We just got restocked on Harrisville Daylights and Nightshades! Harrisville Nightshades is truly unique pairing a rich black wool with a hint of color, creating a shadowy blend that will produce a garment unlike any other. Daylights is identical to Nightshades, but the color palette is built on undyed cormo wool, dusted with six different colors. Combine it with Nightshades for colorwork, or use alone for a subtle nod to the base colorway. It’s a super special woolen-spun American Cormo & wool yarn! These two yarns are available on our web shop and in store.
Yarn details:
- 100% Wool, made and milled in the United States – 80% Wool / 20% Cormo
- 3.53 oz / 100 g
- 250 yards / 229m
- 22 stitches over 4 inches on US size 4-6 (3.5-4mm) needles
We want to highlight the most recent design collection from Harrisville for these two yarns: the Day for Night Collection. The beauty of these designs is that they are equally striking in either nightshades or daylights, so you can choose your favorite.
