May Morning - Killington 350 - Babette

May Morning evokes the freshness of soaring spring skies. Rich celestial blues shade to soft clouds, and each skein is speckled with deeper cobalt and ultramarine. (Some skeins may have occasional green, purple, or red spots; this is considered part of the colorway.)

You can see all the yarns dyed in this colorway by visiting our May Morning 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!
