This luxe yarn looks as good as it sounds. It is roughly two-thirds speckled custard mixed with about one-third caramelized sugar. This design makes assigned pooling projects easy or will knit or crochet up normally with pretty little hits of color throughout. Super fun and yet elegant, too. It coordinates nicely with several of our other colorways and could be a wonderful choice for a fade project.
A limited quantity is ready to ship now.
The extra-fine merino wool (19.5 microns) is especially cushy and feels great on sensitive skin. It's blended with a bit of nylon for extra durability -- perfect for long-wearing projects like fingerless gloves, scarves, and socks.
Created by us in our home state of Washington using professional commercial dyes that won't fade or bleed, because we steam-set them and then wash and rinse each one thoroughly.
Would you like this colorway in DK or Bulky? You can pre-order them for shipping by the end of November.

PATTERN RECOMMENDATIONS:
- Soho Orchid -- free assigned pooling knitting pattern by Zuzana
- Pop Shawl -- assigned pooling knitting pattern by Dawn Barker
- Crescent Puff -- assigned pooling crochet pattern by Knitting Fairy Godmother
- Sock Arms -- a non-assigned pooling knitting pattern works wonderfully with this yarn, too, and Creme Brulee would be perfect as the sleeves in this pattern (it will look like organic stripes when knitting it up...pair with our Butterscotch as the body color for a knock-out look). Pattern by Stephanie Lotven.
