Orchid Fantasia - Holston - Babette

For our SAFF 2022 show colorway, we've indulged in some fantasy florals. Each purplish-pink skein is speckled with varying amounts of blue, brown, and darker purple.

You can see all the yarns dyed in this colorway by visiting our Orchid Fantasia colorway collection.

This yarn is speckled: it has a tonal-colored background shade peppered with small dark specks and spots of dye. Each skein is different in terms of speckle distribution and placement. We will do our best to choose multiple skeins that coordinate well.

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!
