Knitted from Yarnahoy's yarns

 I stopped dyeing yarns in early 2008 so I could set off for India & follow a dream. Almost 2 years hence, on a whim, I ran a search for "Yarn ahoy" on Ravelry. Below are pictures of what I found. I'm so delighted at the beautiful projects knitters completed with my hand dyed yarns!
Please note that the images below belong to the people who shot them.
Hope you all have a wonderful New Year :)

New fabrics scraps at Yarnahoy & discounts!

Hello all!
I've added gorgeous new fabric scrap bundles to my Yarnahoy shop. Please note that there is a 20% discount for joining the Yarnahoy mailing list & also for doing the short Yarnahoy fabrics survey.
I've also added a 50% discount item in the shop. Please note that this is a surprise scraps package, full of gorgeous scraps. There are no pictures or sizes available for this item as it save me time to photograph, describe & upload (& hence saves you valuable $$).

All that said, hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Taking suggestions for roving colors

I'll be offering spinning fibers in the form of rovings and tops at Yarnahoy, my Etsy store.
Feel free to send me links to pictures of spinning fibers you would like to have! Or send me colors and textures you love so that I can elaborate.

The silk/merino roving below has stunning jewel tones that were inspired by the mist over Nilgiri mountains in the winter & the jewels of South India.

Discounts available: There is a 20% discount for the purchase of 2 lbs or more of roving and 10% discount for the purchase of over 1 lb. This works well for folks who need enough for sweaters or large shawls/throws.

New roving for handspinning

Yep, I'm bring back spinning fibers. Would be a shame not to (given the abundance of wool in the UK).
Feels so good to be back with fiber ! :)

SHOPS UP! Gorgeous new brocades and weaves in...

All of these stunning fabrics are available in my Yarnahoy! Etsy shop. Most of them are available in 1 yard lengths. There is also a section for scrap combos, also a section for trims and borders which is being filled on an ongoing basis.
All of the silk blend fabrics have fabulous sheen and drape.
Please let me know of any wholesale requests or questions you may have.

Teaser pictures of the fabric stash that I’ve collected over the past 1 year in India.

Gorgeous brocades, weaves, trims, silks, embroidered & embellished fabrics. Woohoo! I roamed far & wide to collect these.

I’m still in India on assignement. Will return to Cambridge (UK) in mid March 2009. Till then, I shall be taking more pictures of stuff & noting prices alongside.
Some of the rectangular fabrics can be pre-ordered (if my supplier has any left) in case you want more that the 1 or 2 yards I have of each kind. Likely to be sold for between $7.50 and $14.50 for 1 meter (1.1 yard) depending on the weave.

The ‘scraps’, however are irregular shaped remnants which are all that I have & hence absolute one-of-a-kind. These cannot be found or purchased anywhere else! These are stunning pieces of embellished heaven & guaranteed to delight the crafter, scrap booker & quilter. Almost none of my scraps are plain fabric. They’re either embroidered or bejeweled.
Likely to be sold for $6.50 for 10 scraps.

Please let me know of any special/wholesale requests BEFORE the 27th of February 2009. All the items will be going online for sale after the 20th of March 2009 (once I get home). All items will be shipped from the UK. Shipping from India is fairly expensive unless you're buying several yards at once.
Let your quilter friends know :)
I can be emailed at mayacrafts@gmail.com

Above: Rectangular, large fabric. This lot belongs to a weave called "Khaann" which originated in the western part of India. Earlier worn by village folk, it has now risen in popularity thanks largely to Indian art films. These are 'shot weaves'. Each one shows subtle variations of colors.
