Superfine Merino 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 Superfine Fingering, the violet arrives with tonal variation – lighter areas and darker pooling within the same skein, dye finding its own movement across the fine twist. Vivid, warm, alive with subtle variation. Natural bounce in the hand.
Superfine Fingering is 100% superwash 17-micron merino, spun to a fingering weight. At 17 microns this is among the finest merino available, with a softness and loft that sets it apart from standard merino bases. The characteristic bounce and resilience of the fine merino give it energy in the hand and excellent stitch definition on the needle.
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.

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.
