very limited edition | 200 yards | approx. 100 grams | worsted weight
Three-ply naturally dark grey wool with a subtle shimmer from hand-dyed Tussah silk
95% Wool: locally grown North Country Cheviot with 5% Tussah silk, dyed in-house in shades of fuschia, blue, and yellow. The result is a yarn that appears almost metallic—quietly iridescent, like the sheen on a smoky crystal.
This batch is rich, earthy, and elegant, with the Cheviot’s natural luster and bounce shining through. Scoured, carded, pin-drafted, and spun at Junction Fiber Mill.

Care
Wet-Blocking Care Instructions
Your project isn’t truly complete until it’s had its first wash! Here’s how to help our yarns reach their full potential:
- Fill a sink or basin with cold water.
- Add a small amount of no-rinse wool wash.
- Submerge your knitted item, gently squeezing out any air bubbles to ensure it stays fully underwater.
- Soak for up to 10 minutes. While our dyes are tested for colorfastness, some dyes are notoriously difficult to set and may release a small amount of excess color. Using cold water, gentle wool wash, and a short soak will help prevent color redeposit on light-colored fibers.
- Drain the water.
- Gently lift your knitted item from the water and remove excess moisture by rolling it between clean, dry towels with light pressure.
- Lay flat and shape to air dry.
For projects with contrasting colors, we recommend steam blocking to avoid any color transfer.
