Dreamsicle Fingering Weight Yarn
- Description
- Details
We give this hand-dyed yarn a bath in creamy vanilla, and then we sprinkle it with browned butter speckles. We finish by dipping about a third in a deep, rich orange. Can you hear the popsicle truck?Â
This dyeing technique means assigned pooling is easy, or you can use it as you would any variegated yarn, which will give you bits of orange in stripey color throughout. Dreamsicle plays nice with several of our other fingering weight yarns.Â
 Patterns We Love:
- 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 Dreamsicle 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 contrast if you wish for a knock-out look). Pattern by Stephanie Lotven.
Need to understand what assigned pooling is? "How to Crochet in the "Assigned Pooling method" by J Hook Crochet provides a great explanation to both crocheters and knitters alike.Â

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.

Beautiful yarn and it will definitely blend with my existing indigo yarn that I dyed. I can now finish my Sophie shawl. Thank you
Love this one! Just as expected.
The color on this one was much more disappointing in person. Very greyed out. My other purchase was as pictured. This one was not.
Don’t judge my first pair of sox, but this yarn made a cool tiger pattern!
This yarn was a joy to knit with and it washes up well too - no fading or pilling. I loved that the tonal color shifts add interest to the stockinette portions of the pattern but don't have enough contrast that they distract from the lace.
I love the yarn and the stitch holders! They are very beautiful products. It looks a little dark. But that is just the lighting from my room.
I love working with this yarn- The color is amazing and the hat is turning out lovely!! Very happy with this purchase!
Absolutely beautiful. My second order, but by no means my last
Without a doubt the most lovely coral yarn I've ever had the pleasure of working with. It's ever so slightly tonal, and with a simple lace pattern those differences in tones just shine
Such a soft yarn base, and in such a beautiful color! I only got one skein as a test and immediately had to order more
Made a beautiful crochet ribbed beanie and it glows so well! Such a bright fun yarn. So soft and easy to work with.
The wife said it's beautiful and she wants a few more. I thought it was a set of 3 or I would have bought more. My mistake. Fast shipping and packed well. The wife is looking you up to order more. Thank you
Great product from a wonderful seller.
This hand dyed yarn is gorgeous and I will enjoy making socks for my friend for Christmas.
Thank you!

Tolle Farben, sehr gute Qualität und schnelle Zusendung. Gerne wieder!!
The yarn is beautiful. Customer service is lacking. After 3 weeks, I emailed the shop for shipping info. She never answered my email but suddenly it shipped and I received it a few days later with an apology note and some stitch markers.
Absolutely gorgeous, soft yarn, prompt shipping, great purchase! I am looking forward to knitting with these skeins.
Beautiful soft yarn can't wait to use it.
Feels amazing lovely yarn, I am looking forward to putting these into a scarf I'm making
Lovely quality yarn very hall it with service and purchase
The yarn is beautiful and the color is absolutely AMAZING! I am a yarn snob and this shop is now at the top of my list for my next purchase. Thank you!
Gorgeous yarn!!!!!🧡 Will definitely buy again!!
The yarn is very soft, and the color is nice.
The yarn is very soft, and the color is nice.
This yarn feels very soft and is a beautiful range of lilac shades. The seller let me know this batch came out very vibrant and she would be willing to get me something more understated if that's what I was searching for. Personally I love buying hand dyed yarn for this reason just because it's always a little bit of a surprise of what you're going to get. Shipping came one day earlier than estimated. I can't wait to make a pair of socks out of this!
Lovely yarn! Both to look at and to knit. So happy to have found this shop 💛
Beautiful yarn can't wait to use it to make socks for my granddaughter.
Love the color of pink. Looking forward to using it with the confetti cake yarn
