Heathered Dusk- Handspun Art Yarn

$48.00

Description
Heathered Dusk is a soft, expressive coil yarn spun in layered purples and gentle pinks, echoing fading light over late-season hills. Curls wrap along a cotton core, creating movement and texture without heaviness. Lofty in the hand and quietly sculptural, this yarn is designed to add depth—whether worked on its own or used as a statement accent.

While the colorway can be revisited, the nature of this art yarn means each skein is truly one of a kind.

New to Art Yarn?

If you’re new to art yarn, you’re not alone—and you’re doing it right already.

Art yarn is meant to be expressive rather than uniform. Small variations in thickness, curl, and texture are part of what make it special. This yarn doesn’t need strict gauge or precision; it works best when you stay flexible and let the structure guide your hands.

If you’re unsure where to start, simple projects like hats or small woven panels are ideal. They let you experience the texture without overthinking technique—and they show off what art yarn does best.

Care & Handling

This yarn is handspun and should be treated gently to preserve its texture.

  • Hand wash only in cool water with a gentle wool wash

  • Do not agitate or wring

  • Gently squeeze out excess water and lay flat to dry

  • Avoid hanging, as the weight may stretch the coils

Because this is a coil-style art yarn, some movement in the curls over time is natural and part of its character.
