Chicago Cityscape - dyed to order

Inspired by the architecture of the city - stone and steel and glass.  Reflections of Lake Michigan and the glimmer of sunrises over the water.  Hints of patina, brick, and the black of the Hancock Building.  I put a lot into the colorway and I absolutely love how it all came together!

Dye Technique:  Adventure (speckle dyed)
Dye is applied directly to the skein allowing for pops of intense color.  Colorways are repeatable but because of the way that the color is applied every skein is completely unique.  At Destination Yarn we call these our “Adventure” colorways because creating one is an adventure!

Collection:  Chicagoland
This colorway was designed to bridge the gap between the Chicago Collection and the Art Institute collection and looks great with anything from either set!  I especially love how it works with Cassat or Lake Michigan.

For all of our hand dyed yarns we recommend that they are either washed by hand or machine washed cold, gentle cycle. Use only gentle wool wash and always lay flat to dry.

Variations between dyelots and from skein to skein are expected. It is best practice when working with hand dyed yarn to alternate skeins as you work.
