Happy Summer Solstice! Today, we rejoice in the sun and light on the longest day of the year. To celebrate, we have created a new colorway: Jubilant.
~~~
Jubilant is available on three yarn bases:
Floating is our softest yarn, made of 70% Alpaca ~ 20% Silk ~ 10% Cashmere, you can use it to create a single skein scarf or shawl. Or combine it with another yarn, to create an even larger piece, such as Swoop! (437 yards / 100g)
Frond is a radiant beam of halo and glow, due to its content of 72% kid mohair and 28% silk. (Fingering weight / 459 yards / 50 g)
Rumor is a yarn that we bring out for special occasions like today! Rumor is constructed from a single ply and has an irresistible shine due to its fiber content of 70% superwash Merino and 30% silk. (Fingering weight / 438 yards / 100g)

What to knit? How about?

When sitting down this year to think of what gives us great joy and happiness at this time of year - peaches came instantly to mind.
I wait all year long for peach season. It is one of my favorite fruits. I have searched high and low for the best peach. A couple years back, I found them - grown by in the Central Valley. This lovely organic farm is family owned and has an incredible history, by David Mas Masumoto. The farm's legacy continues with his daughter, Nikiko.
During this time of year, I splurge on peaches. Bringing them into the studio for all of us to enjoy. I admire their soft slight fur, the golden skin with dappled specks of rose, and their sweet mango like flavor.
So in honor of peaches, we have created Jubilant - which is the feeling or expression of great happiness. Rose via speckles melds into peachy gold, which flows into a minty green, reminiscent of the peach tree's leaves, and a hint of light blue, just a peek of the Summer sky above.
I hope on this long, light-filled summer day, you are either eating a peach or enjoying something that brings and gives you joy - even the smallest moment matters.
I cannot wait to cast-on with this colorway! I hope you will join me.
Warmly,
Kristine and Team Verb
