Colour Description
"They said "How long can you hang around?"
I said a week maybe two
Just until my skin turns brown
Then I'm going home to California,
California I'm coming home"
'California', Joni Mitchell, 1971
California gets a few mentions in Joni's songs and also features in her artwork significantly too. Listening to the song 'California', from which the lyrics above are taken, I was inspired to create a warm colourway celebrating her love of this patch of earth, the tan of her skin and wood of her guitar.
This colourway is part of the Goddess of Folk Collection, check out some of the visual inspiration here.
Small batch hand-dyed.
Yarn Description
Soft, strong and lustrous with a superior drape, Bluefaced Leicester yarn is perfect for most projects.
225m per 100g
Small batch, hand-dyed yarn from my little studio in Lower Hutt, Aotearoa/New Zealand. Everything, from sourcing the yarn to shipping, is done with love and care by hand. The nature of hand-dyed yarn is that no two skeins are exactly the same, creating beautifully nuanced colourways.
I source finest quality, fully traceable and mulesing-free, ethically, sustainably farmed yarns from New Zealand and abroad.
The dyes I use are made in Australia and New Zealand. They are acid dyes that are used for dyeing protein-based fibre (such as wool and silk). I take every care to use only the quantities necessary to create my colourways. This means that the dyepot is fully exhausted when the dyeing is complete.
