Description
Skydance is our in house yarn!
All sourced from Hudson Valley farms and milled in NY state. Naturally Dyed in PA.
Wool is a Cormo, Romney and Merino blend.
Blues are dyed with natural indigo.
When working with fiber dyed with indigo, it is normal for some blue to rub off on one’s hands and needles. This is called crocking and is part of the process. The stain on your hands is easily removed with soap and water. This residue is extra indigo that is released from the fiber by the pressure of one’s hands. Your handwork is part of the indigo dyeing process! Please see below for colors that are indigo dyed.
Heavy Fingering weight
Approx 100 g /375 yards
We used Steamy Kitchen Window* as the MC in our shop sample of Andrea Mowry's Satellite Shawl
Plants Used:
Tara, Chestnut, Madder, Indigo (Frozen Streams, Window Jars, Habor Town, I wish I had a River), Pomegranate, Fustic, Marigold and Osage.
*Please note that Steamy Kitchen Window spin #4 is close to the original spin for the Big Cozy. The yarn is beautiful and soft and the color is lovely but if you have previously purchased Steamy Kitchen Window and you are looking for more, it will not be the same color. Thank you for supporting local fiber!
