hazel olive is one of my most interesting developments ever. only advanced dyes used, hazel olive is a green toned neutral but is developed using opposites on the color wheel for perfect tone, balance and depth, so they give that true hazel feeling. the sw bases are a pretty consistent olive brown, but nsw is where it gets so interesting! on nsw, the different pigments separate just enough to give you such visual interest! it has this earthy, organic look that is absolutely stunning. nsw is more tonal, you’ll notice variation in your fabric but it’s subtle, which will be great! 

color theory/season/etc from a personal stylist+cosmetologist’s view~ hazel olive is a green leaning neutral, it has a balanced green undertone so it fits warm and cool skin tones, and is medium in saturation/chroma so it doesn’t overpower those with soft features, and doesn’t dull those with strong features 

foundational info~ (same on each listing, i know it’s a lot! but it’s all valuable!)

•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! 

•accessibility collection skeins are dyed to order (so, i dye them as they come in, orders placed first are dyed first, etc)

•multiple skeins come from the same pans always. base info page linked here (scroll down for accessibility slides~ they are labeled) and you’ll make your base selection below! 

•the turnaround for this collection is 4-6 weeks, but if you place your order within the first day or so it’ll likely be out within a week! i will post updates on instagram on my progress and process as always :) 

•there is no change to my process for accessibility collections~ my colorways are incredibly thorough and held to very high standards, and my techniques are well rounded. the extra labor is a gift to the making community because i know what it’s like to feel priced out of the things i love. these collections are special to me, and i hope they feel helpful to you. for every person who chooses my yarn, thank you for supporting me and my family! all my love xx
