New colorway!

And it makes me happy. It makes me happy to look at it, it makes me happy to dye it, it makes me happy to pack it up and ship it off to its new parents in Florida, happy enough to keep a skein on my desk and a skein on my packing table just because I like to see it.
This is called Gulf of Mexico, and it's made to mimic the serene, tropical waters found in what is sometimes known as the American Mediterranean.
Gulf of Mexico is kettle dyed in clear turquoises and greens, with small accents of watery blue-grey. Kettle dyeing means that the color variation is randomly distributed throughout the skein, minimizing the chances of color pooling. And because this is a low-contrast colorway, you can safely use this for complicated stitch patterns, cables, or lace. But it's also interesting enough to stand on its own in a plain stockinette stitch.
I broke out my new Signature Circulars to knit a small swatch of this gorgeous colorway. Gulf is the perfect antidote to an ailing mood or a flagging spirit -- it's calm but cheerful, and wearable by absolutely anyone.
Gulf of Mexico is available exclusively at one of our lovely retailers: A Good Yarn Sarasota. Susan at A Good Yarn is very lovely and very happy to take orders for this colorway. I know she has it instock on the following yarns:
- Adorn Sock
