Candy Skein- New Yummy and Delicious yarn

Hi everyone!! If you missed it on Wednesday, I announced that I will be posting new Candy Skein yarn now on Thursdays instead of Mondays. It works better for my schedule and I want to balance everything to make Candy Skein better and grow it to awesomeness. :)

Before I share this week's yarn, I want to let you all know that I will be making a few big announcements next week, including the new KAL coming up that will start in October. Stay tuned for that!

Now onto the new yarn! I have a new colorway that I LOVE, Royal Rock Candy. If you'd like to see more pictures of any of these yarns, please visit the Candy Skein website, and choose either Delicious lace, Delicious fingering or Yummy fingering.

Candy Skein- New Yummy and Delicious Fingering

Hi all! I had SUCH a great weekend, and I hope you did, too. I have quite a bit of yarn to share with you today, so I'm going to keep the introduction short. Today I'm sharing the Delicious Fingering and Yummy fingering that I dyed last week. There are new kettle dyed colorways, as well as hand painted. I also dyed 3 skeins of Yummy fingering in Blackberry in the same dye lot, as it's a very popular colorway. Also, this would be enough to do a large knitted/crocheted item like a sweater.

If you'd like to see more pictures of a certain skein, please click on the "buy" button. This will just take you to the Candy Skein Artfire page, and will not automatically take you to a buy page.

Candy Skein- New Yummy Fingering Weight

I hope everyone had a great weekend. We relaxed, as my husband still wasn't feeling well. I was going to work on my skirt more, but, if you've read Sunday's post, you know that didn't happen. I did start something new, which you'll see on Wednesday.

This week I decided I would share the new yarn for this week a day early with the blog. I have several skeins of Yummy fingering to share, in a few new colorways and a couple are hand painted! Since most of the Autumn magazines are out, I thought I would come up with a few Autumn/Fall colorways to get us all in the mood. There will be many more coming as well, as I just ordered 5 kilos of yarn in a mix of weights/fibers. That's 50 new skeins, not counting the ones I'm going to show you today (and I have a few left over that still need to be dyed as well).

Anyway, because I have a lot to share, I'll just get right to it. I won't be posting all 3 pictures like I normally do of each, due to the amount I have to post, but if you want to check out all the pics, you can either click the "available at Candy Skein" link under each (which takes you to my Artfire site), or you can visit the Candy Skein website.

Candy Skein- Yummy Worsted Weight & More!

Hi everyone! I hope you had a great weekend! I know I did. I have pictures to share, and if you're a Doctor Who fan, you should check back this week (not sure when I'll post the pics)...hint hint.

I only have a few skeins of worsted to show you today, one set was a custom dye for Alea for the Candy Skein KAL that starts August 1st. The other is two skeins of the same dye lot of Brain Freeze, which is for sale.

The next few weeks/months will bring big things for Candy Skein. Some of them I can't share yet, but I can share that I have ordered a HUGE order of yarn that will be arriving for dyeing in about a month. I will have two new lines of yarn, one is a surprise, that I will share at a later date, and the other is the Ripening series. You may remember how I dyed a skein of Yummy DK awhile ago. I plan to have a line of yarn of dyed skeins just like that one, in many different colors. The base won't be Yummy DK, but something fun and exciting I can't wait to share with you (but I will say it is DK weight).

I received 10 skeins of Yummy Fingering weight yesterday, so if you are interested in a custom dye, please let me know. I will be dyeing several of these this week, and will share them with you next week!

That's it for now, time to share this week's new skeins:



This was a custom dye for Alea. She requested three skeins of Blueberry Sorbet in Yummy worsted weight. I dyed them a little darker than normal, as she liked the dark blue portions of the normal Blueberry Sorbet dye lot. I really like how they came out!








Next up I have two skeins (from the same dye lot) of Yummy worsted in Brain Freeze.

Colorway: Brain Freeze
Series: Yummy
Fiber content: 100% Merino Wool Superwash
Weight: Worsted/10 ply
Yardage: 220 yards

Candy Skein- Yummy and Delicious Fingering weight yarn!

I hope everyone had a great weekend. I saw Harry Potter and I think they did a great job wrapping up the series on screen. I will say, I was hoping they'd leave the epilogue out of the movie. I try and pretend that doesn't exist. LOL Thanks to everyone for sharing their thoughts about Harry and the whole series/movies on Friday in the comments. I loved reading them.


Back to yarn. I have a few skeins to share this week, but not many. I also have one un-dyed Yummy fingering left if anyone is interested in a custom dye in the next week or so, as well as 2 skeins of Yummy worsted I plan to dye this week. I will be getting a full box of Yummy fingering next Monday, but they won't be dyed until that week, shared with you the week after.

Also, don't forget the Candy Skein shawl KAL/CAL coming up August 1-September 15th. You're free to pick your pattern and join along. The only requirement is that the pattern be a shawl and you use Candy Skein yarn.

Candy Skein- Fingering weight is here!

I have been on a dyeing frenzy again, which has been so much fun. The only downside? It is HOT when I have the pots going, especially a few at the same time. I don't have air conditioning, so you can just imagine. Luckily, it's been in the mid 80's so not TOO hot, but still not so much fun as far as that's concerned.

I wanted to get as much fingering weight available to you all due to awesomeness that is going on in the Candy Skein Ravelry group! We'll be doing a KAL/CAL starting August 1st and ending Sept 15th. We'll be making shawls (any pattern you'd like), using Candy Skein yarn. So, if you have a hank of Candy Skein around, or have been thinking of purchasing some and you'd love to join along, just let us know in this thread! Also, order now, and I can mail the yarn out to you right away so you have it in time for the fun. You can also contact me for a custom color you'd like in fingering weight. Please email me or post a comment ASAP so I can make sure I have the un-dyed yarn available for you.

I will probably be attempting the Springtime Bandit, but have yet to pick my colorway, but I will be using Delicious fingering weight. Anyone have suggestions on color?

Now onto today's new skeins!

This week, I have two different types of yarn. First off is Yummy Fingering weight (more to come next week, too!), which this time around is 75% Falkland British Merino, 25% Nylon. Next, I have a few skeins of Delicious Fingering available (more to come next week, as well!) which is like it's lace weight sister, 70% baby alpaca, 20% silk, 10% cashmere. This is a light fingering in gauge.

Due to the amount I'm sharing, I will be only posting the close up picture of each. Please visit Candy Skein for all pictures of each hank.
