TAPESTRY - Dyed In The Wool - NEW COLLAB!
$ 34.00 $ 0.00
Our previous dyeing collaborations with Lily of Wishbone Yarn gave us Dark Matter and East of the Sun, two color palettes that have gone on to become all-time favorites around here. So when Lily approached Rachel about an encore, she was immediately in!
The inspiration for this stunning new colorway comes from one of Lily's mother's unfinished tapestries. She and Rachel worked closely to bring the dreamy, nostalgic Tapestry to life. We hope you love it as much as we do!
Due to the very complicated and expensive shipping in and out of South Africa, Lily has decided not deal with importing and exporting the majority of this yarn. This could change in the future, but for now, "Tapestry" will primarily be available directly from Spincycle. To support more of Lily's creative endeavors, check out her yarns and original designs. We really admire Lily's dedication to sustainable dye practices. If you'd like to read further about her process click here.

You will receive a skein from this colorway, but not the exact skein pictured. • Due to our “dyed in the wool” process, each skein we produce is unique, even within a dyelot. • If you have specific color preferences, please leave a note in the box at checkout. • We recommend buying your entire yardage requirement for your project in the same transaction, so that we can hand select skeins that match.
For high contrast colorwork, we recommend steam blocking to avoid color transfer. • Some dyes are notoriously difficult to set, and may exhaust some color even after our final wash. • Please keep this in mind if you are combining any hand dyed yarn with a light color in the same project. • If you plan to combine a hand dyed yarn, especially a very saturated colorway, with a lighter yarn, we suggest you test your darker skeins for possible color transfer by soaking them first. • To wash your knitwear, a quick cold water dip with a no-rinse wool wash is recommended.
