A deep brown with the glow of polished wood, old violin lacquer, and the edge of sepia ink that’s been sitting in the sun for a hundred years. Walnut Varnish reads classic from across the room, but up close it has warmth and dimension, like varnish catching candlelight.

Pairs well with:
Lampblack (for sharp contrast and moody depth), Faded Rosewater (for soft antique warmth), Verdigris Moss (for a still life palette)

Yarn Base — Patagonia DK

Note:

After dyeing, all skeins are thoroughly rinsed and soaked in tepid water with lanolin-enriched Eucalan wool wash. They’re then spun in an industrial spin dryer to remove excess water before air-drying naturally in the Fiber for the People® dye studio.

Hand-dyed yarn naturally varies—both between dye lots and within the same lot. This is part of its charm. Please refer closely to the photos in this listing for the most accurate representation of how the colorway appears on this base.

Minor variation between skeins is expected. Any skeins that fall noticeably outside the standard for this colorway will be listed separately as Misfits.

Colorways vary significantly across bases due to differences in ply, fiber content, and whether the yarn is Superwash-treated. Non-Superwash bases tend to produce softer, more blended results—speckles become watercolor-like, and variegation appears more subtle.

Care: Hand-wash in cool water with gentle wool wash. Always air dry.
