Yarn Base

Jökulsárlón, or the Glacier Lagoon in English, is a blue, white and stark gray speckled variegate representing the farthest-east attraction I visited in Iceland! It makes a lovely subtle fade pair with Blue Lagoon. 

The Glacier Lagoon is located at the foot of a large glacier in southeast Iceland, and its short cove is full of glittering, diamond-like little icebergs drifting away to the black sand beach and the sea. Apparently there are lots of seals there in the winter, but I visited in September so we only saw the ice!

Our yarns are hand-dyed with professional fiber reactive dyes on soft, eco-friendly vegan fibers. We do our best to represent yarn colors accurately in the listing photos, but please keep in mind that hand-dyed yarn inherently varies a bit from skein to skein, and different monitors may display colors differently.

Yarn is made in a smoke-free, pet-free environment. A scented soap is used at the beginning of the dye process on all bases except Anacostia and Severn, but is rinsed repeatedly after this; yarns otherwise do not contain fragrances.

To reduce our impact on the planet, our packaging is made of 100% plastic-free natural materials. Please reuse, recycle, or compost every piece!

Care Instructions

To keep finished objects looking their best, hand-wash in cool water and lay flat to dry.

Each skein is hand-washed thoroughly after dyeing, but please keep in mind that minimal bleeding or crocking can still occur on first wash. A prewash is recommended for projects using multiple colors, especially saturated colors.

As with all hand-dyed yarns, especially plant fibers, slight variations should be expected between batches and even within dye lots. We strongly advise purchasing all skeins for a project at the same time to ensure they come from the same dye lot. It is also best practice to alternate skeins as you work.
