I got me some Zuluknitty

You know Scout? You know she dyes yarn, right? Beautiful yarn. Fat lot of good that did me. Until today, she didn't dye silk.

She does now. And I get the first skein...544 yards of delicious mulberry silk in a brand new Scout's Swag colorway, designed by Scout and I. We used my favorite Zulugrass bracelets as the inspiration, and voila...Zuluknitty!



To see how she did this amazing thing, check out the dye party pics.

Scout has ordered some uberdyable silk [even nicer than what I have] and will soon be making her colorways available on this gorgeous stuff as well as the yummy [so I hear] merinos and tencels and bamboos she already offers. That includes Zuluknitty. No, I don't mind sharing with y'all. I'm a generous soul, ain't i?

Scout, you rock. Thank you for turning my colors into my colors on silk. I very happy.

you wouldn't happen to be coming to NYC with that in your bag by any chance? I mean, just so I could steal it when you weren't looking. Cuz, you know, you'd be staying with me and all.....
