Blue Heron Yarns Cotton Chenille Worsted Yarn, Midnight Black Saturated True Black, No Undertone, Discontinued

A deep, ink-dark skein of Blue Heron Yarns Cotton Chenille in Midnight Black — the saturated, no-undertone black the Eastern Shore studio painted on their cotton-chenille base when they wanted a knit that read as proper black, not warm charcoal, under gallery light. Cotton chenille is plush, matte, and surprisingly heavy in the hand — it sits like velvet thrown over the needle and blooms into a dense, lightly-pile fabric on a US 7–9.

This listing is for one full skein. We have two skeins of Midnight Black in stock; buy one or both. Each skein is 8 oz / 725 yards per the printed band.

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.
