A light wool base traced with olive, gold, and shadowed plum speckles—organic, uneven, and quietly wild. This one feels like following a trail that only exists if you’re paying attention.

Pairs well with:
• Kindling
• Stone or sand neutrals
• Textured stitches that let the yarn breathe

NOTE: These colorways are one of a kind and will not be repeated. Individual skeins will vary in speckle placement and intensity. When using more than one skein, alternating skeins is strongly recommended to ensure an even overall fabric. Speckles on non-superwash Corriedale appear softer and more integrated into the fiber than on treated yarns. This is intentional and part of the character of the base.

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.
