gloomy, secret
A surprisingly nuanced charcoal-purple. Dubh is the color of black hair, the night, raven’s feathers, and coal. Shimmering with blue, purple, and brown undertones in the right light, this colorway offers a subtle chance to stand out on the dark end of the spectrum.

This colorway is part of our Dathanna series, inspired by the Irish language and its words for colors. Kettle-dyed with carefully-chosen undertones, we’ve made poetic interpretations of the subtle nuances of dathanna, or colors, as they’re understood and used as Gaeilge. These colorways are all more-or-less subtly variegated, so if you’re trying to avoid color pooling, we recommend alternating two skeins in your project. We do our best to hand-match skeins in each order, but due to our small dye batches and the natural movement of dye in a kettle, we can’t guarantee exact color alignment matches from skein to skein. Please wash your yarn or finished objects in cold water with a designated wool wash to avoid bleeding.
