This month’s theme is Getaway- Sensory delight awaits on every horizon: rich spices and strong painted hues mingle with softer clay, stone, and alabaster.
Now let’s squish the yarn!

Like concentrated crushed paint powders, this true orange tone brings a burst of energy to any stash or project!
This multi-toned lavender is cast by a light shade of gray throughout- creating a hazy, soft, and easy-to-wear hue.
Reminiscent of unwinding in the sand, this colorway embraces the natural beauty of minimally dyed to undyed fibers.

Forest green and raspberry dance together and face into a soft ecru.
A soft mauve and striking rust come together to create a subtle but complex natural colorway.
