It's that rare weekend post simply because the newest Dream Club has started! This six-month club from Dream in Color brings us a limited edition colorway and complimentary pattern each month on the 1st (December there is no selection). So from Sept through March you can purchase each color as you see it- no need to enroll and pay for everything up front- you simply buy that months skein if it's something that tickles your fancy. The colors often sell out within a day, but I think I ordered enough so that it lasts a few days.
This selection is Baby, a 700 yard/4 ounce skein of lace weight superwash merino. It's a nice choice for lace because it's not webby or too delicate. And the patterns that come with this skein (just e-mail after your order to have those e-mailed back to you) are the Twilight Accessories- cuff, cowl and hat. All made with just one skein of this colorway. Keep in mind that the picture above accurately represents that skeins I have for you- a deep periwinkle painted with violet and dusky plum. The images below are from Dream in Color and they aren't spot-on. The designs are lovely, aren't they? I think this would make a wonderful gift set for someone for a birthday or Christmas!
Yippee! This is the color combination I've been looking for in lace-weight--and the accessories I want to knit for a friend! I always love the DIC club-- thank you!
