Pick a project to estimate

Hand-dyed in small batches, so colors shift a little between dye lots. We recommend one extra skein so you never run short mid-project.
How many skeins? Roughly: hat 1 · socks 1–2 · shawl 2–3 · adult sweater 5–7. ✦ Each colour is hand-dyed in small batches. Order your whole project at once (plus one spare) so every skein is the same dye lot.

Solara: A sunset on a skein

Meet Solara, a luminous new colorway inspired by golden sunsets and vibrant city light. A harmonious blend of soft neutrals and warm oranges, lifted by playful pops of yellow, pink, and green, Solara unfolds over a gently variegated base of white, greige, and glowing orange.
The result is a color that feels both lively and balanced—perfect for creating fabric with movement and depth. Whether you’re knitting a shawl, a pair of socks, or a lightweight accessory, Solara brings warmth and subtle drama to every stitch. It shines especially beautifully in simple projects, like Joji Locatelli’s Traveling Solo shawl, where the colors can truly take center stage.
Inspired by the colorful, bohemian energy of Barrio Bellavista in Santiago, Chile, Solara captures that same artistic spirit—vivid, expressive, and full of life.
