About the yarn:

Dancing Leaf Dyeworks' Shimmy is Dalis Davidson's 75% superwash merino / 25% nylon fingering — 463 yd / 100 g, plied as a smooth round sock base that holds saturated hand-paint without the colour going muddy in the knit fabric. Gauge sits at 7–9 sts/inch on US 1–3 (2.25–3.25 mm). This skein layers soft lilac, sage green, deep eggplant purple, and a quiet cream across the strand — the four-tone painting is hand-applied in long irregular runs, so the colour blocks blend at the join lines and the cream reads as breathing room between the saturated sections. Generous sock or shawlette yardage from a single skein.

About Dancing Leaf Dyeworks Shimmy:

Dancing Leaf Dyeworks (dancingleafdyeworks.com) is Dalis Davidson's small indie dye studio — running a tight lineup of merino-nylon and BFL fingering bases hand-painted in small batches. Her signature on the Shimmy base is the deliberately-blank colourway field: Dalis paints each Shimmy as a one-of-one, so naming a colourway would imply repeatability she's not going to honour. Working from a Dancing Leaf skein is closer to working from an artisan handspun than from a named dye-house colourway — you finish the project and the exact next skein isn't coming. This skein is in original-twist condition with the studio band still on, colourway field blank as intended.
