Indigo dyed greyish blue wool yarn "Mystic navy". Worsted weight. 50 g / 1.76 oz

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

This deep, greyish blue brings to mind distant mountains fading into the evening mist. Its muted, thoughtful tone pairs beautifully with natural neutrals and earthy colors, adding depth and quiet elegance to your knitting, crochet, or weaving.

Indigo has been used to dye textiles for thousands of years, and working with this remarkable plant is a way of keeping an ancient craft alive. I dye each skein by hand in our garden, in small batches, using wool from a small local wool mill. Every batch has its own character, with subtle variations that make plant-dyed yarn so special.

A beautiful choice for those who appreciate natural materials, traditional crafts, and a closer connection to nature.

 Why naturally dyed wool is a better option:

• Breathable: Natural wool fiber allows air to circulate, keeping you comfortable by regulating your body temperature. It keeps you warm in cold weather and cool in warm conditions.

• 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.

• Dyed with plants: Naturally dyed wool ties us to the earth and centuries of tradition, allowing us to be part of an ancient craft. Each piece carries the legacy of natural dyeing, rich with history and beauty.
