As many of you know (especially you oregonians) this weekend is Oregon Flock and Fiber Festival at the Clackamas County fairgrounds in beautiful Canby, Oregon.
I have had the pleasure and fortunate to have spent time working with both Stevanie Pico and Deb Accuardi, who have formed a new company called Pico Accuardi Dyeworks. Stevanie is a very very talented dyer, who specializes in natural dying. She's like a sorceress with plant matter! There have been many times I've walked into her studio and been CONVINCED the yarn i'm looking at must have been dyed with acid dyes. She assures me no such deception has occurred and that her yarns are as natural as they are wonderful.
Together we created the pattern I'm previewing for you today.
Pattern: Peppermint Patrick - A Splendor Pattern by David Castillo
Yarn: Pico Accuardi Naturally Dyed Soft Touch in
"Sumptown Brown"
"Bleeding Heart"
"Thai Mango"
"Rodger's Midnight Dancing"
&
"Columbian Sunset"
Needles: US4 (i knit so insanely loose, don't even ask. you need at least an 8)
This pattern will soon be for sale through our blog and ravelry, but for now it's only going to be available at the Pico Accuardi Dyeworks booth at OFFF. Once the festival is over, we'll be posting it for sale here, so keep an eye out! And for you splendorfiends who live in Oregon and are planning to go to OFFF, stop by the booth, say hi, take a look at the pattern and tell them how much you love us! ;) Okay, i'm only being a little cheeky. but still.
Have a great festival, everyone!
