April 22: Hi. This colourway flew off the shelves this morning and I'm all sold out now. I can't take pre-orders right now, but I will restock in a couple weeks. Thank you!

Please note: There is a lot of variation between dye lots in these colour studies. Today's batch is similar to the one in the first photo.

We've recently upgraded our dyeing process and did a lot of colour mixing tests to see how the colours play together. I posted a little about it here and here. There was such an enthusiastic response to these fun swatches that I decided to some for the shop.

Each skein has three sections: two matching striped gradients and one solid grey section. One skein is enough for a matching pair of socks or the gorgeous Bobble Cowl in the final image.

The second image shows one twisted skein lying beside a second skein that has been wound into three separate cakes. The third image shows a full skein lying above a knitted sample of one of the two matching gradients.

This listing is for yarn only. We do not sell knitted items.

Base Yarns

We are updating our skeins from 115 g to 100 g (and 170 g to 150 g), with a corresponding decrease in prices. While we transition, you will find both sizes of yarn in the shop.

4-Ply Sock: 75% superwash Merino, 25% nylon
100 g = 425 m (465 yd) | 150 g = 638 m (698 yd)
Our newest yarn is perfect for accessories that need to stand up to wear while being next-to-skin soft.

2-Ply Fingering: 100% superwash Merino
100 g = 339 m (370 yd) | 150 g = 509 m (556 yd)
115 g = 390 m (426 yd) | 170 g = 585 m (639 yd)
A soft yarn with beautiful drape, this is an excellent choice for shawls, scarves and other accessories.

MCN Fingering: 70% superwash Merino, 20% cashmere, 10% nylon
100 g = 322 m (352 yd) |  150 g = 477 m (520 yd)
