Golden

Millie was on a mission at KPop Con. She was at the merch trade looking for all the photocards of her bias and she only needed one more to complete her set. She stared down at her collection of cards. One featured her bias in a tight white turtleneck crop, hands on hips; the other depicted her with arms crossed in front and a fierce pout. She had a photocard of the maknae to trade, and she needed to trade fast. In a little over an hour, she would be meeting her bias at the fan signing! Her sister, Caitie, tugged on her sleeve and pulled her out of reverie. “Look, look, that person has the card!” she said, pointing to a fan in the crowd with pink hair and clutching the same photobook as Millie. Caitie had to contribute a card of her bias wrecker, but the trade was complete. They moved towards the line for the meet and greet and Millie stared down at her three-card set. After an hour, Millie’s bias took the stage and the light that illuminated the pop star’s face was golden.

For more information about our yarn bases and spinning fibers, including care instructions, please visit our Yarn Bases page.

Please note that, due to the nature of hand-dyed yarn, no two skeins of yarn will be exactly alike. I recommend alternating skeins every few rows for projects using multiple skeins of the same colorway. If you order multiple skeins of the same colorway, I will do my best to select skeins that are the closest match.

I dye each skein with professional acid dyes and leave the yarn in the dye bath until the dye has exhausted before rinsing and soaking in wool wash. Minor color bleeding may occur on the first wash, especially with extremely dark colors.

Although I do my best to accurately represent each colorway in product photos, please note that the colors may vary depending on monitor and/or device settings.
