Top 5 photos...

...are up! Here are larger photos of all those you see above in the same order. Have fun voting! Remember voting closes on August 27th at 12 midnight CST. VOTE ABOVE!

Congratulations to the top 5 photographers! They are listed in no particular order, it was a hard choice. I would love to use them all for inspiration in my dyeing adventures, if only I had all that time!  Thank you to all of you who submitted a photograph; it was a delight to see them all! ~ Angela

#1. Green-winged Macaw   Submitted by: LakeLady8186 (Ravelry name)

I imagine dyeing the yarn in narrow long stretches of color in red, green and turquoise. When knitting a pair of socks it would come out as narrow stripes, a very fun pair of socks indeed.

#2. Lotus Water Lily   Submitted by: Designs by Jenai

I would love to see this yarn progress from dark to light pink, with a medium yellow, while leaving some of the yarn white. I think this would make a beautiful colorway!

#3. Rocks in Halifax, NS Harbor   Submitted by: ReverendJoy (Ravelry name)

I think this will make a beautiful pastel colorway of gray, coppery tan, burnt red and blue in a subtle array of color blended together to create a harmonious yarn.

#4. Daylily   Submitted by: PurlVerde (Ravelry name)

I'm seeing burnt orange with the slightest hint of pink,  and yellow with small splashes of purple throughout the yarn intermingled giving the knitted piece an all-over color look.

#5. Farmer's Market Salad   Submitted by: Sdmags (Ravelry name)

I'm envisioning shades of green, light yellow, orange, dark purple and pink in a variegated yarn. I think it would be a vibrant, beautiful and fun colorway!

Phat Fiber...

...samples have been sent in for the August box! Well, actually I sent them in a while ago. You can find more information here about the Phat Fiber box. It's always chocked full of fibery goodness for you to play with!  More information about these yarns is found in the pages on the right hand side of this blog.

Resplendence in Mystic Turquoise

Opulence in Golden Sunflower

Nogi in Autumn Smoke

With every purchase from my shop I send out samples of other yarns for you to touch and feel, it could be some of these or I have others of course. It will always be a fun surprise to you! All are available in my shop.

It's your last day to...

...vote! Blogger is a little slow to update so I'll give it a day or so before I announce the winner, but I'm pretty sure it's going to be the Autumn Path! I'm so sure that the yarn is in the dye pot right now and it's gorgeous as far as I can tell, it's still wet you know, it changes a bit when it's dry and re-skeined, but usually it gets even more beautiful!! I can't wait to send it out to my yarn club subscribers! I will also have it available as a month to month purchase, but it is in your best interest to subscribe if you think you'll plan on getting more than one month's inspiration. In the long run it will be less expensive since the yarn and shipping are discounted. I understand that many cannot afford to fork out this much money at one time so I want to offer it month by month, too. There will also be other goodies with the clubs and sometimes one of a kind yarns, that are not a part of my usual line up that I carry. For the reason of the yarn club I cannot reveal the final photos of the yarn, just a sneak peak. I'm sorry, but it just wouldn't be fair to the club subscribers and I hope you understand! I do plan on dyeing up some of the other inspirational photos this month, which will be revealed and for sale in the shop. I will have a listing for a pre-order of the August colorway in my shop.  If you want it on a different base just let me know via a conversation at my Etsy Shop. It won't be available again for six months.
