Butterfly is a hand-dyed yarn colorway that captures the gentle magic of spring wings. Soft pinks and oranges blend seamlessly with sky blues, creating a playful yet harmonious pal ette that feels light, airy, and whimsical. Perfect for projects where a touch of color and charm is desired. Hand dyed in small batches, each skein features subtle tonal variations that add depth and movement to your stitches. Butterfly shines in shawls, scarves, hats, and garments where a dreamy, multicolored effect can really take center stage. As with all hand dyed yarns, slight variations between skeins are part of their handmade charm. For larger projects, alternating skeins is recommended for a smooth, cohesive look.

Hand-dyed yarns naturally have slight shifts in tone and saturation, and switching skeins as you go helps those subtle variations blend beautifully for a more consistent, cohesive fabric. You can even use this technique with a single-skein project: wind the skein into two balls and alternate between them each row. If you’re working from a center-pull cake, just use both the inside and outside strand to alternate rows. Perfect For: Lightweight sweaters, scarves, hats, mittens, shawls, and year-round home décor projects. Care Instructions Wash only when necessary — fine yarn rarely needs frequent cleaning. When your piece does need care, hand-soak in cool water with a mild wool wash. Avoid detergent, wringing, agitation, or machine washing (even on delicate cycles). Press gently in a towel to remove excess water and lay flat to dry away from direct sunlight. A small amount of color release is normal with hand-dyed yarns, especially with deeply saturated colorways. This will lessen over time and does not affect the quality of your finished piece. Cherish your handmade item — with gentle care, it will last a lifetime. Show more
