Midnight

The sun has fully set by the time you get out from work. You slump in the driver’s seat of your car for an extra moment, before you start making your way onto the highway.

One nice thing about working late is you get to avoid the usual commuter traffic. You also have a wide-open view of the sky, unobscured by any buildings or trees. Even though the sun is fully beneath the horizon, you can see lingering vestiges of light diffusing gently across the vast expanse, casting it in a subtle shade of dark velvety blue before true night fall.

The sky isn’t clear enough to see any stars, even the moon is partially obscured by a cluster of dark gray clouds, but you don’t mind. As twilight shifts to night, you get to see how, for just a moment, even one of the darkest of colors can seem to glow.

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.
