Inspired by the first blush of apple blossoms in a West Virginia orchard.
A pale, warm pink, soft and clear, closer to skin tone than to rose. A durable 4-ply worsted that holds up to washing and wearing: a cozy hat and mitten set or cardigan in knitting, or a crocheted beanie, cowl or throw in soft pink.

Care
Hand wash cold, lay flat to dry out of direct sunlight. All of our colorways are tonal – with shifts in color from light to dark as part of the natural dyeing process. Colors and tones may vary from the images online. Pre-wash in cold water – by hand – before use, as natural dyes may release excess color during the first several washes.
