It’s luxe, it’s drapey, it’s incredibly soft, takes the dye beautifully in a gorgeous layered, rich way and I can say with confidence, that it is really lovely to knit with. I think that my favourite thing about this yarn (other than the softness and squishiness) is the fact that the undyed yarn is a warm grey, not creamy white. It means that we don’t have any super pale shades (no white or light greys) but all of our colourways have this gorgeous layered look to them. There’s a beautiful depth and richness to the colours that give them a heathered quality that I just adore.

Each skein is truly unique, there is variation between skeins even within the same batch. Embrace it! If you are knitting a large project and want to ensure there will be no noticeable shifts in colour or tone between skeins, we recommend alternating between two skeins every couple of rows. Please try to purchase enough yarn to complete your project - though we do not have numbered dye lots, we always fill orders for multiple skeins with yarn from the same batch.
