You may have noticed my (not so subtle) hints having to do with some of my favorite songs from Disney soundtracks and lots and lots of fiber. 🎶🤭 I’ve had the idea to do something like a Disney’s Sing-a-long collection for awhile now, but lately I’ve been finding myself randomly turning on my Disney songs playlist as a way to escape reality and the never ending chaos of today’s news cycle. Combining that happy place with the creative outlet of dyeing fiber has brought me comfort and fulfillment over the last several weeks and it’s a habit I hope I can keep up whenever I have some spare time & fiber in the studio. So let me introduce our first batch of fiber inspired by some of my favorite Disney songs! I hope they can bring a little bit of joy and magic to you, just as they have for me. ✨ The first song I absolutely knew I wanted to dye a colorway for was UNDER THE SEA from The Little Mermaid. That soundtrack was truly the hardest to narrow down to just one song. The whole thing is just jammed full of my favorites, but the scene and the song are just so colorful and upbeat that I could immediately imagine the colorway I wanted to create. Our Disney inspired fiber will be available May 10 at 4pm MT. These braids are ready to ship, but our inventory will be limited in this first drop as we gauge interest in this idea.
Three hand-dyed skeins of yarn with coordinating mini skeins sit on a wooden serving board surrounded by different varieties and colors of ripe tomatoes and fresh basil. Each set of yarn is inspired by a different variety of tomato and is the perfect way to make tomato-inspired socks, a hat, a cowl, or a small shawl. The Heirloom sock sets are now available for preorder at longdogyarn.com.
Six skeins of hand dyed yarn in colors ranging from rich purple and ruby, warm gold and coral, and leafy green sit on a black marbled background surrounded by fresh tomatoes and basil. These tomato inspired yarns are now available to preorder through the end of the week from longdogyarn.com.
Five small tomato graphics that fade from peach to deep plum sit in a background of a photo of the Queen of the Night tomato. The tomato is shades of peach, coral, and plum purple. Openings for this mystery yarn club are available for one week starting on April 15. Clubs ship by the end of May.
HOT HOUSE 🔥 I'm going ahead and calling it: this is my color of the summer. Hot House is a rich, fiery, coral red. On the red scale, this one leans more orange than the reds I typically dye and I am way more obsessed with it than I thought I would be. Am I becoming an orange-red person?! I want to make all the summer tops in this color and just live my best life as a tomato person soaking up the sun. Hot House is the perfect pairing with Beauty Queen to give your mood and your yarn stash a pure injection of summer warmth and whimsy. I cannot imagine more cheerful duo. The Heirloom Q1 preorder opens on April 19 at 4pm MT. All colorways will be available on your favorite LDY yarns along with our summer line up of bases.
BEAUTY QUEEN 👸 February’s inspiration lives up to its name, being one of the most beautiful (and yummy) tomatoes that I added to my garden last summer. I love watching the green tomatoes subtly shift to shades of pale yellow and then to gold with streaks of orange and coral. Our Beauty Queen colorway features a swirling base of straw yellow and tangerine with streaks of coral and speckles of golden yellow and bright peach. The Heirloom Club Q1 preorder will go live on April 19 at 4pm MT. All colorways will be available to order on 9 yarn bases, including your LDY favorites & our warm weather line up of cotton blend yarns.
