White Tweed, are you ready for your closeup? 📸 White Tweed deserves some more love, so I thought I'd share this shot of Comfy Pants today. I think all of the colors look great on White Tweed (can you imagine a Douglas Cardi with them??), but Comfy Pants is especially nice. 🧶 1/2

Hey, fiber friends! I wanted to explain a bit more about the Seasonal Palettes so you know what to expect this year. Swipe thru to read each slide. If you have any questions, please let me know! --- The Winter Palette is available dyed to order NOW thru February 28th. 🧶

A graphic information page. The background is 6 open skeins of hand dyed yarn are laid across a white backdrop. At the top of the graphic, superimposed on top of the yarn is a white rectangle that says "For your information: SEASONAL PALETTES."

In the middle of the graphic is a large rectangle full of text. The text reads:
"Seasonal Palettes is a new type of endeavor for me, so I want to take some time to explain some of my thoughts behind why these quarterly palettes will work the way they do.

---

Why is each palette dyed to order for about a month and a half?
I want you to have time to make decisions!

I want you to have time to make a thoughtful decision and not feel rushed. I never want you to feel pressured or fear not being able to get what you want. Take your time, fiber friends. <3"

Below the main rectangle is a white arrow pointing to the right, indicating the viewer should swipe to the next image. Lastly, below the arrow are the same five colored squares with white outlines, meant to look like paint swatches.

I am a "radical left lunatic" as some people would say. I don't hide that. In fact, below is a screenshot from the "About Me" page on my website. I shared this all (slightly modified) on my IG Stories the other day. But it definitely needed to be shared here as well. 🧶

Black text centered on a white background. The text reads: "Black Lives Matter. Trans rights are human rights. Love is love. Climate change is real. Science is important. Abortion is healthcare."

Four skeins of hand dyed yarn laid across five open hanks of solid yarn. These four skeins are the colorways available in the Heathered Handmades Winter Palette on White Tweed Sock.

🍀 GOOD LUCK BEAR 🍀 I think this may be my favorite thing I've ever made with my yarn. 😂 There's just something so delightful about having a crochet Good Luck Bear sitting on my shelf. I used the Care Bears amigurumi pattern from Pumpi Crochet on Etsy to make my Good Luck Bear. 🧶 1/4

🤍 LEITH CARDIGAN 🤍 It's been a *hot minute* since I've taken sample photos... so I was very much feeling the "what do I do with my hands?!" 😅 Hence the very goofy first photo. 😂 But it does show off all 4 contrast colors nicely, so I'm not mad about it. 🧶 1/6

🩷🧡💛 MINI SETS 💚🩵💜 You didn't think I'd do a collection with 22 tonals without making mini sets, right?? There's just something so satisfying about a little rainbow of yarn, isn't there? I couldn't pass up the opportunity to make rainbow sets! And why stop at one when you can have TWO? 🧶 1/5

Photo depicts a set of mini skeins compromised of 6 different colors of yarn. One set is unlabeled and laid out in the middle so you can easily see all 6 colors. These are bright, vibrant colors to make up a rainbow. In the four corners of the photo are labeled versions of the same set.

In the bottom left corner, there is black text on a white background that reads "Bright Rainbow Set."

🧦 VARIEGATED SOCK SETS 🧦 Creating sock sets for each variegated colorway was so much fun! I don't usually do variegated for minis, but I *knew* that Spring Toy & Night Light had to be paired together. Especially for Night Light on Neon Tweed Sock! It's just too perfect! 🧶 1/2

Five sock sets lined up in a diagonal on a marble counter. Each of the full skeins of yarn are variegated colorways. The colors range from a pastel rainbow to a deep blue-black.

Standard Sock has been with me for awhile now. I love that this base uses recycled nylon. I know a lot of you sock knitters are committed to having nylon in your socks, and I'm so glad I'm able to offer a base that makes my eco-conscious heart beat a little bit easier. 🧶 5/10

Silky Bouclé. Oh goodness, how can I convey to you how fabulous this yarn is? The moment I touched this base for the first time, I knew I wanted to carry it. I had always been nervous about bouclé yarns, because I just couldn't tell through a computer screen what they'd feel like. 🧶 3/10

Cotton Fluff Worsted is a blown yarn! The core of the yarn is a chainette cotton and non-superwash merino wool is blown into it. Since the cotton core doesn't absorb the acid dyes I use, it creates this very cool halo effect - almost like the yarn is glowing. 🧶 2/10

🌈 SPRING TOY 🌈 Who DIDN'T have at least one slinky growing up?? Spring Toy is inspired by the many rainbow slinkys (probably off-brand, honestly) that I had as a kid. I mean... c'mon, who didn't love those things? Nothing quite compares to watching them walk down the stairs on their own! 🧶 1/2
