Thistle
fingering weight, 100g, 459 yards/419 meters

Thistle is the softest mauve-pink with both gray and brown undertones. Thistles have been an unexpected joy in our yard. While I keep them out of my fenced garden areas, they provide beautiful blooms, and then the softest tufts of down which go floating through the air while goldfinches pick out their seeds. I could happily wear this color every day— it’s both refreshing and nurturing, sweetly feminine yet neutral enough to go with everything in your closet.

Our Bunting base is a delightfully toothy, yet comfortably soft 4-ply fingering weight. Bunting is spun from 100% non-superwash Peruvian Highland wool, and the longer staple length wool combined with the multi-ply structure makes it very durable. Bunting is especially beautiful in colorwork or cabled projects. It’s also a great option if you prefer to knit non-superwash, nylon-free socks.

As this is a hand-dyed yarn, there are no dye-lots and skeins may vary slightly. Alternating skeins is recommended, as is purchasing enough yarn to complete your project. This yarn base is not superwash and will felt if machine washed. Handwash gently in cool water and lay flat to dry.
