Berlin - Sojourn - Babette

Originally created for the 2012 Miss Babs Knitting Tour.

My inspiration photo for this colorway was a set of night pictures of Berlin with all the bright lights of cars, neon, buildings, and all sorts of signs. The colors are sometimes garish and bright, but at the same time magical! The beauty of the gray and black base underlying the other colors (which can include yellow, red, green, and blue) is that it will mute and soften the brightness so that they all play nice in the knitting.

Each skein is unique, just as each person's experience of the same city is unique.

-Babs

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.

This colorway is also highly variable, so feel free to give us a call for a current description of what we have, or if you have any questions about the color.

Sojourn

As of 2021, we have a new version of Sojourn that we love even more than the original! With the same fiber blend of cashmere and silk, Sojourn will continue to be our go-to yarn for luxurious accessories. The new version has a 3-ply construction, making it sleeker and softer in the hand with less halo for greater stitch definition.
