Arbutus Fingering · Old Growth
New growth at the edge of old forest. The particular yellow-green of cedar in early light, when the canopy is backlit and the light seems to come from within. Alive. Ancient.
Old Growth is that green.
Not dark. Not quiet. A colour with genuine presence, that reads differently in every light you carry it into. Forest floor and canopy, all at once.
On MCN Fingering, Old Growth arrives bright and unhurried. The yellow-green, present and clear. Merino gives energy, cashmere softens the hand. The colour surprises – brighter than the name might suggest, alive with the particular green of new cedar growth.
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.
