The skein reads as walnut-brown shifting through a rose-pink stripe and back into golden-brown with quiet purple shadows. Dye lot is hand-marked 6A on the original band; natural-dye recipes shift batch to batch, so this exact colour can't be repeated.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis listing is for 1 skein of Ancient Threads Farm Tri in color Lac, Black Walnut \u0026amp; Logwood Purple — dye lot 6A.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the yarn:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTri is Ancient Threads Farm's small-batch superwash merino fingering — a smooth 3-ply, 481 yards in a 100 g skein, with the round, springy hand that takes plant dye well without the colour going chalky in the knit fabric. The natural-dye palette is hand-painted: lac for the rose-pink, black walnut for the brown, logwood for the purple, all over a clean superwash merino base that washes the way commercial sock yarn washes (machine wool cycle, lay flat). Gauge sits at 7–8 sts\/inch on US 1–3 (2.25–3.25 mm). Yardage is generous for a fingering skein — enough for a deep cowl, a shawlette, or paired with a coordinating solid for a colour-blocked accessory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFingering weight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComposition:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% superwash merino\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYardage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 481 yds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeedle:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.25–3.25 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3-ply\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e Machine wash gentle (wool cycle), lay flat to dry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout Ancient Threads Farm Tri:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAncient Threads Farm is a small fibre farm in upstate New York — Melrose, NY — running since 1996 from a flock of Shetland and Icelandic sheep. The farm's hand-dye work is done on small commercial bases like this Tri merino fingering and sold mainly through their Etsy shop (AncthdsFarm). What makes their work distinctive is the natural-dye practice: every colourway is mixed from plant pigments — lac, black walnut, logwood, indigo, madder — and the dye recipe for this skein is hand-written on the band. Natural plant dyes don't repeat the way acid dyes do; the colour shifts with the season, the water, the mordant, and the specific batch of dyestuff. A skein marked dye lot 6A is one of a small handful from a single dye day, and the next 6A won't read the same.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ancient Threads Farm (Melrose, NY)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42788124885063,"sku":"STO-ID-4872da41","price":22.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0676\/9305\/1975\/files\/BC1F64E0-6C8D-4A4E-B216-B9A349D9937B_9567d57a-d494-4b4e-a95e-a75548ccb8dd.jpeg?v=1778902818","url":"https:\/\/storybook-yarns.myshopify.com\/products\/ancient-threads-farm-tri-lac-black-walnut-logwood-purple-dye-lot-6a","provider":"Storybook Yarns","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
