      These are Limited Edition colours in some of our favourite Artyarns bases: Merino Cloud, Double Mohair, Silky Twist & Beaded Silk & Sequins!

      Every purchase includes exclusive patterns designed to bring out the yarn colours. Once a colour sells out it’s retired and will never be repeated.

      "Say hello to our gorgeous and unusual November inspiration colour Neon Sky!  Thank you to Milli Abrams of Tribe Yarns in the UK for helping us design this ombre dyed colourway.  Hot pinks and lively blues, greens and mustards, as well as pale pink.  Great for all kinds of designs including popular Mizzoni sweaters and shawls."

      Every skein is lovingly dyed in Artyarns' unique ombre style, by artisans with brushes.

      1. Neon Sky Shawl by Iris Schreier: knit with 1 skein of Merino Cloud in Neon Sky, this triangle design is worked in simple stockinette, and ends with 3 easy lace panels, that really show off the stripes in this colourway.

      2. Neon Sky Cowl by Lucinda Iglesias of Mont Tricot: This is s a fun and simple 1-skein cowl using Merino Cloud in Neon Sky.  Knit in the round as a tube and ends are joined with a twist to create a möbius.  It has a little bit of chevron and lots of stockinette.

      3. Neon Sky Cowboy Cowl by Danielle Courier of Knitique: This cowl uses a simple slip-stitch pattern using 1 skein of Silky Twist in Neon Sky and 1 skein of Beaded Silk & Sequins in a contrasting darker shade. We recommend 931 or 292.

      Care:
      We recommend hand washing non-superwash, hand-dyed yarns.

      Although Artyarns are very consistent with their colourways, all hand-painted skeins are unique. If your project uses more than one skein, you may want to alternate / stripe the skeins.

      Block / wash in lukewarm water with some wool wash, and lay flat to dry. Artyarns set their dyes with steaming and thoroughly rinsing but differing water temperatures and chemicals can cause some dye to bleed in any yarn.

      If you're pairing light and dark colours, we recommend washing your swatch first to test for colour-fastness.
