Lichen is a beautifully subdued combination of silvery sage, olive, soft cream, and muted moss green, with delicate touches of earthy brown and darker green throughout. Compared with the more colorful variegated batches in this update, this one is considerably quieter, but no less interesting.

The close relationship between the colors gives Lichen a wonderfully organic appearance, with subtle shifts in tone that should translate into a soft, textured-looking fabric. A lovely choice for something wearable, understated, and a little bit rustic in appearance.

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.
