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.

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. 🧶

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.

I have learned, however, that monthly clubs are overwhelming for me. Plus, I’m vending at more fiber fests this year than I ever have, so I don’t really have the capacity to commit to something monthly. Because of this, quarterly seemed like the perfect timing for me right now. And honestly? This is something I’ve dreamed about doing for a few years now. So why not 2026?"

I can’t even say that they’ll all have 6 colors! Some may have more or less. It all just depends on how I’m feeling that season. I’m using these palettes as a creative outlet to express the season on yarn. Sometimes I might bring back older colorways (like the tonals for Winter) and sometimes there will be brand new colors (like the variegated for Winter)!

It feels weird and wrong to be promoting my business right now. Unfortunately, we all exist under capitalism and must keep working to live.

But since I haven't said anything explicitly on this platform, I just want to make it clear that I am horrified by what the current administration is doing.

❄️ THE WINTER PALETTE ❄️

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. This particular yarn base has white neps, making it look like snowflakes have fallen on the yarn. From left to right the yarn is light tan, grey, lighter blue, amd darker blue. Five mini skeins of hand dyed yarn are situated inside a circle of five open hanks of solid yarn. These five mini skeins make up the Heathered Handmades Winter Palette Tonals Mini Set.

Whew. C2C crochet with this many color changes is a real test of patience! lol I am hoping to add a dowel to this to make it a wall hanging as a gift. #crochet #c2c #handmadegift

This also fills the #CrochetAway prompt!

Free pattern (I just made the front panel): www.popsdemilk.com/blog/c2c-cas...
A flat crochet piece that looks like a cassette tape. It has dark gray along the outside. Four + signs, one in each corner, made of a lighter gray. A big white rectangle-ish shape in the middle with two black stripes at the top and the middle circles where the tape would move around. There are also 5 short stripes on either side of the circles top down: lavender, yellow, light green, red, blue. The bottom center of the piece is another light gray shape that is bigger on the bottom than the top.

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.
