We have received a ridiculous amount of yarn in the past couple weeks, and much of it I know many of you have been waiting for - options for assigned pooling patterns like those of Dawn Barker.

What do we have in the shop for you? First, Dawn Barker's new collaboration with Madelinetosh! She and Tosh came up with four new colorways that work quite nicely with her patterns and you can find them at SSYC! These colors are Seated Ballerina, Marilyn, Comic Book Art and Everyday Objects. We have these colors available on Tosh Merino Light and Tosh Sock so you can do fingering weight projects, and Tosh DK if you want a squishy and thicker DK weight project.
Aren't these all lovely? Shown above and Comic Book Art and Seated Ballerina, and shown below are Marilyn and Everyday Objects (all on Tosh Sock).
Then we have the colors that many of you have been waiting for, the Color Burst Collection from Wonderland Yarns. These are also intended for assigned pooling colors like those of Dawn Barker.
The Color Burst Collection skeins I have right now are on Cheshire Cat (fingering weight 100% superwash merino) and Mary Ann Sock (fingering weight superwash merino/nylon) - I have some colors on each of the bases, so if you don't see the yarn in one line, check the other. It's also worth noting that I show two skeins in one photo and while the skeins might look a bit different, as in you see more of one color in one skein than another, they are the same and look the same in person, they are just twisted slightly differently or show the back of the skein.

I especially like these with Turn it To the Max by Joanne Bint, shown below.
Want a few other pattern ideas? Take a look at Sunrise Sunset in Wishing on Shooting Star, Little Buds in A Brush with Fate or Splashing Through Puddles. Or Glide with Blue Skies & Rainbows.
Are any of the assigned pooling patterns available somewhere besides Ravelry?

How does the assigned pooling yarn look when knitted "normally" ie. stockinette or garter stitch?
