Hoarfrost

Hoarfrost

Hoarfrost has a warm crush, sand, and grey base topped with shades of charcoal, nickel, and a delicious yellow-leaning toffee brown - and of course, a smattering of gorgeous black, brown, and olive speckling.

Shown on the following bases:
Bïfrost Bulky
Winter Worsted
Deep Freeze DK
Snowdrift Sport
Snowflake Sock
.

Hoarfrost is a type of feathery frost that occurs when the water vapour in the air comes into contact with solid surfaces that are already below freezing point. Ice crystals form immediately, and with additional moisture in the air, the interlocking crystal patterns of frost become more intricate and much larger, building up to a greater depth on trees, signs, fences, etc.

This collection was created in collaboration with the amazing Devon @stitches.and.science - it's her beautiful face you see in the flatlay! All of the inspiration photos are from her and her colleague, from their time in Greenland and on Baffin Island during their studies. She has a Ph.D. in geological studies and is currently working in climate policy.

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.
