Sold out.
(Need more skeins than are in stock? Go ahead
and order and we'll dye them up fresh for you!)
I can use a lot of words for this yarn but none of them do it justice.
Seriously, this yarn is impossible to describe! But I can tell you this: when I'm knitting with it, my hands keep reminding me how much they loooove working it.
They kept saying to me, "Mmmmm-mmmm! What is this yarn? What is this?!? It's so soft, it's so delicious!" And then I'd look down and see (again) that it's Callisto and think, "Ah... yes, of course."
Alpaca for warmth, softness, and a delightfully subtle halo. Silk for incredible sheen. And linen for absolutely stunning drape.
But there are just no words to describe what they become when you combine all three.
There's just the way it feels against your skin, the way you fall in love with it... over and over and over again.

How does this yarn take colour? Because Callisto is so rich in silk and linen, it takes colour just slightly softer than the pictures on the left
At SpaceCadet, we passionately believe that knitting and crocheting make people happier deep down inside and that nothing does that more than working with gorgeous, vibrant yarn. For us, dyeing is a cosmic adventure -- a wonderful process of mixing each shade by hand from primaries and seeing where the colour takes us. The result is yarn that is as exciting for you as it is for us. Come with us and explore the farthest reaches of SpaceCadet colour!
Colour note for Zoot: Zoot is an electric turquoise so incredibly intense that it is literally off the scale of what a camera can capture so, while the image you see here is not true to the colour at all, it's not one to be missed!
Very Important Stuff: All hand-dyed yarns can vary between and within dyelots and their true beauty is the individuality in every skein. Please be sure to order enough yarn for your project, to reduce the chance of differences between your skeins. If you'd prefer to reduce any variation in your project, we recommend alternating skeins every two rows in your project. Please remember that our photos are as accurate as possible, but the colours you see also depend on your computer monitor's settings. Where there are multiple skeins pictured, each is sold separately.
