Blueberry Haze – Hand-Spun Merino | Sport/DK Weight
There's a particular blue that only exists in late July, when the wild blueberries on a West Virginia hillside are just past ripe, and the summer haze has settled in over the ridgeline. The berries are not quite cobalt. Not quite indigo. Something in between, with an overripe purple slipping in, like it wasn't invited but showed up anyway.
You know the color. You've seen it. Now you can knit with it.
Blueberry Haze is hand-spun right here in Sissonville, WV, from 100% ultra-fine Merino chosen for its luminous, high-luster sheen and that buttery, cloud-soft feel you simply cannot argue with. 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 shifting color, cobalt into indigo into playful purple, that a commercial mill doesn't have the patience to replicate. Honestly, neither would I, except that I love this too much to rush it.
The result is a skein that earns its place in your project queue. Rich, moody, and quietly showstopping — the kind of yarn that makes a shawl look like you planned every single color shift. The kind your grandkids fight over someday.
This is that skein.
