Inspired by the red maples of the Adirondacks, among the first trees to turn each fall.
A vibrant red 2-ply that is strong enough for socks and soft enough for a shawl: a pair of statement socks or a colorwork hat in knitting, or a crocheted shawlette that brings knitters and crocheters together.

Did you know?
Red maple is one of the few Adirondack hardwoods that can grow with its roots under water, even in marshes. It is also one of the first trees to turn in autumn, in bright scarlet and burgundy.
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.
