Dawn

New! Denise of Bayron Handmade just released a new pattern, Beret of Light, knit out of Dawn. To celebrate, we have created a new color, Beret. Taking only one skein of yarn, select your favorite color and cast-on!

Dawn is hands-down one of our most special yarns and one of the most interesting yarns on the market. About 90 miles away is Vreseis, Sally Fox's farm dedicated to raising organic, bio-dynamic wool and cotton to create the finest, most Earth friendly textiles. Sally has been dedicated to preserving and growing naturally-colored cotton for forty years. Dawn's gorgeous, array of natural undyed colors (Lighthouse, Milk & Honey, Seal, Compass, Oyster, and Brown Sugar) represent the height of beauty produced by California-grown fibers.

One of the most stunning colors is Compass, almost too beautiful to dye upon, is a rich shade of brown wool with flecks of red cotton. All colors that have been dyed, are done so using leaves and roots, in our Oakland studio. This yarn has bee milled organically at a cooperative in Vermont.

Dawn's composition of wool and cotton makes a wonderful fabric for those who want to knit and wear wool, but enjoy a cooler, cotton-based fabric. 

This yarn is also available in the Diamondback Hat Kit, Indoorsy Tunic Kit, Renee Sweater Kit, and Cleo Tank Kit.

Please note, this is a special project that we are unable to create again. We encourage you to purchase all of the yarn required to make your intended project.

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.
