So I lied a little...

Ok. So I lied a little about when the new yarn/ colorways would be making their debut..
BUT the yarn didn't arrive until this afternoon, so I obviously couldn't have dyed it beforehand.
I am liking the new yarn a lot. The ply is much better than the previous yarn and it smells much more sheepy :D

No dyeing has happened yet, but I spent the rest of the evening getting some of the skeins ready to be dyed (hint: STRIPES). First thing in the morning (after breakfast of course) I will begin dyeing! I should have them all dyed and ready to go by this weekend, but I make no promises, since my last estimate wasn't exactly an accurate one.

I still need a few more colorways- so if you have any suggestions, feel free to let me know! I love the input!

New Yarn and Colorways!

Coming sometime this weekend, or later this week, will be lots of new colorways- and some that aren't new but sold out right away! ALSO I will be using a new base yarn; it will no longer be an 80/20 blend of wool and nylon. Now it will be an 8-ply 100% merino wool!

If you have an suggestions for colorways, I am always up for some ideas! Just drop me an email (oinkpigments@gmail.com) and let me know which colors you'd like. Custom colorways are also available if you want something specific just for you!
Prepayment is required, and a minimum of 2 skeins must be ordered.



In slightly related news, I think I have pretty much got the online store figured out, I just need to update my inventory with the new colorways! So an online store should be making it's debut in the next week or so! :@)

It Exists!

WOO! After a few hours of fiddling around, I finally figured out how to create, design, and publish this website! HUZZAH!

This website will be the best place to find new updates and information about all things Oink Pigments! It's a pretty rough draft right now, but stay tuned for changes and additions! :@)

And hopefully someday soon, it will be an online store! ^_^
