Patchwork, September 2026 Color of the Month

Patchwork is the Color of the Month for September 2026! This colorway is dyed by taking the naturally colored yarn and laying colors on top, one at a time, letting the heat set each color before the next is added. This colorway has a lot of different dyes layered in including turquoise blue, bronze, yellow, ecru, garnet, pink, baby blue, and aqua- to create lots of short bursts of colors like a gorgeous patchwork quilt. This limited edition coloway is a variegated kettle dyed colorway with short pops of color that creates lots of depth of color without any significant pooling. if you’re looking to pair Patchwork with another colorway, consider Concord, Neptune, Gourd, Lichen, Forage, Seafoam, Lavender, Peony, Golden Flax or Paprika. Patchwork will be available throughout the month of September on Nimble Sock, Plush Single, and Plush DK. Please use the drop down menu to choose the base that you would like to order.

Superwash yarn is technically machine washable in a gentle cycle with like colors, I do however recommend hand washing your knits made with superwash yarn as the washer will tug and pull at your knits causing them to lose their shape or worse rip. I was my knits in the sink using luke warm water and Long Winter Farm Sweater Soap. This soap has lanolin in it which protects the natural fibers. I spot wash any stains and allow my sweater to soak for approximately 30 minutes. Rinse your sweater with cool water if necessary and them gently wring out any extra water, I use my top load washer spin cycle this this, but you can use a towel as well. After the excess water is removed, lay your garment flat to air dry. This fiber was handdyed by ontheround using professional quality acid dyes. I dye my yarn in small batches and no skein will be 100% the same- that's what makes working with hand dyed yarn so fun! I do my very best to accurately photograph my yarns but please note that not all monitors are the same. My yarn is made in my smoke-free, pet free studio in Rockland Maine.
