Mountain Laurel flowers grace our hills in springtime. Not as showy as the azaleas, mountain laurel still rewards a closer look, with little twisted balloon buds opening up into starry flowers with shades of pink. Our Mountain Laurel colorway dives into the richness of those pinks, with a soft base color and lots of deeper pinks, purples, and burgundies. This colorway is a Babette: every skein and every batch is a bit different, but we have a recipe and a method for 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! Yet Somewhere between a true laceweight and a fingering weight, we think of Yet as a 'rustic' lace yarn, even though it's a sophisticated merino and silk blend. The slightly heavier grist of this yarn means it's easy to work with, especially for newer lace knitters. Yet wears well and continues to look good year after year. Try it in shawls and lightweight sweaters.
