Zephyr - Katahdin Toes - Babette

Zephyr is a soft green-blue speckled with a scattering of coral red, magenta purple, green, and deeper blue, reminding us of skies reflected in the water and fall leaves on the breeze.

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!

Katahdin Toes

These mini skeins are perfect for colorwork and small projects. A lighter fingering weight than our Yummy 2-Ply, Katahdin is spun from the long, lustrous wool of Bluefaced Leicester sheep. BFL is a perfect canvas for Babs’ colors, giving the yarn a rich depth and slightly glossy finish. It's great for durable, fine-gauge socks, and lovely in crisp lacy shawlettes.
