Happy Anniversary, Verb! November 10th is our 13th anniversary of moving into our San Pablo Avenue space, and to celebrate we created a new colorway for you!
Crimson Queen is inspired by fall leaves, changing from golden yellow, to warm brown, to deep red. One of our favorite trees are the delicate Japanese Maples found in many Bay Area gardens. When the sunlight shines through the maple leaves at the end of a cool fall day, color inspiration abounds!
Three different dye recipes are used to create this color, and each skein goes through three dyeing steps before it is ready to be washed. As you knit, you'll watch each pop of gold work its way onto your needles, and the ever changing nature of the color means you'll always be enchanted by how the colors interplay on the fabric you are creating.
Thank you so much for your support over the years and for celebrating our anniversary with us!

This colorway is available on three yarn bases:
Even Tinier Annapurna (565 yards / 112g), a next-to-skin-soft combination of merino wool and cashmere with a beautiful drape. Use one skein to knit the by Andrea Mowry (you can see sneak peeks of it in the photos) or any other light fingering weight shawl.
Frond (50g / 459 yards), a radiant beam of halo and glow, due to its content of 72% kid mohair and 28% silk. This is wonderful held along with another yarn or knit into a beautiful cloud on its own.
Floating - 70% Alpaca + 20% Silk +10% Cashmere = Our softest yarn, with 437 yards / 100g, you can use it to create a single skein scarf or shawl. Or combine it with another yarn, to create an even larger piece, such as by Romi Hill!
