"Land of the Sky" is an old nickname for Asheville, NC. We've combined some of our favorite wine reds and purples with a touch of deep green in this variegated colorway.Through Nov ember 11, 2024, we'll donate 50% of our sales of Land of the Sky to Beloved Asheville, in support of local recovery efforts from Hurricane Helene.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!Katahdin This light fingering weight yarn is perfect for fine gauge sweaters and large shawls.
