Three beautiful options
From the SpaceCadet's Log:
The moss in the brook that runs past the SpaceCadet studio looks its most intense in the winter. That might seem counterintuitive, because the cold weather makes every other type of vegetation pale and fade and die away. But there is something about the moss clinging to the rocks along the edge of the water that is different. Maybe it’s because its green is intensified by the patches of snow and ice around it, or maybe it’s just that the paleness of every other green in the vicinity makes it appear more intense but, either way, the result is almost breathtaking.
Inspired by that lovely winter moss, we’ve dyed this collection of gorgeous greens. And to really up the intensity, each of them started first as blues.
For the main colour in your parcel, we created two blues, a deep, rich teal, and a softer, paler dusty blue. We layered the latter along most of the length of the skeins, leaving a little natural colour here and there. Then we dipped one end of them into the teal to create a pop. While the yarns had spent some time soaking in the hot dyebath, we mixed up a very soft, very yellow-y green and, lifting the hot skeins out of the pots, submerged them in the new colour.
The change was immediate: the dusty blue became a rustic mossy green, the teal transformed into an aqua, and the undyed spaces took on the original hue of the green. Finally, as the dyebath was reaching temperature, we squirted over a splodge of purple (yes, purple) that instantly turned a rich brown.
The result is lovely, natural colourway that will knit or crochet up into a calico of both bright and muted shades that perfectly evoke the Winter Moss in the stream beside the studio.
For the coordinating colourways, we mixed up the same colours but distributed them differently on the skeins. Our painterly colourway, River Rock, blends the hues along its length, letting them flow into one another to create beautifully blended shades. While our semi-solid, Lichenous, brings all the focus to that stunning aqua-teal, with just the tiniest hints of the other hues to bring out the colour.
