bluebell is a timeless, classy light clear blue. bluebell is a clear, classic true blue. it has a type of fresh, crisp vibe. it has a slight, and i mean slight~ touch of green pigment which gives it a more rounded personality. if it didn’t have this little touch, it would feel flat, dull, etc. it was developed thoughtfully and is one of my favorite blues i’ve ever created!
color theory/season/etc from a personal stylist+cosmetologist’s view~ the only group i wouldn’t recommend bluebell to would be those that are very warm toned with low contrast in their features. it is a true clear blue~ cool, but no grey undertones and not ashy. it is light but not too light/pastel and not too clear where it’s like a stark primary blue, just made lighter. very balanced, very curated.
as far as vibrancy/chroma ~ bluebell is light to mid-toned. it’s not pale enough to be considered pastel. it is on the lighter side of the middle tones. it is not too vibrant, which can wash out those with less contrast, and also not too soft~ which can feel lifeless on those with high contrast. a perfect balance.
my tonals are always very consistent in tone, as each dye pigment is measured to the microgram, for accurate repeatability. my tonal method is tried and true and creates colorways that are more “solid”. a typical handdyed “tonal” commonly creates unintentional striping in garments due to uneven dye saturation, which can disturb stitch patterns~ i created a method for my tonals that prioritizes even distribution, and creates a beautiful, cohesive fabric, therefore my tonals behave more like solids. some variation is normal and expected, and is the art of handdyed yarn~but it should be minor. you are in good hands here 🫶🏻
about the photos~ my photos are not edited, they are taken under daylight mimicking studio lighting. while monitors can vary slightly, my photos are reliable. i’m so proud to say that out of thousands of skeins that have left my hands, not a single person has told me they didn’t look like the photos. i feel so proud about this!
