Introducing: “Mambocat”

Knitivity Posted on by

Okay, after a bit of play I can announce a new colorway:

Mambocat

in honor of a good friend and fellow fiberholic, Dez Crawford, on the occasion of her birthday, which just happens to be today. If I remember correctly, she is <*muffle*><*mumble*> years old today!   The colorway name comes from her blog: Mambocat’s Knitting Asylum, although she’s had hellacious lots going on lately — let’s hope the world stops spinning so she can catch her breath and start knitting and spinning herself again!  🙂     Love ya, Dez!

So, Lisa sent me this picture (which I have blurred and annotated) from the Macy’s online catalog pages:

and asked me to pull out the chocolate and teal, with a blip of the goldish color in between, to be sent to Dez.  You can’t really see the gold among the other lesser colors on the embroidery (oooh-la-la… fancy sheets!), but I ended up with this:

Which is now available for ordering on any of the regular yarns on the Custom-Dyes page:

Soooo… whutcha think?  Is this destined to be another best-seller??

  1. Ray – would it be possible to do a “browner” mambocat – with the blue/teal reduced down to about the same amount as the gold and the brown taking up most of the skein?

    And the reverse? primarily teal with just a flash of the gold and brown?

    • Leo, as a custom-dye, you can (nearly always) have it your way! 🙂
      That’s what the Special Instructions box is for. When you say
      “browner” I’m assuming you meant more of that brown and not a
      deeper/richer/darker brown, right?

  2. I just adore it. This is the most thoughtful thing from you! A colorway for my alter ego. Who could ask for anything more? HUGE HUGS coming your way!

  5. OK – I have to have some of that – a colorway so happy!! I just have to figure out what I’ll knit it to be & how much I’ll need. I’m thinking a long scarf & maybe a hat to go with it!

  8. Ray, that is gorgeous!! I love the way those colors compliment each other. You’re a color genius!

  9. Hi Ray-

    I’m really impressed with how well this came out…….and Dez, the original Mambocat really, really , really likes it.

    I’m going to have to make myself something out of this for when I have to go someplace cold. It’s fabulous.

    Mahalo and aloha,

    Lisa

  10. Ray it is gorgeous. I never think I am much of a brown person but I am really liking this- might be on my next socks order. 🙂
    Dez, happy birthday.
