"MV Quahog" Hand-dyed 100% Alpaca Yarn
Martha's Vineyard "stuffies", aka stuffed quahogs, have become a regular staple of our diet since we began spending our winters here. The color inside their shells is entrancing, and has inspired me to try to replicate them in the yarn that I dye, and as you look through "Our Store" you will find a few hand knit items for sale as part of my new "MV Quahog Collection".

This is one of the softest yarns I have worked with. It is 100% alpaca that is under 20 microns, so best for the most skin-sensitive projects. Although alpaca is known for its tensile strength, this fingering weight yarn is definitely NOT suited as a sock yarn. Match it with the cream yarn that is available below, or use it on its own -- you will LOVE knitting it up as much as you love wearing it.

It has been spun into a 3-ply fingering-weight yarn, with approximately 239 yds/1.5 oz. Recommended needles are US 1-3 for 27-32 stitches per 4 inches.

Dream Spun "Galaxy" -- Hand-dyed
The magic of dyeing is I often have no idea what the yarns will look like. Who knew that sprinkling Greener Shades non-toxic powders in Midnight Black, River Blue, and Sunshine Yellow on 100% natural creamy alpaca could create such a variety of color? It reminds me of enhanced photos of Galaxies far, far away.

We spun 100% ultrafine (grade 1) long-stapled alpaca to create the most scrumptiously delightful yarn that will be ideal for shawls, cowls, hats, and scarves -- or any lightly used garments and accessories. While alpaca is revered for its tensile strength, these fibers are very, very fine. NB: This is NOT a sock yarn.

"MV Quahog" Dyed Wool/Alpaca/Silk Blend Yarn
We have thoroughly enjoyed our last few winters here on Martha's Vineyard, and to celebrate our return, I dyed some of my yarn to match the iconic color of the inside of the quahog clam. Quahogs are used by cooks to make "stuffies" (chopped clams with breadcrumbs, herbs and spices, baked in the shell) and by artisans to create jewelry, often referred to as "wampum" by the Natives. The earrings pictured are cut by my friend, Sherri, of Clammer Creations here on MV -- check out her Facebook page for lots more!

"Swing Knitting" Tote
Several years ago at a yarn trade show, I learned about "swing knitting". Using short rows and garter stitch, all sorts of swirly designs may be created, giving the finished piece a stained glass effect. What fun I had dyeing the yarn, swooping here and swirling there, and then finishing the tote by fulling (aka felting) it in the washing machine.

Approximately 11.5" tall x 10" wide x 7" deep.

100% natural black alpaca spun in Waldoboro, ME. Hand-dyed 50% alpaca/50% wool yarn spun in Harrisville, NH.

The blend of 60% Alpaca/30% Wool/10% Tencel has a dyed strand plied with 2 strands of light rose grey. Each hank is approx 400 yds/4 oz. As Nancy Williams taught me early in my knitting career, I used my thumb to wind up these center-pull balls. My gauge swatch is knitted with size 0 to size 3 needles.

Ever since I learned how to knit socks two-at-time on one long circular needle using Melissa Morgan-Oakes’ books, sock knitting has been a huge pleasure! I’m planning a pair of ribbed socks with contrasting colors for the cuff, heel and toe, to be knitted on size 2 needles.
When I knit hats, it will be on a size 3 needle, or a size 7 when I use the “3 plies from 1 strand” technique, and when I weave a scarf, it will be with a 12-dent reed.

I adore the versatility of this yarn!

"Serpentine" -- 3-ply DK Yarn
This fabulous yarn is named for the Serpentine rock found in the hills of southern Marin County, California, where I grew up (photo 2). The natural alpaca is blended with green, blue and purple dyed wool. The greenish blue color appeals to both men and women, and the Dk weight is the most versatile for alpaca yarns.

70% Alpaca
30% Dyed Wool
3-ply DK yarn
Approx 50 gr./100 yds.

S & H will be added to total, as will the corrected tax, which has been bumped to 5.5%, effective 10/1/13.

PacaBooMer Fingering-weight Yarn
"PacaBooMer" is designed as a sock yarn, using grade 4 alpaca for strength and durability, bamboo for luster and durability, and merino for elasticity. As you can see, this heathery brown takes dye beautifully -- the top reference skein is white overdyed with turquoise, and the PacaBooMer became a beautiful shade of blue-green! Offering the natural color yarn here, but talk to me about dyeing, or plan to dye your own.

70% Alpaca
20% Bamboo
10% Merino
Needles: #2-4
Approx. 2.4 oz/200 yds

Superfine Airy -- Hand-dyed
Everything that I love about the new Superfine Airy (see below), plus COLOR! I start with 8 skeins per color. Buy them all at once, or just one or two, but make sure you have enough for your project because these are not repeatable. I might come close, but why risk it?

The colors are intentionally variegated. Sometimes I keep the yarn wound in the skein for a tie-dye effect, which I prefer to saturated solids when I am doing the dying.

Needles: US size 1-3
