So why am I so thrilled about their September sock club package? First of all, we all know how much I love the color purple. Look at the name of the sock pattern--Purple Maze. And the adorable foldover needle case, in purples, of course.
Then check out the variations of purple in this yarn:
Here's a closer look. I love any and all shades of purple, and my favorite hand-painted yarns are those that have white running through them. It just looks so right to me.The yarn is their new Panda line (60% Superwash Merino, 30% Bamboo, 10% Nylon). It's so shiny and soft. Perfection.
But even that's not what got me all excited. Look at what they chose to name this colorway:
Yes, KATRINA. When I wrote to them and told them how much I loved the yarn, they said they created it with me in mind. I'm touched and honored. What a lovely surprise.

How exciting to have yarn named for you! It's a gorgeous colorway.
Ohh that is exciting! It really is a pretty colorway. Purple is my daugther's favorite color too. In fact we had purple jello for dessert tonight.
Wow--a gorgeous colorway in your honor! How flattering! :)
Ooooooooh! Purple yarn. . .
You richly deserve it.
Wow, Katrina. You know you are special to so many of us. But to have a yarn named after you with your favorite colors and not be a coincidence but done specially for you... that's so honoring, and it made me very happy for you! I know that whatever you create with it will be wonderful. Congratulations!
Celia.
That is so fun! I hope you make some socks for yourself with that one!
