Our classic worsted wool yarn in gorgeous kettle dyed colors. The subtle variations in the color are created by kettle dyeing the yarn. This is a special method of hand dyeing yarn in which the yarn is completely submersed in a single color of dye in a large kettle and then manipulated a little to encourage the dye to saturate more deeply in some areas than others. This effect provides more depth to your finished knits than just a solid. Stockinette will really show off the color gradations, but these same gradations will give an even richer look to textured knits. Wool of the Andes is spun and plied carefully to achieve a wonderfully balanced twist. A sturdy yet soft yarn with excellent stitch definition and heirloom durability.

Note: The beauty of kettle dyed yarn is its uniqueness and depth of color. Because of the artisan small-batch dyeing process, there will be slight variations of color from skein to skein. For larger projects we recommend alternating between skeins throughout the project to avoid unwanted striping or pooling.

Also available in solid, heather and twist colors and as natural undyed yarn so you can create your own colorways. $3.49 /ball Compare to other brands at $14.50 / ball!
