Sleepy Lizard

Sleepy Lizard

Sleepy Lizard is a hand-dyed gradient yarn available in fingering & DK weights. See yarn base specs below.

Inspired by the blue-tongued lizard, this colourway transitions from dark brown through golden yellow and warm rust, finishing in soft blue-grey. Colours pop in and out as they blend, bringing depth and movement to the gradient. Your yarn comes wound into a cake, ready to use.

Last remaining stock. Ready to ship. This colourway is being discontinued and is not available for dye to order.

Yarn Base Specs:

The sample of the gradients knitted up. The sample is 27 grams and 100 yard we do not sell this size it is just a sample so you can see how the gradient fade looks knitted up. The Twin Set are wound together and dye in the same dye pan so they will match up as much as hand dye can. Each gradient fade is dye individually, I do strive to have them match but they are all individual.
