Thistle
Swift base: 80% superwash merino wool/ 20% nylon
Fingering weight, 100g, 400 yards/365 m

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 Swift base is a plump 2-ply, soft yet strong, and is perfect for both garments and accessories. It makes for particularly squishy socks!

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.
