Additional information

Variegated Red Dahlia DK naturally dyed yarn dances across the spectrum of red tones, from coral-pink to deep crimson, echoing the way light plays across dahlia petals throughout the day. Our DK weight yarn creates subtle tonal shifts in your knitting, adding depth and visual interest without overwhelming your pattern.

Naturally-dyed using madder root, cochineal, and our farm-grown Hopi red dye amaranth, the variegation creates tonal shifts from bright coral-red through deep wine tones with subtle cream highlights. The variegation develops organically through our natural dyeing process, creating unique skeins where reds blend into rust, coral, and wine tones with threads of cream throughout. The superwash merino wool from Uruguay provides buttery softness and excellent drape, while the DK weight offers versatility for everything from lightweight sweaters to cozy accessories. The variegated colorway works beautifully in both simple stockinette (where the color shifts take center stage) and textured patterns (where shadows add extra dimension).

The superwash merino from Peru offers excellent stitch definition, soft hand, and easy care—perfect for garments and accessories that will see frequent wear and washing. This yarn holds up beautifully to the demands of everyday life while maintaining its rich natural color.

Quick-knit sweaters and cardigans
