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
The second image shows one twisted skein lying beside a second skein that has been wound into three separate cakes. The fourth image shows a full skein lying above a knitted sample of one of the two matching gradients.
Striping Patterns
Striping Patterns
Round Trip Designed with two matching halves—perfect for projects like socks, mittens, or sleeves where you want identical results. One 100 g skein of fingering weight is enough for an average-size pair of women's socks. For longer or wider socks, choose the 150 g size.
One-Way Trip A long, non-repeating color sequence. Great for hats, cowls, or scarves—ideal when you want a journey through color from start to finish. For a Musselburgh Hat, 100 g of Trifecta or MCN is enough for a size L hat but you will need 150 g if you'd like a wide, folded brim. 4-Ply has more yardage so 100 g is enough to make a folded brim.
Shawl Yarn Specially dyed for top-down triangular shawls. Each stripe is the same width from beginning to end, with no ends to weave in. 100 g of fingering weight is enough for a small shawlette. 150 g gives a more generous size.
Sweater Yarn Designed for garments like baby sweaters. The stripes appear only on the yoke, and the rest is a coordinating solid color—no switching yarns or breaking the flow.
