Metamorphosis 50g

Elevate your knitting with Metamorphosis, a soft, lustrous sport-weight blend of merino and silk. Metamorphosis combines the buttery softness of merino wool and the luxe drape of silk for the best of both worlds. With its high silk content, this yarn has a touch of sparkle!

With its round twist and next-to-skin softness, Metamorphosis is perfect for sweaters, scarves, cowls, or even socks. Use it for stitch patterns that pop, or hold it together with a strand of Frond, Soft Current, or Wild Bloom for an extra decadent fabric.

Metamorphosis is available in 50g mini skeins, making it easy to mix and match for colorwork projects or small accessories, and is available in an array of hand-dyed colors.

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.

Pattern ideas include a cute Milli Kerchief by Julie Weisenberger (ooh, stripes!), or the Desert Dweller Cowl by Jennifer Berg, for an easy and fun accessory knit.

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

ALWAYS use pH-neutral soap when blocking and washing natural dyes.

Please note the fiber content of the material you are working with, and follow the applicable instructions: 

Cotton or linen - Machine washable on cool cycle. Lay flat to dry.

Superwash Wool - Machine washable on cool cycle, though hand wash recommended. Lay flat to dry.

Wool and Wool blends - Handwash only in lukewarm water. Lay flat to dry.
