams, is 8ply/DK weight and knits to an approximate tension of 22sts/30rows over 4 inches using 4mm needles.

Introducing…

Watermelon Ice” – a refreshing gradient colourway that would be perfect for a pretty knitted piece.

“Key Lime Pie” – just like it’s variegated friend above, this colour way has subtle citrus tones. This yarn cake has one join in it and therefore is offered with free postage.

“Winter Rose” – this unique colourway begins as a subtle jade green, gradually changes to an icy mid blue and progresses into a warm red/purple.

These yarns will be listed on my Ozebaby store over the weekend of 25/26 April 2009. At the same time, all other yarns will be on sale at 15% off. Don’t miss this great opportunity to bag yourself a OOAK colourway and a bargain at the same time!

The lovely Kylie recently bought my “Seashells” colourway from Ozebaby and passed on some photos of her finished project. She did such a beautiful job on her son’s longies and I was so happy with how the colourway knitted up for her.
