Lights Out - Katahdin - Babette

Lights Out is our commemorative show colorway for the 2023 Stitches West show. This variegated colorway features inky teal blue, shades of gray and black, and splashes of magenta.

You can see all the yarns dyed in this colorway by visiting our Lights Out colorway collection.

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!
