Black Walnut is a rich, warm chocolate brown with beautiful tonal variation, moving between deep cocoa, walnut, and soft reddish chestnut. The color is earthy and saturated without feeling flat, with subtle shifts in warmth throughout the skein.

This would make a gorgeous sweater yarn, particularly for a simple, classic garment where the richness of the brown can take center stage. It also has a coordinating Kid Mohair Silk available in the same colorway for anyone who enjoys working with the two yarns held together.

LUCKY STRIKE COLORWAY

Lucky Strikes are one-of-a-kind colorways created using leftover dyes from previous batches. Because the colors are developed spontaneously using the dyes available, exact reproductions are not possible. Quantities are limited to the skeins currently available.

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.
