Arbutus Fingering · After the Storm
The sea, hoarder of things once lost, cradled in its embrace. The storm does not ask. From the depths it steals, reveals. Fleetingly. Treasure transformed. Waiting, it lies, but for who? Joyfully found, or reclaimed, back to the depths. Whose hand will reach first?
After the Storm.
What the sea transformed, the storm revealed. Four colours swirling gently through a single skein, each settling in its own place. The same storm, different shores.
On MCN Fingering, the four colours of After the Storm flow softly into one another, pooling gently. The transitions between teal, sage, pale aqua and the natural colour of the yarn – gradual, easy. The colours share the space rather than claim it, the particular quality of water finding its way back to calm.
MCN Fingering is a blend of 80% superwash merino, 10% extra soft cashmere, and 10% nylon, spun to a fingering weight. The merino provides bounce and structure; the cashmere adds a perceptible softness and quiet luxury to the hand; the nylon brings resilience. A yarn that wears as well as it feels.
Dyed in small batches in Nanoose Bay, British Columbia, using acid dyes on protein fibre. Each skein is individually hand-dyed. Each skein is a unique expression of the colourway – colours pool and arrange differently from skein to skein. No two are identical.

Machine washable on a gentle wool cycle, or hand wash in cool water. Lay flat to dry, away from direct sunlight.
Each skein is hand-dyed in small batches, so subtle variations in colour and saturation are part of the character of these yarns. For larger projects, we recommend purchasing skeins from the same dye lot where possible, noted on the label, or alternating between lots as you work for the most even result.
