Catherine felt several of the names were so wonderful that she will be asking permission to use them as new colorway names! So, what is the name of the new Red Barn Yarn? We received over 50 entries, many of them clever and well researched. Our team of judges included Catherine Petitti, owner of Red Barn Yarn®, Jennifer Burt, Editor-in-Cheif of Love of Knitting magazine, and Valerie Spanos & Karen Hostetler of Mountain Meadow Wool. The entries were wonderful, and this was not an easy choice! Please do check out their podcasts and blogs!Ī special Thank You also to everyone who participated in requesting a sample and thoughtfully submitting your ideas. We would like to take an extra moment here to say Thank You again to all the podcasters and bloggers that helped us to spread the word about the newly developed yarn in the Red Barn Yarn® line. Red Barn Yarn® is absolutely thrilled with the response of our friends and fans when we put out the call to help us name our new yarn. You may also place requests for your favorite team colors. I plan to do my 2 color skeins, so you will knit or crochet starting with one color, ending with the second color.ĭoes that look like those Buckeyes, or what? You can order now, if you like, just by emailing me, or stay tuned to find this on the web site. I have long wanted to do something in this vein, and for now, the first one will be to honor one of my favorites, the Ohio State Buckeyes and do a red and gray combo. In RBY-speak that would be Holiday Red and Charcoal. My plans for new colorways, center around team colors. I was happy to look at the Pantone Colors for 2017 and to learn that what is “new” for 2017 are colors from within my existing palette of production colors, whoo hoo! Apparently the 2017 ” color of the year” is our color Peridot, introduced about 3 years ago. So, feel free to reach out to me by email, if you would like an appointment.

I have the ability to open my home studio, by appointment, for now, and for open knitting, crocheting, or any form of hand sewing in the near future! I still have just those 70 or 80 production colors that you can find on the website, and the standard variegated combinations, also on the website, but the fun ones are those ” Uniquities” the one-of-a-kind, paintings on a skein of yarn, inspired by nature, that you can only purchase in the studio. We have completed renovating the home we are living in, and I am in a position to devote all the time I want to my beloved yarn company. I am no longer working a 9-5 job that takes me from my true love and passion, all things fiber, textile, color, fabric, to name a few. We are so happy to announce our move from the hustle and bustle of Los Angeles, to the peaceful surroundings of Palm Springs, California. Happy knitting, crocheting, quilting or whatever your passion of the moment is, These beauties, one of my coordinated bundles, which are usually two or three uniquities and one tonal solid, recently went to their new home in Canada, along with some mink, done in the colorway Acorn. I still have just those 70 or 80 production colors that you can find on the website, and the standard variegated combinations, also on the website, but the fun ones are those “Uniquities”, the one-of-a-kind, paintings on a skein of yarn, inspired by nature, that you can only purchase in the studio. I still offer the service of knitting help if it is needed, as well as shopping for the yarns that are created and finished, waiting for new homes away from the studio. The studio is open by appointment, so just reach me through the website and email, or you can actually set up your own appointment right through Facebook. So, you can find us there, and oh yes, it is so much easier to use, and fits my yarn company so much better.

Towards that end, I am condensing my social media tools to the wonderfully expanded options provided by Facebook. My true passion is all things fiber, textile, color, fabric, and not so much social media administration. Since we last sent out a newsletter, I wonder how I found time to work at all. We are still enjoying, our move from the hustle and bustle of Los Angeles, to the peaceful surroundings of Palm Springs, CA, sunny skies, tennis and spending time in my studio.
