Indigo dyed deep blue wool yarn "Evening blue". Worsted weight. 50 g / 1.76 oz

Worsted-weight 100% wool yarn in “Evening Blue,” hand-dyed with natural indigo.

A classic deep blue with a gentle hint of grey, this shade reminds me of the sky just after sunset, when the last light slowly disappears. Deep and understated, it works beautifully on its own or alongside lighter blues and natural wool shades.

Natural indigo has colored textiles across cultures for centuries. The dyeing process takes patience and care, building the blue through successive dips in the indigo vat. I dye each skein by hand in our garden, using wool from a small local wool mill and working in small quantities.

Choosing plant-dyed yarn means celebrating natural materials, handmade traditions, and the beauty of a craft passed down through generations.

 Why naturally dyed wool is a better option:

• Durable: Wool fibers are strong and resilient, making garments last longer than those made from synthetic fibers such as acrylic.

• Naturally Odor-Resistant: Wool has natural antimicrobial properties that resist odors, keeping garments fresher for longer.

• Moisture-Wicking: Wool naturally absorbs and wicks away moisture, helping to keep you dry and comfortable in varying climates.

• Nature-Friendly: Wool is biodegradable and can be easily composted, leaving no waste when an item is no longer wearable.
