Description

For the goth kitties out there

“Who Broke This?” is a violet semi-solid yarn with magenta undertones and discreet darker violet speckles here and there. If you’re owned by more than one cat, the name of this yarn should be something you’re very familiar with.

It is dyed in my Gaia Sock base, which is a great squishy all-rounder for any type of project asking for sock/fingering weight wool.

This yarn is part of the Cattitude Collection and is also available in Kitten Lace (mohair/silk lace weight), as shown in the last photo – this can be purchased in a separate listing.

Because designer indie-dyed yarns are created in small batches, differences are to be expected between them (and often even in the same batch). Because of this, I advise you buy as many skeins as needed for your project and alternate them to avoid pooling and colour mismatches. Find out more in our Fibre Bases and Info page.

This is a repeatable colourway. If you’d like a larger quantity of skeins, please contact me and I’ll be happy to custom dye it for you.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS

  • Keep yarn in a dry room away from direct sunlight. Airtight boxes are recommended. Don’t place anything heavy on top of the skein to avoid squishing it.
  • I recommend adding lavender sachets to the storage container for pest prevention.
  • Hand wash your finished product separately using wool-specific detergents, dry flat. Hand dyed fibres may bleed a little in the first couple of washes.
