A nearly black chocolate-plum with deep wine and aubergine undertones. Moody, saturated, and decidedly witchy without wandering into novelty territory.

Nightshade is the darkest solid in this autumn palette and makes a beautiful foundation for tonal projects or for pairing with something more variegated and unruly.

75% fine Non-Superwash merino / 25% baby alpaca

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.
