A new colorway!

Pearly Twist Autumn Maple
Originally uploaded by Jo Knits

This new colorway, Autumn Maple, is inspired by the fall leaves in New England. We don't have such colors on our trees in California, but you can enjoy the colors in your yarn!

Eight skeins of this, and ten of Jocelyn's Red, are now at Nine Rubies.

Coming soon...

In 1-2 weeks, Nine Rubies will receive:

10 skeins of Pearly Twist in Jocelyn's Red
8 skeins of Pearly Twist in Blackberry Jam
8 skeins of Pearly Twist in a new colorway, yet to be named
4 skeins of Cashmere in Jocelyn's Red
2 skeins of Luxury Sock & Shawl in Jocelyn's Red

Give Nine Rubies a call if you want to put any of these on hold!

Original Sock Yarn at Nine Rubies!

I delivered some Jewel Box and Sierra Forest original sock yarn to Nine Rubies on Friday - it's probably tagged and ready for sale by now! Also... some Sierra Forest DK silk, and This Side of Red worsted silk.

Enjoy! I received 25 pounds of Louet Gems last week and will dye next weekend!

More news and a pattern from the ABC shipment

ABCs of Creative Pursuits posted this photo of their shipment...

And, Karen has created this lovely shawl. She must be a fast knitter! She stranded Luxury Sock & Shawl with a laceweight mohair. The pattern will be available soon - I'll post a link when I have it!

Yarn delivered to ABCs!

Baywood Yarns is proud to offer our yarn through ABCs of Creative Pursuits, a lovely yarn shop in Bakersfield, California. The delivery went there last week, and they may have it on the shelves now. If you want to mail order through them, you may give them a call!

Why this shop? I grew up in Bakersfield, and my mom is a regular customer here. Karen, the owner, is wonderful to work with and dedicated to the craft. Bakersfield is lucky to have a great shop in town.

Thanks Stash & Burn!

Thank you Nicole & Jenny at Stash and Burn for the podcast review of Baywood Yarns!

If any of you are here wondering how to get Baywood Yarns, you can call Nine Rubies Knitting. I'm not sure what they have in stock, but they can tell you. I try to post photos of everything before I deliver it, so if you keep your eyes on this site you'll know when I make a delivery. You also can place an order with Nine Rubies if you favorite colorway is sold out.

If you have finished objects with Baywood Yarns and you'd like to share, send photos! I'll happily post them.

More yarn is coming soon! I dyed about 7 batches on Sunday, including more Waves and some new colorways... it's all drying now.

Introducing Pearly Twist Sock Yarn!

The first skeins of Pearly Twist Sock Yarn have been delivered to Nine Rubies. More will go to ABCs of Creative Pursuits in a month or two.

The put-up is about 430 yards (if I recall correctly) and the price is $25 per skein.

This is Blackberry Jam



And Jewel Box

The yarn on the left is Jewel Box in the Superwash Sock yarn. The yarn on the right is Pearly Twist. You can see that the Superwash Sock has more of a halo, and a looser twist.

As for gauge, the Pearly Twist is on the top. It will knit up slightly larger than the Superwash Sock. The Pearly Twist can be equated to Louet Gems Pearl or Koigu in weight, while the Superwash Sock is a bit heavier than Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sock, but lighter than Koigu.
