A grounded golden ochre with earthy undertones. Antique Gold is warm without being brassy and feels especially at home in woolen spun yarns and textured stitches. It brings depth and cohesion to colorwork and multi-skein projects.

Pairs well with:
Garnet, Teal Heirloom, and Rose Quartz. This color acts as an anchor and pairs easily with both warm and cool tones.

Yarn Base: Corrie Fingering

• 100% Corriedale wool

• Woolen spun

• 2 ply

• 410 yards / 100 grams

Corrie Fingering’s structure allows this color to read rich and dimensional, especially in cables and textured patterns.

Why Corriedale?
Corriedale wool is known for its balance. It is softer than many traditional longwools while remaining far more durable than fine wools bred only for softness. It resists sagging, holds its shape, and wears beautifully over time. In a woolen spun yarn like Corrie, Corriedale shines by providing warmth, structure, and longevity without heaviness. This is a yarn meant to be used, not babied.

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.
