This is the darker side of Kick Drum.

Still grounded in deep black, but with a more subdued, shadowy strike of color, this version leans into mood, atmosphere, and quiet intensity. The color flashes are more blended, more muted, and more mysterious.

Because this is dyed on my Natural Sock base, the dye moves slowly and organically through the fiber, creating layered transitions and softer edges between colors.

Both versions of Kick Drum are equally beautiful. They just tell different stories.

This listing is for the darker, more understated take.

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.
