strong, violent
One of two words for red in the Irish language, rua is the color of natural red hair, chestnut horses, copper, fox-fur, and rust. Rich with brown and orange undertones, this colorway pairs well with the donn and buí colorways in our series. Shifts between copper and russet with ruddy overtones.

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.
