1 skein of Poppy — tomato-red, magenta, cherry, shadow plum. When it's gone, it's gone.
A skein of Blue Heron Yarns Cotton/Rayon Seed in unknown red and plum colorway — the painterly tomato-red, magenta, cherry and shadow-plum colourway on Blue Heron’s signature Cotton/Rayon Seed base. Poppy is one of the studio’s most quoted colourways: it photographs orange in one light and rich magenta in another, because the actual hand-painting moves across both reds in a single skein. The Seed base is the warm-weather workhorse — a cotton-and-rayon blend with built-in seed-stitch slubs that pick up the paint and give the knit visible texture even before you choose a stitch.
This listing is for one full skein of Cotton/Rayon Seed. This skein is 8 oz / 450 yards per the hand-tagged spec on the shop band (suggested needles US 6–7).

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.
