There are many women who dye yarns and try to make a living from this process.  I have seen many colorways of hand-dyed yarn that I would love to purchase.   Today, I am going to talk to you about Jennifer from[tag] Dreamscape Threads[/tag].

Jennifer is an illustrator/designer by trade with a concentration in painting and weaving. That must explain how she arrives at her beautiful color combinations.

This coloration is THE MOTHER EARTH COLLECTION – Fire – Lava flow on Etna.   The colors are taken from a picture of the lava flow on Etna, Sicily, Italy. The colors of deep, dark blackish blues and firey reds make this sock weight yarn pop!

There are several other color combinations  in this collection that are just as stunning.

Then there is her birthstone collection.  Gorgeous col orations showcasing the jewel colors of each months birthstone ranging from the hot  red of a July Ruby birthstone to the cool colors of  the February Pearl.  You will not be disappointed.  Jennifer’s yarns are 75% Superwash Wool, 25% Nylon for durability, approximately 450 yards–enough to knit an average size adult pair of socks using a Gauge: 28-30 stitches/4 inches with a needle size of  2.5-3.0 mm / US 1-2.  As with all superwash Wool, hand or machine wash gentle-cold; lay flat to dry.

Jennifer also has a blog[tag] Good Coffee, Puppies and Knitting[/tag] where she talks of her life:  coffee, her dogs and of course, Knitting.
