About this Colorway
The Lonely Mountain is named for a subterranean Dwarven city in The Lord of the Rings. The snow-topped, craggy mountain is rich with minerals and tales of dragons and all the creatures of Middle-Earth. Cream, gray and brown make this the perfect neutral gradient worth all the gold in Smaug's cache.
This gradient is one of our Panoramic gradients - gorgeous, hand-dyed, gradient yarn in saturated colors with several color transitions throughout the cake.
Notes about Knitcircus Yarns
Because of our unique dyeing process, many of our darker colors appear heathered, with small light spots sprinkled throughout. This heathering is normal. Our yarns are colored using professional-grade acid dyes. We’ve made every effort to photograph the color accurately, but appearance may vary depending on your monitor settings.
About our Yarn Bases

- Medium socks - A medium socks set has 2 identical cakes that total 75g/300yd of fingering weight yarn. This makes a crew sock for women's size 6-9.
