Dyed on 100% superwash Polwarth fingering, this portion of the Naturalist Field Guide collection leans a little quieter and a little more refined. The palette moves through deep water, softened green, pale bone, warm apricot, weathered ash, and bark brown, giving this group a calm, grounded feel with just enough contrast to stay interesting.

Polwarth has a soft, smooth hand with a gentle glow that makes these shades feel especially polished on a fingering weight base. This is a lovely choice for shawls, socks, lightweight garments, and accessories where you want softness, drape, and beautiful color clarity. Choose your preferred colorway from the variant list below.

Base: 100% superwash Polwarth
Weight: Fingering / 4-ply

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.
