     We are going to take a little sideways gaunt away from this week's theme of getting help, just for today. I have been given the opportunity to test knit a few swatches and a full skein of yarn for a new yarn company. Yeah!

     Angela Cline, a good knitting friend of mine has started a yarn business. Her company LYDIA yarn (LYDIA stands for Luxury Yarn Dyed In America) just started within the past few months and already has skeins listed on her Etsy shop LYDIAyarn.

     The colorways are considered single batch dyes. This means that if there were more yarns dyed they would not necessarily match the current colorways. So if you have a project in mind, get all the yarn that you need now and take no chances.

     I will be knitting test swatches of 2 colorways for LYDIA yarn. Meet Grandma's Couch, this is absolutely my favorite of all the colorways that I saw today...

The information below is directly from the LYDIA yarn Etsy shop.

• 80% Superwash Merino, 20% Nylon - 1 ply
• Bulky Weight
• 82 yards/100 grams
• This yarn accepted the dye so well, it is a beautiful jewel tone, the Merino is amazingly soft, the Nylon gives an amazing sheen and strength. This is a great yarn to knit something warm and cuddly with. This yarn feels as amazing as it looks. So soft and luxurious.

... and meet Oyster Shell, I love the sheen that the silk provides in this colorway.

The information below is directly from the LYDIA yarn Etsy shop.

• 1 ply yarn – 70% Superwash Merino, 30% Silk
• Light Fingering Weight
• 400 yards/100 grams
• The effect of the silk in this yarn is truly amazing. This yarn feels as amazing as it looks. So soft and luxurious.
  

     I have also been asked to test knit a full skein that is not listed on the LYDIA yarn Etsy Shop. The following skein is a test skein. I am fascinated with the subtle color changes throughout the yarn. I am going to use this yarn to knit my tablet cover.

Additional Policies and FAQs

Why are there limited quantities available?
At LYDIA we dye all of our yarns prior to listing them for sale. This ensures the yarn you want is what is being displayed in the photos. If you are interested in a larger qty please send a message and let’s talk about it.

Do you sell wholesale?
Not at this time, but coming soon. If you are a yarn re-seller or LYS and are interested in carrying LYDIA yarn, please send a message.

Why does my Skein look slightly different than in the photos?
Some skeins are re-skeined, this is a process where the yarn is wound into a new skein, it helps distribute the colors, most photos of the yarn are re-skeined.

Can you wind yarn into balls?
Yes we can, please just ask.
