This colorway will be discontinued once the available stock is sold out.

This is the first yarn color in our Denizens of The Hollow monthly club. Each month, we will focus on another creature that might be found here in The Hollow. We look at The Hollow as a peaceable kingdom - all creatures are welcome. And, much like Tom Bombadil’s land, many different animals stop by, from the everyday to the fantastical. Everyone can find a resting spot for a time until they are ready to move on.

This month’s colorway is The Crow. We took inspiration from an illustration by Janie Olsen pulling the reds from the toadstools and browns from the chipmunk.

Our yarns are hand dyed or hand painted using professional acid dyes. We wash each skein carefully after dying but slight bleeding may occur during first wash. Skeins may vary in color slightly so if using more than one skein of yarn in a project, please alternate skeins every few rows.

Care of yarn - superwash merino will allow you to wash your items in the washing machine but please use cold water. For best results and care, hand washing is recommended.
