Petrified Forest - Katahdin 600 - Babette

Soft, creamy shades of purplish brown with random flashes of mineral reds and yellow-green evoke these fantastic fossils from Arizona’s Painted Desert.

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!

Katahdin 600

This light fingering weight yarn is perfect for fine gauge sweaters and large shawls. If you don't need the full 1750-yard skein of Katahdin, these 600 yard skeins might be the perfect choice! Katahdin can be knit at a heavy laceweight or light fingering gauge and is 100% superwash Bluefaced Leicester wool. BFL is a perfect canvas for Babs’ colors, giving the yarn a rich depth and slightly glossy finish.
