Thistle
Phoebe base:85% merino wool, 15% nylon tweed
DK weight, 100g, 231 yards/211 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 Phoebe base is a plump 4-ply DK weight yarn, in an 85/15 superwash merino and nylon tweed blend. This yarn is delightfully squishy and springy, perfect for both garments and accessories.

As this is a hand-dyed yarn, there are no dye-lots and skeins may vary slightly. Alternating skeins is recommended. While this yarn base is superwash and will not felt if it accidentally finds its way into the washing machine, hand-washing your hand-knits and laying them flat to dry will ensure you can enjoy them for a long time to come.
