Step 1: Choose Your Base

Colorways may vary in appearance slightly depending on the composition and weight of the base they are dyed on. Non-Superwash yarns tend to dye up slightly less vibrant(still beautiful) and speckles may appear more diffused and less sharp. Alpaca takes dye differently, with darker hues usually appearing lighter in color.

The Colorways

 

Cider Spice

Cider Spice is a colorway inspired by mugs of spiced cider shared around a crackling fire. With rich shades of warm spicy brown, deep fiery cinnamon and specks of clove and toasted caramel. I hope it evokes the scent cider and the comfort of warm, cozy evenings. This colorway is perfect for projects that call for a bit of earthy richness and a touch of seasonal nostalgia. Cider Spice is a toasty, grounding hue that pairs well with all of the colorways in this collection.

Fir Noir🌲

Fir Noir draws its inspiration from the heart of a dark evergreen forest, where the frozen trees loom tall, and the only light comes from a cold distant moon. Dyed in saturated shades of dappled dark green, like frozen fir boughs dusted with frost. Fir Noir is a timeless semi-solid colorway that brings depth and texture to any project.

Velvet Cranberry

Lush and striking, Velvet Cranberry is inspired by the deep, tart hue of winter cranberries, a seasonal staple. This colorway features layered shades of rich cranberry, punctuated with dark inky blue speckles that add depth and texture, like shadows falling across velvet. Elegant and bold, Velvet Cranberry creates a festive contrast against winter’s subdued palette. It’s a saturated color made for statement pieces.

Silver & Smoke

Silver & Smoke is inspired by the soft, powdery gray of ash, the light curl of smoke in the air, and the remnants of charred wood left after the fire burns out. Dyed in layered shades of ashy gray with scattered charcoal specks, this colorway is subtle, textural, and versatile.

Shadow Solstice🌙

Shadow Solstice honors the darkness of the longest winter night, a time when the world is quiet. This colorway is a true, neutral black with subtle wisps of soft gray, like the haze of moonlight that barely breaks through a heavy night. It’s bold and minimal, the kind of staple that anchors a palette or stands strong on its own. Perfect for pieces that embrace simplicity, depth, and contrast.

Nocturne Teal

Nocturne Teal reminds me of inky shadows cast over the snow on a cold winter night. Dyed in saturated shades of dark teal, it’s a cool rich hue that can hold its own.

Yuletide Hearth

Yuletide Hearth is dyed in glowing shades of amber, ember orange, and soft pine green. This colorway is inspired by the comforting crackle of a fire while the hearth is strung with dried citrus slices and fir sprigs. It evokes the scent of woodsmoke tinged with orange and freshly cut pine.  Cozy and nostalgic, Yuletide Hearth knits up beautifully and pairs well with bold solids.

Winter Aurora

Winter Aurora is inspired by the rare, breathtaking sight of auroras dancing across a frozen arctic sky. Dyed in shifting tones of moody violet, glacial green, and deep star-studded indigo. It’s a colorway full of movement.

Polar Dusk❄️

Polar Dusk captures the glass like chimes of winter wind blowing freshly fallen snow across a frozen lake at twilight. The stark beauty of when the snow dusted ice reflects the last traces of light fading from a polar sky that is deepening into a sweep of starlit indigo. This colorway blends icy pale frosts with inky midnight blues, and just a hint of dusky violet. Polar Dusk is a serene colorway that almost makes my breath catch in my throat and my cheeks sting from the chill it leaves in my mind.

Oxford Frost

Oxford Frost is inspired by the fleeting, violet tinged light at dusk. That moment when the day slips into night and you wish your phones camera could just this once capture the beauty of what you’re actually seeing.  Dyed in cool, shadowy violets, this colorway captures that color your phone never can. It’s a sophisticated kind of shade that lingers, like the last light on snow covered rooftops. Oxford Frost is perfect for those drawn to moody, refined tones.
