Beautiful Universe is my most popular colorway, but it’s also the one that takes the most time to dye. For that reason, I don’t have it in the regular dyed to order section of my shop. Right now, though, I finally have enough open space on my dye calendar to be able to dye it… Read More Beautiful Universe Preorder

Next I dyed Northern Lights on Twinkle Sock: I… Read More What’s New at Purple Lamb
