Roxanne of Zen Yarn Garden hits the big times!
You may know Roxanne as the talented dyer from Bright's Grove, ON who dyed our exclusive St. Thomas Landscape Series last year.
The beautiful yarn colours were based on the Clark McDougall painting, Talbot St., 1964, and several of you knitted one of my Talbot Shawls in her yarn.
Another one of her colourways was inspired by a photo of our Jumbo monument with the red caboose in the background. (This is a Talbot Hill Shawl.) Yummy!
Here's a Talbot Street Shawl done in one of her Landscape Series colours in Zen Yarn Garden Heavy Lace.
This week, Roxanne was mentioned in Clara Parkes well-respected Knitter's Review.
Clara got her hands on some "Serenity Silk Single" and plans to feature Roxanne's 75% superwash Merino, 15% cashmere, 10% silk yarn in one of her regular swatch tests. Why is that a big deal? Clara is the author of The Knitter's Book of Wool, The Knitter's Book of Yarn and the Knitter's Book of Socks. Her weekly online Knitter's Review has been devoted to all things "yarny" for eleven years and has a readership of 34,000.
That's a lot of knitters! Way to go Roxanne!
