Roses & Ashes – Hand Dyed Speckled Yarn in Red, Pink & Grey
Roses & Ashes is a moody, modern hand dyed yarn dyed in-house by indie dyer Gena Hester. This colorway blends bold reds and pinks with a wash of silvery grey for a soft charcoal effect. The result is a beautifully balanced red yarn with a smoky twist of grey yarn, perfect for projects that need to make a statement.
This speckled yarn retains plenty of creamy white in the background, allowing the vibrant colors to shine without overwhelming your stitches. It’s perfect for shawls, scarves, hats, or anything that deserves a little drama. The speckled texture also helps to cleverly disguise small mistakes—because frogging isn't anyone’s idea of fun.
We use Jacquard Acid Dyes for their rich tones and expansive color range, ensuring that each skein is saturated with lasting color and artisan quality. Every hank is dyed by hand, so no two are exactly alike.
