4 skeins of Red Coral (a.k.a. Pimpelliese on Ravelry) — brilliant blue-leaning true red, solid. When it's gone, it's gone.
A clean, brilliant red from Blue Heron Yarns Sock Plus — Red Coral (the studio also listed this colourway as Pimpelliese on Ravelry) is the bright, blue-leaning saturated red the Eastern Shore studio painted when they wanted a true flag-red rather than a brick or a wine. It pairs cleanly with whites, blacks, denim, and ochres, and reads as confident rather than loud at fingering weight.
This listing is for one full skein. We have four skeins of Red Coral in stock — enough for a small adult sweater, a generous shawl, or four pairs of socks. Each skein is 4 oz / 420 yards per the printed Blue Heron 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. Blue Heron has now closed. These skeins came direct from the dyer as the studio wound down — not destash, not a secondary market — the last of their Sock Plus base, full stop.
