A Fiber for the People classic inspired by the colors of weathered and oxidized iron: rust orange, mineral gray, brown, muted teal, plum, red, and flashes of pale stone.

Angel Rust has always been one of my favorite highly variegated colorways, and it feels especially at home in this autumn collection. Nearly every shade in the surrounding palette seems to turn up somewhere inside it.

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.
