New! Holistic Merino Bulky Yarn

So I was on a bit of a sabbatical for the past few months for some personal reasons, and during this time I had a chance to think about Morning Bright and where and how I want it to go. Having stepped away from it for a while, so to speak, I believe I've gained some new perspectives, and definitely came up with floods of ideas for creative changes. And I'm so excited to be able to get back to working and sharing all my new ideas, while also continuing the established practices that have worked well in the past.

And my time away also served to increase the already huge amount of gratitude I have for all of you - not only my customers, but the whole world of fiber artists who find so many wonderful ways to share with one another. I'm thrilled to be able to be a part of it all!

Here's a video I made of this week's Etsy shop update, and also an introduction to my new Holistic Merino Bulky yarn. After literally years of searching I've finally found a certified humane and eco-friendly bulky merino - and it's amazing! "First Snow" I also added a bunch of colorways on my various other bases including:
Blue Tabby - Holistic Merino DK
Sand Dollar - Holistic Merino Aran
Peace and Quiet - Holistic Merino Fingering
Indigo Bunting - Holistic Merino Fingering
Hello Sunshine - Organic Merino Cobweb
Peach Julep - Holistic Merino Fingering
Verdant - Organic Merino/Nylon Sock
So Pink - Holistic Merino Aran

and my new colorway, "Wicked" on Holistic Merino Fingering So if you haven't visited my Etsy shop lately now's a great time! And for more sharing and updates and a fun monthly drawing for a free skein of yarn come join the Morning Bright group on Ravelry. com.
