Sapphire is a deep, saturated blue with a quiet teal undertone that gives it dimension without tipping into green. It’s one of those grounding colors that feels timeless — rich enough to stand alone, subtle enough to anchor marls and colorwork. In low light it's almost inky; in daylight the teal glow slips through just enough to create depth. A steady, classic shade that behaves beautifully in sweaters, accessories, and multi-skein projects.

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.
