A saturated plum purple with darkened undertones and flashes of magenta warmth that bloom in the light. It feels lush, dramatic, and just a little unexpected, with that rich dried fruit, wine stain, twilight sort of depth. As part of the Lucky Strike family, this skein was dyed from reclaimed leftover dye and unexhausted color in the pot, making it both a practical and beautiful answer to waste.

Pairs well with:
Warm Sand (for balance), Mustardroot (for warmth and contrast), Smoked Violet (for a moody tonal palette)

Yarn Base — Patagonia DK
• 100% Patagonia Woolen Spun Merino Wool
• DK Weight — 3 ply
• 270 yds / 247 m per 100 g

Note:

After dyeing, all skeins are thoroughly rinsed and soaked in tepid water with lanolin-enriched Eucalan wool wash. They’re then spun in an industrial spin dryer to remove excess water before air-drying naturally in the Fiber for the People® dye studio.

Hand-dyed yarn naturally varies—both between dye lots and within the same lot. This is part of its charm. Please refer closely to the photos in this listing for the most accurate representation of how the colorway appears on this base.

Minor variation between skeins is expected. Any skeins that fall noticeably outside the standard for this colorway will be listed separately as Misfits.

Colorways vary significantly across bases due to differences in ply, fiber content, and whether the yarn is Superwash-treated. Non-Superwash bases tend to produce softer, more blended results—speckles become watercolor-like, and variegation appears more subtle.

Care: Hand-wash in cool water with gentle wool wash. Always air dry.
