Destination Alchemy

There were many gasps of delight today as we opened a stack of new boxes full of exquisite Alchemy yarns. This basket is filled with Silken Straw, in an absolutely enchanting range of colours:


These beautiful silken skeins were lovingly hand-dyed by fiber artist and Alchemy co-owner, Gina Wilde.

We also unpacked some fabulous new shades of Haiku and Silk Purse. These three yarns are featured in the 20 stunning designs in Gina Wilde's new book, Destination Alchemy:


This book is already headed for a second printing, congrats Gina! Check out some of the amazing designs right here.

Gina and Austin Wilde are two of the sweetest people you'll ever meet. Gina has an infectious passion for fiber arts and design. And Austin charms us every time with his southern drawl and California dude charisma. Their personality trickles out of some of the stories on the Alchemy website. Be sure to read about the Alchemy animals. Check out the photo of Purl, the pig, with her friend Darla, the UPS driver. And don't miss the story of the Possibly Immaculate Conception of Clementine, the baby donkey. LOL.
