A saturated evergreen with blue-green depth and the dark, resinous mood of pine needles in shade.

Balsam is the pine-tree-scented piece of this autumn palette. Rich enough to stand entirely on its own, but also beautiful beside rusts, browns, plums, and variegated colorways.

BASE
75% fine Non-Superwash merino / 25% baby alpaca
3-ply DK weight
248 yards / 100 grams

ABOUT HAND-DYED YARN

Each skein is dyed by hand in very small batches, so variation between skeins is part of the process. Even skeins dyed together may differ slightly in depth or placement of color. For larger projects, alternating skeins every couple of rows can help blend those natural variations.

After dyeing, yarn is thoroughly rinsed, given a final soak with wool wash, spun out, and air-dried in my studio. Some residual dye release can occasionally occur, particularly with darker or more saturated colors.

CARE

Hand wash gently in cool water using a wool-safe wash. Avoid agitation and sudden temperature changes. Lay flat to dry.
