Sea Flower

Yes, indeed.
A new colorway has arrived. Sea Flower.
Can you see the little clown fish at the top, the orange and white with hints of black?
Can you see the anemone that the clown fish lives in? The pale olive khaki? The soft pinks? Can you see the anemone's perch, with the deeper roses and browns?
Perhaps you need a Sea Flower to liven up your home?
Sea Flower -- be still my heart -- is available now at A Good Yarn Sarasota. The colorway is based on the photograph above, taken by Murray Post in Indonesian waters. After creating this colorway, he sent me a signed print of the photograph, which I'm going to hang in the studio.
This type of colorway is what I call a transitional handpainted. which means that it's designed to transition from one shade to the next after the skein is twisted. I love doing these -- they're a challenge (and I love a good challenge), and the end result is so unique, really a small work of art.
You can read more about the origin of this photograph on A Good Yarn Sarasota's blog. And should you wish to have a small work of art for your very own, you can give the shop a call -- they're friendly! -- at 941.487.7914. You can also email them at info@agoodyarnsarasota.com, and they'll be happy to help you.
I'll be at A Good Yarn the first Saturday in December for a workshop and trunk show, so mark your calendars!

Thanks Sharon! It's even prettier knitted.
It's gorgeous!
Oooh... I love this yarn. It's a great representation of the photograph. It's too bad that that I don't live in FL to see this yarn in person. I am interested to see how it looks knitted up.
I'm trying not "need" yarn, but I need this!
That is too much cleverness. Not to mention beautiful colors.
What does it look like knitted?
Absolutely breathtaking!
