{A Favourite Dyer - Going Out Of Business}

Hey folks, I have good news and bad news.  Gaia's Colours, one of my favorite Indy Dyers has decided to close up shop.  That's the bad news.  The good news is she's offering SUPER discounts on all the yarn is has in stock!  She has mostly luxury yarns, like sock yarns including silk and cashmere.  I just bought me some more of this yarn here:


It's a gorgeous and durable sock yarn that I LOVE.  On sale now for $13.80 instead of $23.00.  I also purchased a few of her other oopsy colours that looked beautiful.  I bought 300 yards of DK SW Merino for $11.00, and another skein of sock yarn for $13.00.  The shipping will take a while because she's shipping from British Columbia to the states. But it's worth the wait!!


enjoy!

  1. Oh goodness. I really do not need more yarn, but at that price for hand-dyed loveliness, how can I resist?! :)

  3. Ack don't tempt me...I can't pass up a deal...but I'm trying to use the sock yarn I already have...you can see I'm having an internal debate as we speak.

    Usually when I travel and go to a new LYS I'll ask the clerk if there are any yarns by locals--I love indy spinners and dyers. I'm sorry to hear that a source of good stash is shutting down.

  4. It makes me so sad to hear of independent business women closing up shop. This economy has got to turn around!

  5. Dear Carmie,

    I appreciate your concern, however, you may be happy to hear that I'm not closing my shop up because of the economy. My Gaia's Colours blog (http://gaiascolours.blogspot.com) shares the whys and wherefores. It's really more about my love for the business having run it's course and my desire to let the creativity take me through other mediums.

    thanks
    Ursa
