This yarn was inspired by the main character in Sigrid Undset's wonderful trilogy. The novels are set in late medieval Norway. The main character, Kristin, makes a terrible mistake but goes on to do much good in spite of it.
Like the character of Kristin, the yarn has a pleasing complexity to it. I dyed it using rose, peach, and lilac on a background of gray.
I dyed it on my Squoosh DK yarn base, which is a super soft and squishy yarn made of 100% superwash merino. It comes in big 4 ounce skeins.
