Riverside – Hand-dyed Luxury Yarn in Blue Hues (DK Weight)

Step right down to the riverbank. Riverside is an exclusive, hand-dyed wool yarn in a deep, flowing blue gradient, shifting between the darkest, melancholic depths and the clear glimmers of light on the water's surface.

This yarn is a tribute to the Nordic tone and is directly inspired by Agnes Obel's iconic music video "Riverside". The song's rolling piano riff and atmospheric visuals have been directly transformed into the dye pots in my workshop. The result is a vibrant play of colors that unfolds beautifully, whether you choose to knit or crochet with it.

The yarn is based on a soft and durable wool blend, making it perfect for luxurious everyday knitwear, soft shawls, sweaters, or durable, unique socks.

Knitted and Crocheted Swatch (See images):

To make it easy for you to visualize the finished result, I have made both a knitted swatch and a crocheted swatch of the Riverside yarn. Since the yarn is hand-dyed in small batches, the colors will distribute organically and uniquely in your work, giving your creative project a truly unique and professional expression.

Washing Instructions:

To best care for the hand-dyed hues and the natural fibers of the wool, it is recommended to hand wash the finished project in cool water with a good wool soap and let it dry flat.

Note: As this is unique hand-dyed yarn in micro-batches, it is recommended to purchase enough yarn for your entire project at once, as subsequent batches may vary slightly in shade.
