Autumn Majesty – Hand-Spun Merino | Sport/DK Weight
There's about a two-week window every year when the Appalachians just show off. Burgundy so deep it's almost velvet. Orange that has no business being that vivid. And just when you think you've seen it all, a blush of sunrise pink slips in at the edges.
Someone had to put that in a skein. Might as well be me.
Autumn Majesty is handspun from ultra-fine Malabrigo Merino chosen for its beauty and that cloud-soft, next-to-skin feel you can't fake. Every yard is guided slowly through the wheel by hand, building a 2-ply Sport/DK weight with a rhythmic, organic twist and a depth of color that a commercial mill genuinely cannot replicate, not because they won't, but because the process itself is the magic.
The colorway runs hot and rich: touches of deep velvet burgundy, vibrant harvest orange, and soft whispers of sunrise pink on a creamy white base. High contrast, multidimensional, and gloriously warm. The kind of finished piece that makes people set down their coffee and ask, "Wait — did you make that?"
Yes. Yes, you did.
