Softest mint with dark chocolate chip speckles - not actually an ice cream, sorry... And pretty much impossible to get a good photo of π€·ββοΈ

Once again, my phone camera does not do this skein justice! It is delicious chocolate brown shot through with russet and ochre tones.

Daniele@curiousjay #4, #5, #6 might be my favorites so far, but they are all beautiful. I hope I will find some yarns as beautiful as yours here, on the other side pf the world :)
And as a beginner knitter, I look forwars to working with something as beautiful as these. Thank you for making me want to knit a lot more :)

@dp Good choices! And glad to have provided some inspiration.
(She does ship internationally, too! And there are amazing dyers all over the place)
@dp Also, if you need knitting support, don't be shy about reaching out.
Always happy to chat yarn and knitting!

@alexvolkpit @dp That is lovely! Beautiful colours π
@curiousjay and here's my first knitware piece ever. An ongoing snood, just as @alexvolkpit :)
@dp @alexvolkpit Oh, that is knitting up beautifully π Go you!!
@curiousjay @dp Here it is! He is knitting at 3:30 in the morning π
I wanted to sleep π π΄π
Actually we should, we have a full day tomorrow: itβs nearly Christmas π
Have a nice day @curiousjay !

@alexvolkpit @dp Sleep is overrated! Especially when there's knitting to do!
It's 3.30pm in the afternoon here in New Zealand - though I do actually want to fall asleep π

@curiousjay Sleep is very important for me! But the current task can always keep going a bit longer, if pleasant π

@curiousjay thanks! πππ @alexvolkpit
@dp Ooh, that is pretty π Love the colour combo! (I love stripey yarn!)
@curiousjay I just looked at https://moonriseyarnco.com/ and although some beautiful skeins are still up there, it looks like you almost emptied the shop! I would have picked the same ones :)
@dp π I have bought a few skeins there, and so has a good friend!
This was a pre-order yarn advent. Keep an eye out in April and October for the next ones! She usually does them for each Solstice.
@curiousjay Oh, lovely, I'll watch out!
