The Cherry Blossom Collection
For the last few months, I have been watching the bare branches against the pale winter sky and waiting in anticipation as they began to engorge with flower buds and leaves just ready to sprout. I especially loved seeing the cherry blossom branches as they went from dark brown to a deep maroon, a dark red and finally, bit by bit, blossomed into the pale pink of the blossoms. We've had an early spring in Seattle, so many of the cherry trees are already blossoming and the earliest leaves, in all their pale green glory are popping out, creating little sparkles of green on all the dark branches.
The transition, while not as riotous as the changing autumn leaves, is just as breathtaking if one pays close attention to the small details and slow, incremental changes. I was inspired to bring back my "Cherry Blossom" colorway from years ago and create two additional colorways influenced by the transition from winter to spring. "Branches on Winter Sky" is the bare, brown bones of the trees set against the sky of pale blues. "New Leaves of Spring" is the pale early leaves with the brown branches.
Celebrate spring with us and enjoy these three colors that will only be available for the month of March.
Oh. My. I can't wait to get my hands on these!

Oh Sundara I remember when Cherry Blossoms was out the first time! I will have to get some for myself this time around.....
I love Cherry Blossoms...Can you tell me what kind of pattern this would be good to knit up. I love the yarn but need a pattern. Please help me out. I want to make something with this but need help...please!
i like this quite a lot, but am still waiting for the return of your 'Mother's Garden' - those lucious tulip pastels ....
Wow, they are all beautiful! I am glad I have time to decide which color and project to do... I googled "cherry blossoms" and found lots of places where people had knit up this colorway. THANKS!
Hooray for gorgeous yarn, and hooray for following the details of the seasons!
