Yarn Information
No matter your taste in colors, we have a rainbow waiting for you! Chroma is our color-transitioning 70% superwash wool and 30% nylon blend yarn. Pair the brightest colors with your boldest projects, or choose a subdued shade for gentle waves of changing color. The colors move gently through a single ply, creating subtly blended and shaded sections. Chroma is a single ply yarn that has differences in thickness that gives a handspun look to your finished projects.
This mythical combination of colors contain a bright, almost acid yellow-green, a bright blue-violet that warms up into an indigo and deepens into a wine-colored purple.
