We are taking part in a great program from the folks at Madeline Tosh. This is called Hue of the Moment and is a brand new and special colorway that we will be receiving monthly.

We have chosen as our yarn base the delicious Tosh Merino Light, 100% superwash merino, fingering weight with 420 yards (384m) per skein.

June's HOTM is Bloom Baby, Bloom. On a pale pink background are speckles and dashes of rich color.  I see fuchsia, red, orange, wine as well as violet, green, teal and yellow.  There may even be some hues I left out. 

Here is how the MadTosh folks describe it:

Take your farmer’s market flower stand, add some Early Girls, broccoli, sweet corn, + a pint of blueberry jam, and you get our fertile new color Bloom Baby, Bloom.

It’s the garden free from aphids. It’s vegetables without the weeds. It’s 100% germination, hybrid vigor gorgeousness ripe for the picking.

• The Rio Grande Shawl is a new pattern now available on Ravelry - knit in 4 skeins of TML.    Anyone who purchases Bloom Baby Bloom during the month of June can download the pattern for free!  Just let me know you are interested and I'll pass on the special coupon code.
