Sweater Quantity: "Lightning & Vegas" PRE-ORDER
A gently variegated base of cream and silvery lavender, finished with gold, purple and charcoal speckles.
"Lightning & Vegas enabled me to confront the homophobia / transphobia and gender stereotypes I was constantly facing as a kid in a productive and affirming way. I really believe that was part of why I was able to stay confident in that hostile environment." - Aster
These are PRE-ORDER listings and will ship within 6-8 weeks from your order date.
While not all bases are photographed per SQ listing, skeins shown (on sock / fingering and baby suri) are representative of the beautiful colorway you will be receiving across all available bases! Non-superwash bases (mohair, suri, NSW fingering and NSW worsted) will appear softer and with more color variation than superwash bases (fingering, sock, sport, tweed, DK, worsted and bulky).

Make me last! Please hand wash in cool water with wool wash and lay flat to dry. Avoid hot water - while all dyes are set before washing and shipping, you don't want to risk any color bleeding!
Due to the nature of hand dyed yarns (and I know that's why you're here), all skeins vary slightly. I've done my best to photograph them in a way that represents what you will be getting as much as possible. If you have any color questions, just ask! Check out the "policies" and "FAQ" pages for more info.
