A layered tonal in a deep, cool gray with a subtle blue undertone.

Basalt is one of the most common rock types on Earth and is often associated with volcanic activity, contributing to the unique geology of desert regions. Basalt is known for its durability and resistance to weathering, making it an enduring symbol of strength and stability in the natural world.

See below for base yarn options and details!

Pairs With: Anything in the Southwest Collection! I especially love this one with Big Bend National Park or Antelope Canyon. Or pair with Sunbaked for a classic gray/mustard combo!

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.
