We currently offer three color ranges, Flux, Ombré and Semi-Solid. Ombré and Flux are available in fifty-four and twelve colorways respectively. We offer another thirty semi-solid colors in palettes that easily coordinate with our gradients. We use locally sourced acid dyes throughout as they offer the greatest consistency and are gentle to our environment. To achieve the long color runs in our Flux and Ombré yarns we have developed our own dyeing process. Though labor intensive, the hands-on nature of the process allows us to ensure an even consistency in the yarn and colors over multiple dye lots. Our method also means that though our yarns will match very well from one dye lot to the next, no two balls of yarn will ever be the same.

ombrÉ (aka gradients)
Smooth, slow gradations are the signature of the Ombré color range.
Ombré yarns come in:
  • 200 gram balls in mulesing-free US Merino fingering Yarn Bombs
  • 150 gram balls in super bulky US Wool (the only Super Bulky gradient on the market)
  • 100 gram balls in our mulesing-free US Merino Shawl Balls
  • 75 gram balls in US wool or US merino/silk worsted, sport and US wool or alpaca/silk lace ​
  • 25 gram balls in mulesing-free US Merino gradient Minikins.
We carefully transition five or more colors/shades per ball making for very long, yet still dramatic color changes. We suggest working from alternate ends of each ball as you go for smooth color transitions since every ball will begin and end with different colors. Fifty four color palettes currently available.

FLux (aka self-striping)

Each 50 gram ball or 100 gram Merino Shawl Ball begins and ends with the same color, making for easy transitions from one ball to the next and leading to less waste. Flux Handpaints will have a base of about 8 colors per ball, though the dyes blend together and form additional colors. Each ball is unique but we dye in batches of at least 24, ensuring overall continuity through sweater quantities within a single dye lot.Twelve color palettes available in lace, fingering, sport and worsted weight wool and wool blends.

Semi-solids

​Coordinating with our Flux and Ombré lines is our range of 30 semi-solids. Each semi-solid will have subtle variations in shading and tone adding a depth and richness to the color not seen in mass-production yarns. Offered in 50 gram balls in our lace, sock, sport and worsted weight yarns and in 100 gram worsted, sport and Merino Shawl Balls to match our Flux and Ombré lines. Combining our semi-solids with our other Handpaints  give you a range of possibilities to fulfill your wildest crafting dreams!
