Lace Haiku has been changed to Lace Stanza (yeah, one day I’ll get off the sock kick and do lace ) to free up “haiku” to become dum dum duuuuum-Bamboo Haiku Sock!

PDY will soon be offering a bamboo blend called Bamboo Haiku Sock. It’s 65% superwash merino/35% bamboo, 3ply, fingering weight, approx. 500 yards/105gram per skein. There is currently 1 skein in the shop. More will be ordered by the end of the month.

We are busy working on the sock club ad Loopy Ewe wholesale order.

There is a very small (6 skeins) shop update tonight. Hard at work on sock club and TLE dyeing so shop dyeing will be sporadic for a little while… I most likely will not be announcing any more shop updates while I work on TLE order for a little while. Skeins will be added here and there.

I Bite, Emperor of Ice Cream (new colorway)
Ocean of Violets, Midnight Iris
Ocean of Storms, Cantaloupe (new colorway)

The Emperor of Ice Cream colorway was inspired by the Wallace Stevens poem of the same name

Call the roller of big cigars,
The muscular one, and bid him whip
In kitchen cups concupiscent curds.
Let the wenches dawdle in such dress
As they are used to wear, and let the boys
Bring flowers in last month’s newspapers.
Let be be finale of seem.
The only emperor is the emperor of ice-cream.

Take from the dresser of deal,
Lacking the three glass knobs, that sheet
On which she embroidered fantails once
And spread it so as to cover her face.
If her horny feet protrude, they come
To show how cold she is, and dumb.
Let the lamp affix its beam.
The only emperor is the emperor of ice-cream.
