Blue Heron Yarns Brushed Wool — Heather (5 oz / 275 yd, Worsted, Last from the Shop)

A bramble-bright skein of Blue Heron Yarns Brushed Wool in Heather — the painterly wine, plum, mulberry and oak gold colourway brushed up to a soft, full halo. Brushed wool sits between regular worsted and proper mohair on the needle: it has the spine of wool with a little of the glow of a halo yarn, and it blooms into a dense, lightly fuzzy fabric that holds stitch definition better than most halo yarns do.

This listing is for one full skein. We have two skeins of Heather in stock; buy one or both. Each skein is 5 oz / 275 yards per the handwritten band. Inventory tracks down as skeins sell.

About Blue Heron Yarns. Blue Heron Yarns was founded on Maryland’s Eastern Shore in 1995 by Demian Savits and his mother Barbara Stone — three decades of small-batch, hand-painted yarn for knitters, crocheters, and weavers. The studio worked out of Easton, Maryland, and built a quiet cult following on the painterly, multi-tonal colourways that pool and blend like watercolour rather than fight you on the needle. The shop has now closed. These skeins came out of the physical store on its way out — not destash, not a secondary market — the last of this base in this colourway, full stop.
