Every quarter we create a new yarn based on our walks at that time of year. The winter colorway, Sundogs, is based on halos that can appear around the sun when there are ice crystals in the atmosphere. We see them most often on cold, winter walks.
This yarn has a sliver of a rainbow which flanks a very bright sun and is bordered by winter blue skies. The bold yellow sun is in the center, and the rainbow of ice crystals builds outward in both directions. After purple, there is a gradient of dusty sky blue from light to dark.
Whenever I see sundogs, my eyes are usually overwhelmed by how bright the sun is, combined with the reflecting and magnifying power of the ice crystals. I think this yarn captures the way the powerful light blurs colors and boundaries in the winter sky.
25g minis are available with the default color being the darker sky blue. Other colors are available upon request. Just a leave a note in your cart with which color you'd like. Please use this listing to add dyed-to-order 25g skeins.

Yarn is dyed and heat set with professional acid dyes. All effort is made to exhaust the dyes, but some color bleeding may occur on initial washings. Cold water, gentle is recommended. Multiple skeins are available under this listing and, due to the nature of hand dying, colors may vary slightly from the yarn pictured.
