Birthday Gift - Intrepid - 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!

Intrepid

Intrepid is the non-superwash worsted weight yarn we’ve been searching for. It is an all-American yarn, from the Targhee sheep, to the processing, to the dyeing. Targhee wool has a great bouncy liveliness while still being soft. Intrepid is a classic 3-ply worsted weight with a lot of body, perfect for warm and cozy textures in sweaters, hats, and more.

Content: 100% Targhee wool
