nest | fingering is our glorious non-superwash blend of 50% silk / 50% merino. Perfect for luxurious shawls and scarves...

We're changing the way we work/dye over the course of summer 2026 (see my journal for an explanation) and I'm working my way through all the bare wool stock dyeing impromptu OOAK batches and shades. Once they're gone, they're gone!

We dye our yarn in small batches using a combination of kettle dyeing for semi-solid and tonal shades and low-immersion and hand-painting for variegated shades that will 'pool' or 'flash' depending on gauge. Even within a dye batch, each skein is unique as a result of our dyeing techniques.

Hand wash in cool water with gentle wool detergent, do not wring, dry away from direct heat/sunlight. As with all small-batch, hand-dyed yarn that doesn't have dye lots, we also recommend knitting alternate rows from two skeins when working on larger projects to avoid noticeable changes between skeins.

We use professional acid dyes with good light and wash fastness and do our best to exhaust every dye bath and reuse water wherever possible to reduce any further environmental impact. Occasionally a small amount of 'loose' dye may remain in the yarn after rinsing (most likely with deeply saturated shades) and we always recommend hand washing in very cool water and pre-washing your yarn separately if you are intending to mix light and dark shades in a single garment/project.
