Opal

Opals are subtle but full of unique colors. This colorway is inspired by the opals in my grandmother’s ring that she gave to me as a graduation gift. The ring was my ‘something old’ at my wedding, as my grandmother always told me that someone she worked with in the 1940’s gave it to her when she got engaged to my grandfather, and that that lady’s husband had given it to her years before. I have never been able to verify the story—it’s an excellent tale—but her ring is one of my favorite pieces.

My yarns are hand dyed in small batches and every effort is made to duplicate colorways. However, the nature of hand dyeing often leads to variations between and within batches. To minimize the effect of such variation in your knitting or crocheting, it is recommended that you alternate skeins for a more uniform finished product. I make every effort to accurately represent the colors of my yarns. Read item descriptions carefully and note that due to settings on different monitors, the colors might appear different on your screen. This listing is per skein, even though more than one skein may be pictured.
