Shimmer in the sun

Teri very nicely requested a photo of the new Shimmer colors lined up in natural light. It would have been best if it were overcast, but the sun is shining brightly today, so the shadows in the photo are a little harsh. Nonetheless, here is Shimmer on my desk in the sun (color corrected to be as accurate as I can make it).

The colors from left to right are: Blue Glass, Cumulus, Sunkissed, Lilac Dream, Galaxy, Sherry, Spice, Bayou & Fennel. I adore how these hand dyed colors turned out. I've seen the Sherry colorway knit up into a scarf and it is even more stunning than it looks here. I knit Bayou into a swatch for the May catalog, and it was so much fun to watch the colors subtly change.

Comment by Poohknits on April 21, 2008 at 2:21am: Could you name these in order. The pics you have taken of all of the yarns are so much easier to see than the ones on the order page. It would be great if you could name them each time you take a pic. Thanks so much!!!!

Comment by Teri on March 25, 2008 at 12:37pm: Oooohhhhh...now I want ALL of them! They are all drop-dead gorgeous!!! Thank you!!!

Comment by Roxane on March 25, 2008 at 11:50am: I love these subtle new colorways! They should be lovely with simple or allover lace patterns--adding interest without overwhelming the stitch design. I'm really looking forward to the photos.
