Color Categories:
Annual Themed Collection: 2024’s Collection is called The Glimmerglass Cycle and is a meditation on the always changing waters of Otsego Lake in central NY.
Permanent Collection: Signature colors that will make an appearance every year, regardless of themed collections. Dark Sea Yarn likes to give back, so each color in the permanent collection will have a designated charity to which a percentage of the sales will be donated.
Castaways: WILSONNNNN! These are sailing away fast because there’s only one (or a small batch). Experiments, one-offs, dye-pot cleansers, previous collection leftovers. Perfect for a small project.
*A Note About Dye Lots: There really aren’t any. I have one pot, which means two skeins max at a time. I have recipes, but as is the case with most hand dyed yarn, please expect some variation due to human influence/error.
IMPORTANT ALLERGY INFORMATION: Dark Sea Yarn shares a home with a cat. While the cat is mostly kept away from the yarn, it’s her home and there is some inevitable contact. If you have a severe cat allergy, this yarn is not for you at this time.
