There's a particular kind of afternoon in autumn where the light turns everything amber and golden and you just want to stop and stare at it. Falling Leaves is that afternoon in yarn form. Deep burnished orange, rich tobacco brown, and flashes of bright golden yellow move through the skein in long, warm waves. It's earthy and intense in some sections, then suddenly a burst of brighter orange breaks through, just like catching a glimpse of sunlight through the canopy on a crisp October walk. The depth of colour here is remarkable, with each twist of the skein revealing something slightly different underneath. 100% merino wool, hand-dyed. This is a colourway that was made for the season it's named after. Cosy sweaters, chunky cowls, and generous shawls would all be right at home here. The rich tonal variation means textured stitches will really sing, with the shifting colour adding dimension that a solid yarn simply couldn't. Falling Leaves is the colourway you cast on when the nights start drawing in and you want your project to feel like a warm drink and a walk through the woods.
