February NewsI am ready for Spring. My enthusiasm for long chilly hikes with the dogs and horseback rides in fresh snow has dwindled. Shoveling the driveway, lugging firewood and knitting with numb fingers seems to be all I do now. I am done!
Join me in pretending Winter is over, won't you? I'm welcoming 5 fresh new colors of Balance Bulky! My absolutely favorite is Igneous. The cotton and wool took the dye so differently and I find the subsequent depth of color irresistible. At long last, there are some sophisticated colors to add to the bright, fun, existing palette. Click here to check out entire collection!

Springtime Picholine Hat
While we're pretending it's Spring, I've reworked the Picholine hat into a "Springtime" version. It incorporates eyelets along the spiral for a fun, new take on this Ravelry favorite. It takes just one skein of Balance Bulky, and it's a free download here. For the sample, I used the lovely spring green Peridot, but I think it's a great excuse to try one of the new colors...

Hello Joyce Tunney, I just want to say how much I admire your line of yarns for your focus on North American and organic fibers, as well as the use of natural dyes on the balance bulky yarn. Your pricing is also admirable, making hand-dyed and naturally dyed yarns accessible to the knitter who is watching his or her budget. Best Wishes, Sharon
Love your patterns and Yarn! Beautiful place you have here!
I picked up some of the Bulky in Sulfur this morning — just couldn’t resist the brightness of the color! I can’t wait to see your yarn in person (I got shade cards, too!)
