WildStar Fibers

Hello Hello!

Just popping in to do my seasonal check-in. 😂 The world is on fire and posting social media consistently is taking more spoons than I currently have. I am still here, though, mostly in stories and occasionally commenting on posts.

I’ve been deep in wholesale order dyeing and colorway testing for some new Romancelandia colorways lately. I’ve also been working on a cute ruffle tank which is very weather appropriate since we’re heading into our second week of temps in the mid 90’s here in Vegas.

What are you working on? Do you have any warm weather makes planned?

Seaside - a perfect representation of sand, seafoam and ocean waves.

This colorway is extra special because it was developed by one of my kiddos. I forgot how much I love this one.

What are your favorite patterns that use mini skeins?

I dyed up some more Kaleidoscopic mini skein sets this week because they are just SO GOOD!

Did you know that all of the WSF Shooting Star colorways are non-repeatable?

They are created using leftover dye solution in an effort to make my studio as low-waste as possible. Each batch is small and unique.

Colorway: Shooting Star Pink Sunset
Yarn Base: Supernova Sock

Even more fluff for your viewing pleasure. We have my current favorite colorway, Whimsy, shown here on two extra soft bases.

Cosmic Suri (slide two)

Which is your favorite?

I’ve had this post sitting in my drafts all day because I couldn’t come up with a cutesy caption.

✨The yarn is fluffy.
✨The colorway is cool and non-repeatable.
✨If I were to knit something with it, I’d probably choose a raglan pullover and would hold it double with a strand of undyed sock yarn.

Have you tried Constellation Boucle yet? If you are wanting to make something fun and fuzzy that won’t shed like alpaca or baby suri, this is the one for you.

Colorway: Shooting Star Mango Berry
Base: Constellation Boucle (alpaca blend)

It’s and I’m back to working on my D20 scrappy cardigan. I’m calling it The Housecoat of Many Colors.

I just have the sleeves and the neck and button band to finish, then I can block it and start snipping ends.

What WIPs are you working on today?

It’s WIP Wednesday!

I’m ready to separate for the sleeves on my Turtle Dove cardigan. The combo of galaxy twist sock and constellation bouclé is so airy and dreamy! Both yarns used are WSF and the colorway is Whimsy.

Second slide - My big accomplishment this week (and not really a WIP) is the green Felix cardigan that I’ve been working on for years. I started this project in Washington, thought I’d lost it on the drive to Nevada, found it, misplaced skeins, found them, thought about frogging and ultimately decided that it was worth finishing. 😮‍💨

Happy New Year!

Thank you all for rocking with me through another year. Get ready for a new yarn club, more in person events, more regular grid posts and maybe a newsletter or two every month.

Did you cast on something new for the new year? Or are you working your way through a WIP?

I’m starting off January with a new cast on - the Turtle Dove Cardigan by . I’m knitting it with one strand of Galaxy Twist Sock and one strand of Constellation Bouclé in the Whimsy colorway.

There are a few new skeins of Labyrinth on Cosmic Suri for the fluff lovers. Head on over to WildStarFibers.com to check them out.
