Bluing


Embracing our moody blue phase this time around, bluing captures the dirty, gritty nature of this process at its finest. A warm grey base blended with both warm and cool blues and a splash of black, this tonal has DEPTH.

Bluing (or blueing) is the process by which steel is partially protected against the effects of rust using a black oxide coating. It is named as such after the blue-black appearance of the resulting protective finish.  It involves an electrochemical conversion resulting from oxidizing with iron on the surface, selectively forming magnetite

Due to the nature of hand-dyed yarn, skeins can differ slightly both between and within dye lots. Alternating skeins is recommended.

While I do my best to both capture and portray accurate colourways, please note that there may be differences due to monitors.

Despite fully exhausting, washing and rinsing all skeins, to remove excess dye, some bleeding may still occur. Hand washing yarn is recommended - in cold water to limit the bleeding - and lay flat to dry.


Please note that all yarn is dyed in a pet-friendly household.
