Arbutus Fingering · Evening Heather
The light on the hills above the bay, late in the season, when the heather is past its peak and the colour has deepened into something between bloom and dusk. Not bright. Settled. The particular violet of the hour before dark, when the sky still holds colour but the day has already let go.
Evening Heather holds both. Neither cool nor warm, it carries the blue of the sky and the red of the earth. Somewhere between treeline and tide.
On MCN Fingering, Evening Heather speaks without interference. The violet reads true, merino giving it energy and presence, cashmere softening the hand into something quieter beneath. Two things working together. Neither announcing itself.
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. Tonal variation between skeins is natural and part of what makes each piece unique.

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.
