Duckweed is a wonderfully lively combination of pale mint, creamy ivory, lime green, deep forest green, and flashes of turquoise, with scattered flecks of warm brown and gold. There's a surprising amount of color packed into these skeins, ranging from bright, almost luminous greens to dark, earthy patches.

The combination of light and dark should create plenty of movement in the finished fabric, with brighter green sections appearing against softer, creamy areas. An excellent choice for anyone who enjoys an interesting variegated yarn with a distinctly botanical personality.

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.
