final disbursement. . . 06/12/2010
Okay, so, no pictures yet. I will respectfully wait until all Sock Clubbers have received their last skein before unveiling TurtleDove's newest yarn! But i will tell you a few crucial things - First of all, its gorgeous!! i can't wait to reveal!!! But, i will demonstrate some restraint. Secondly, the new yarn is named: Myna. The Myna bird, (also the Mynah) is part of the Starling family & is originally only found in Southern & Eastern Asia. It is probably the softest yarn in the TDY family - yup, even softer than Starling. Believe that!  Bali Myna Bird - compliments of Wiki So, let the anticipation begin. You'll be able to get your hands on some Myna on the website in the next few weeks & of course at Wooly Bully if you are local to Tallahassee! x o x o Add Comment New Fall Colorways 09/03/2009
 I knit this pair of shortie socks for my husband as a birthday gift. They were created using TDY's Pigeon Sock in the colorway Little Owl. We have Great Horned Owls in our forest and one in particular that I see perched on the same branch in the evenings, just above Black Creek. This colorway was created just for him in the hopes that he'll stick to eating the not so cute things & will leave the wild bunnies alone. I have faith in you little owl, that you will do the right thing! Little Owl is one of 3 new colorways introduced for Fall '09.  You'll also find this one, Rapunzel, a blend of brown, burgandy, red, and gold with a touch of cream & avocado. I love the warmth of this colorway. Right now it is available in Pigeon Sock, Heron BFL, and Magpie.  Biancabella is the 3rd colorway in this release, featuring deep purple, violet & pink. The purple sections are overdyed multiple times for depth & dimension. It is currently available in the RareBird Lace & will be coming in other bases soon. Most of these yarns are available in the shop, but the BFL yarns are only available on the etsy site. enjoy! Knot Comes Loose by My Morning Jacket 07/24/2009
 Knot Comes Loose / Pigeon Sock I'm so happy to introduce our very first release in our Collaborations Line from TurtleDove Yarns. Jim James of My Morning Jacket was kind enough to collaborate with us to create this colorway, a blend of various deep oranges & varying shades of blue from slate gray to nearly black & just a touch of chocolate brown. The band collectively decided to name this colorway Knot Comes Loose after a song on their album, Z.  When you purchase a skein of Knot Comes Loose from our shop, you will receive a free pattern to make these fingerless mitts, appropriately named "My Morning Mitts." The pattern includes sizing for mens & womens and will come in the post with your yarn. We are so happy with this first installment of our Collaborations Line. Jim James was especially gracious in his participation & we are super appreciative. Big Thanks to the entire My Morning Jacket band for being a part of this project.  My Morning Mitts; Mens & Womens size My Morning Jacket finalizes their yarn! 07/13/2009
