Pressed Lilacs

Pressed Lilacs feels like a memory tucked away and rediscovered later. Soft lavender and cool silver drift together, blushed with quiet pinks and scattered with inky marks, like petals flattened between the pages of a well-loved book. There’s a stillness to it — gentle, nostalgic, and a little bittersweet.

Dyed by hand in small batches, this yarn is made for thoughtful stitches and pieces that hold meaning. It’s for keeping things close, for honoring what once bloomed, and for the beauty that remains long after the moment has passed.

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.
