Creatures of the Night

“To know the dark, go dark. 
Go without sight, 
and find that the dark, too, 
blooms and sings, 
and is traveled by dark feet and dark wings.” 
- Wendell Berry 

As you sit in the dark of night, you lose your sight but what you lost you have seemingly gained in your ears. The stiller you are, the more life you hear around you.

The night world is full of life, even as so much of the world sleeps. Coyotes roam, foxes scurry, the sky is filled with wings. 

A special animal rules the evening hours. These nocturnal creatures live for star light, crave the moon, are at peace in the darkness. 

Creatures of the Night is based on the nocturnal animals of the world, it’s filled with an array of oranges and browns, with a speckle of black.

All skeins are hand-dyed with care in a smoke-free and pet-free home. Please note that while all skeins are dyed together, every skein of yarn is unique and there may be some slight variation between them. After dyeing, all yarn is washed and rinsed thoroughly, however, a small amount of color bleeding may still occur during the first wash. 

For best care, please gently hand wash in cold water with a wool wash and lay flat to dry. Store yarn in an area away from direct sunlight to help maintain color. 

This yarn is READY TO SHIP.

All photographs are taken in natural light, and I try to keep the editing to a minimum, but colors may vary from monitor to monitor. 

The wool used in this yarn is ethically produced from sheep that have NOT been mulesed.
