it’s the quiet hour after rain, when the city exhales and the sidewalks glisten like polished stone. Concrete softens to silver, brick deepens to smoke, and the air carries that cool mineral hush only dusk can hold. Urban Drift moves through those moments — warm taupe and weathered ash tangled with inky shadows, like footprints fading into wet pavement.

There’s something steady about it. Grounded. A colorway that feels like wandering without a destination, hands in pockets, heart calm but awake. The speckles flicker like distant streetlights, subtle but alive against the stonewashed base.

Hand dyed in small batches, each skein captures that fleeting in-between — where grit meets grace and the city turns quietly beautiful.

 

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.
