Deep plum folds into itself like crushed velvet under low light — rich, shadowed, almost black at the edges. But look closer. There’s warmth there. A wine-dark glow beneath the surface, like a secret pressed into fabric.
Bruised Velvet is softness with history. It’s late-night conversations, lipstick on a glass rim, the kind of beauty that lingers long after the music fades. Dark. Lush. A little dangerous.
It doesn’t beg for attention. It owns the room anyway.
Hand dyed in small batches, each skein carries subtle tonal shifts from smoky violet to inky plum — no two exactly alike, each one steeped in its own quiet drama.
SPECIFICATIONS
80% Superwash Merino wool and 20% Nylon
Approximately 1,900 yards
Fingering Weight
This versatile 80/20 blend is the "gold standard" of fingering weight yarns, balancing the warmth and breathability of wool with the durability of nylon.
What can I make with this yarn?
Durable Hand-Knit Socks: The 20% nylon content provides the necessary strength to prevent holes in the heels and toes, while the superwash wool ensures they stay soft and comfortable.
Intricate Shawls & Wraps: With excellent stitch definition, this yarn is perfect for showing off complex lace patterns or delicate cables. It drapes beautifully after blocking.
Lightweight Garments: Create breathable sweaters, cardigans, or camisoles that are perfect for layering. The fingering weight ensures your finished piece isn't too bulky.
Baby & Children’s Wear: Because it is superwash (machine washable!), it is a practical choice for baby blankets, sweaters, and hats that need frequent cleaning.
Accessories: This yarn is ideal for lightweight mittens, beanies, or elegant cowls that feel soft against the skin without being itchy.
Care Tip: While the superwash treatment allows for machine washing on a gentle cycle, we recommend laying your items flat to dry to preserve the vibrant color and shape for years to come.
