Working my way through lots of odds and ends in the dye studio I came across a handful of 50g skeins of pightle | DK. So, I've dyed four complimentary/contrasting shades with the Pressed Flowers Kerchief in mind. This fun little free pattern (here on Ravelry) by Amy Christoffers uses her lovely flower motif and slipped stitch pattern in a funky little kerchief that uses 50g each of two shades.

Intentionally designed to work in any of the six possible combinations of four shades (see instagram for all the possible combos!), choose two from lilac, citrine, raspberry, and olive grab some 4.00mm needles and off you go! (Of course, you could choose to knit something else with any/all of these shades but we think the kerchief is the perfect summer knit...)

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.

Although pightle | DK is spun from superwash fibre, we recommend hand washing in cool water to preserve the vibrancy of the dye and, 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.
