This yarn was created in response to your feedback.

November is coming to an end, how are you doing?
It is a season of progress in knitting, and I am anxious for thicker yarns for the cold season.
Today, we would like to introduce yarns that were born from your comments!

First, let's start with the results of the survey.
“Which weight of thicker yarn do you prefer?”
When I asked, DK-weight was the most popular.

Next is the color.
Since we could only select up to four options for the Instagram survey, I had to split the survey into two separate surveys.
Many people answered both surveys, so I decided to dye the two colors that ranked first in each: brown and blue.
For the brown color, I even asked about the specific brightness of the color.
The most popular color was dark brown.
Personally, this is a surprising result.

Finally, I asked whether the hair was monochromatic or patterned.
It was a 50-50 split until about halfway through the survey, but in the end, the winner was the one with a pattern.
Here are the two types of yarns that were produced in this way.

Since they were born from your voices, the title is “Voice”.
Although I dyed them, I had been thinking for a while what to name each one.
It is always difficult to name them.

When I was looking at the blue yarn, I remembered the tree ice I had seen before.
It was a memory from my childhood, so perhaps my memory is wrong.
However, I had a vague image in my mind of bare trees covered with ice and snow and the piercing blue sky.
This is how the name “Ice trees” was born.

Next, the brown yarn.
This one took even longer.
I looked at it, started working on something else, and then remembered my part-time job.
It was a long time ago, but I had a part time job as an inventory clerk at a university library.
Since it was inventory, I would check out rare items that were not normally checked out.
I had no idea what was inside, but there were old documents covered in insect bites, newspapers from the war years, foreign books so large that I had never seen them, and so on... It was such a fun part-time job that I would love to work there again.

I didn't have to check inside, but I felt the thrill when I opened a page, wondering what was written in it.
The cover of a massive old Western book, the book faded with age.
The yarn is a dark brown base with purple and green flecks.
I named it “old book” because I thought the image of the book (brown) and the emotion (speckles) would fit this yarn.

As for the explanation of the material, this is a high-twist yarn that is resistant to friction.
It is a high-twist yarn that is resistant to friction, but it is also soft and versatile enough to be used for anything.
According to the manufacturer, it is the perfect yarn for socks.
It is also good for knitting socks with thicker yarns.

It was a great experience for me to try dyeing the yarn in response to your feedback!
My best wishes to all of you who helped us.
I could not make it happen due to lack of time, but if I do it again, I would like to take a more detailed survey.
I would appreciate your cooperation in that case.
The sale will be on November 29th at 8pm.
