Emerald Isles – Hand Dyed Green Yarn Inspired by Ireland
Emerald Isles is one of our most enchanting hand dyed yarns, inspired by the lush, rolling greens of the Irish countryside. After a life-changing knitting retreat in Ireland with designer Maggie Jackson, I was moved to capture the spirit of those misty hills and mossy cliffs in fiber.
This green yarn features gentle color shifts that create subtle depth and interest, making it perfect for projects where you want a bit of variation without the harshness of solid shades. Each skein is dyed in-house using Jacquard Acid Dyes, known for their vibrant colors and exceptional quality, ensuring your finished piece looks as stunning as it feels.
If you're searching for Irish yarn that brings both natural beauty and artisan character to your work, Emerald Isles is the perfect choice. It knits and crochets beautifully into scarves, hats, cowls, and more. We especially love it in our Lattice Slouchy Hat—just select a worsted weight base yarn to get started!
- Colorway: Rich Greens with Subtle Tonal Shifts
- Dye Method: Hand dyed in-store by Gena Hester using Jacquard Acid Dyes

Bring a little piece of Ireland into your next project with this evocative hand dyed green yarn.
Add Emerald Isles to your cart and let the beauty of the landscape flow through your stitches.
