Ocean Jasper is famous for its unpredictable color swirls and color patterns, particularly the many small orbs in its matrix, which appear as circles or eyes on cut sections. It is this dance of coloration that attracts collectors to this popular gemstone. Our Ocean Jasper features shades of blue teal, rust, and gold over soft cream and gray. This colorway is a Babette: every skein and every batch is a bit different, but Babs has a method of recreating these artistic colorways. The photograph is an example of representative skeins from this colorway; the skein you receive may differ somewhat. If you have any questions about the color, please give us a call or email to ask for a photo - we are always happy to describe our current batch for you to make sure it meets your needs! Big Silk Big and luxurious, Big Silk combines the bounce and warmth of Merino wool with the shine and drape of cultivated silk. The generous yardage means Big Silk is great for big cowls, shawls, and scarves - one skein is enough for most worsted-weight accessory projects. Big Silk is a web exclusive yarn and does not travel with us to shows.
