Beyond
This combination of dark cerulean, grey purple and this muted red is a trend that appears again and again in Tolkien’s own artwork and one that I had to capture in yarn form. This stunning yet unusual colour combination really exemplifies the collection to me - the excitement of adventure and the dangers that lay ahead.
Please be aware that this colour will form beautiful micro-stripes in socks and will be prone to pooling in larger projects so we recommend alternating skeins to mitigate the effect.

Please Note
- All yarn is hand dyed in a smoke-free, cat-friendly environment. (I don’t let him play with the yarn, though he’d love to!)
- Please wind into a ball or cake before use.
- While every effort is made to colour match photos, please be aware that colours may vary between monitors.
- As these skeins are hand dyed, we recommend alternating them through a larger project to avoid an obvious change when a new skein is used. A small amount of dye run is to be expected in the first wash; please wash on its own for the first time.
Washing Advice
With all our yarn bases, we recommend hand washing cold and laying flat to dry. We recommend using a small amount of wool wash, find our favourite here.
A very small amount of dye run is possible, though unlikely, especially with very rich, dark or bright colours, so we do recommend washing on it's own the first time.
