🎨🧶 We’ve been back in the dye studio, and we’re so excited to share a peek at what we’ve been working on!

Fresh from the rinse tubs are two new colorways:

💚 Artichoke Bloom – inspired by the beautiful colors hidden inside an artichoke flower

🍭 Cotton Candy – a sweet blend of pinks that looks just like its namesake

We’re also experimenting with something new: our very first Final Pour colorways! Rather than letting leftover dye go to waste, we combine the last bits from multiple dye sessions to create completely unique skeins. This first round produced not one, but two different Final Pour colorways, and we’re excited to see how they turn out.

These skeins are still being rinsed and finished, but we couldn’t wait to share a sneak peek. One of our favorite things about hand-dyeing yarn is that every batch has its own personality, and sometimes the most unexpected combinations become our favorites.

Which colorway are you most excited to see finished?
