Crushed Peony

Crushed Peony blooms in that quiet moment when petals fall softly back into the earth, their color deepened by memory and touch. This yarn drifts from tender blush into rich berry and wine, like a peony pressed between the pages of a well-loved book. Romantic but grounded, it carries the warmth of late summer gardens and the hush of dusk settling over flowers past their peak. Spun for makers who love depth and softness intertwined, Crushed Peony turns every stitch into something gently worn, deeply felt, and beautifully lasting.

100% superwash merino wool yarn is incredibly soft, springy, and durable, making it a versatile choice for a variety of projects that require both next-to-skin comfort and easy care. 

Recommended Projects

• Garments & Sweaters: Ideal for sweaters, cardigans, and other everyday clothing items because it's soft, breathable, and easy to wash.
• Baby & Children's Wear: Since these items need frequent cleaning, the machine-washable nature of superwash wool makes it a practical choice for blankets, hats, and booties.
• Accessories: The yarn's smooth finish and excellent stitch definition are great for intricate shawls, scarves, hats, mittens, and cowls. 

Care Instructions

• Machine Wash: Items can typically be machine washed on a cool or cold gentle cycle using a mild, wool-specific detergent.
• Drying: For best results and to prevent stretching, lay flat to dry, gently pressing out excess water with a towel. Some sources mention low-tumble drying is possible, but air drying is safest.
• Avoid: Do not use bleach, fabric softeners, or high heat. Avoid wringing or twisting the wet garment.
