Oh Annapurna! One of Verb's first yarns and a perennial favorite to knit and crochet everything from sweaters to blankets to bed socks. Annapurna is a nice, round 3-ply yarn. Made of merino wool and cashmere, this yarn is next-to-skin soft. All colors are created using natural materials such as roots, bark, leaves and dyed in our Oakland, California studio. Our palette is inspired by our local Northern California flora and fauna such as the Pacific Ocean, redwoods, and golden grasses.

Annapurna is a fingering weight yarn so can be used in any pattern calling for that weight of yarn. Also, there are a number of patterns featuring Annapurna.

When working with yarn dyed with indigo, it is common and natural for the blue dye to rub off on one’s hands while sewing. This is called crocking. Although the goods have been washed, it takes pressured contact to release the extra indigo dye. Your handwork is part of the indigo dyeing process. The blue dye can be removed with hot water and soap. From working closely with indigo dyed materials through the making process, typically, the excess dye has been removed, and the crocking will cease.
