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 sturdy everyday sock yarn that also suits hats, mittens and colorwork in knitting, or a crocheted cowl or baby blanket in soft pink. The nylon keeps it durable.

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.
