Amethyst – Hand Dyed Yarn

Description

Amethyst, a hand-mixed blend of various purples. This lovely color way is blended from primary colors and kettle dyed. Depending on how the blended colors strike the yarn, it can appear more blue or more magenta, giving a glazed appearance. This colorway is available on the base of your choice.

The process begins when you place your order. The colors are hand blended, dyed on your selected base, and shipped directly to you within 3 weeks, usually much sooner. Feel free to contact us for current turn around time. Want to learn more about our specific dyeing process and what goes into each skein? Click here!

Select from our 16 available bases, listed below in order of weight (thinnest to thickest). For more information on the various choices click here.

Yarn is carefully sourced and mulesing-free. Our process is partially an exact science and partially pure art resulting in excellent, repeatable results. Each skein is hand dyed in a pet and smoke free environment. Makes an excellent gift for your favorite fiber artist, especially for yourself!

Care Instructions:
For longest wear please hand wash in cool water and lay flat to dry.

Hand dyed yarn has a tendency to “bleed” the first couple of times washed. This is normal, especially if using hot water. Stick to cooler water, and gentle hand washing, and your yarn will last for years to come!

Our yarn skeins are dyed by hand using quality fiber and professional grade dyes. Each skein is a work of art, and some variances can be expected, making it slightly unique. Additionally, while every effort is made to ensure the photos reflect the true colors, they may appear differently on your screen. Feel free to contact us for more photos, or with a custom dyeing request!
