100% Shetland Wool Fingering Weight Yarn | Sunset Orange

$25.00

Sunset Orange, a muted peach-orange, naturally dyed with a madder exhaust bath and light annatto in West Virginia. 100% Shetland wool from Maryland, 2-ply, fingering weight. 400 yds / 366 m per 100 g.

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. Lay flat to dry out of direct sunlight.

Inspired by the soft color of sunset clouds and the evening sky as day fades to dusk.

Not a bright peach and not a pink, but the muted peach-orange of twilight. A classic Shetland for a yoke sweater, a stranded hat or warm socks in knitting, or a crocheted shawl with the quiet warmth of embers.
