 This soft, smooth wool/nylon sockyarn has been dyed in a traditional way, a tie-dye process. Historically the yarn was dyed either blue or red; the red looked like flames so it was called “Flame Yarn” or flammegarn.
The resulting fabric has flecks of light, something like a tweed but with a perfectly smooth fabric surface. It holds cables and stitch definition well in many types of patterning, but is lovely in smooth stockinette as well.

Robin's-Egg Flammegarn
Today I bring the flammegarn tradition up to date with modern dyes and yarns. This color is a medium-to-light turquoise... bold yet gentle, and flattering to almost anyone. Knit a bit of spring with this shade!
(Small image at left shows typical patterning when knit, in blueberry... skein you will receive is the colorway shown in large image at right. Monitor color may differ from skein, it matches on my screen. Color satisfaction guaranteed.)
