Birthday Gift - Big Silk - Babette

Happy Birthday, Babs! This colorway is a true Birthday Gift - developed and dyed by our lead dyer, Ivy, this bright and joyful colorway means Babs gets to take a break for her birthday this year. Birthday Gift has variable shades of royal purple, leafy green, and orange, with hints of salmon pink here and there.

This colorway is a Babette: every skein and every batch is a bit different, but Babs has a method of recreating these artistic colorways. The photograph is an example of representative skeins from this colorway; the skein you receive may differ somewhat. If you have any questions about the color, please give us a call or email to ask for a photo - we are always happy to describe our current batch for you to make sure it meets your needs!

Big Silk

Big and luxurious, Big Silk combines the bounce and warmth of Merino wool with the shine and drape of cultivated silk. The generous yardage means Big Silk is great for big cowls, shawls, and scarves - one skein is enough for most worsted-weight accessory projects. Big Silk is a web exclusive yarn and does not travel with us to shows.
