Shimmer 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 Shimmer Fingering, a thread of gold Stellina catches the light within the four colours of After the Storm – the way sunlight catches on wet sand. The Stellina moves through the teal and aqua and sage, threading light through colour, the way light moves through water. Brief, bright, then gone.
Shimmer Fingering is a blend of 80% superwash merino, 10% extra soft cashmere, and 10% gold Stellina, spun to a fingering weight. The Stellina thread is woven through the yarn rather than sitting on the surface, giving a shimmer that is subtle and internal rather than decorative. The cashmere softens the hand; the merino provides structure and bounce. A yarn for occasions, and for the everyday moments that deserve to feel like one.
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.
