About this Colorway

Don't Be Koi: Look into the aqua blue water and you'll see black and orange koi fish - this yarn does swimmingly well at evoking this peaceful pond.

This gradient is one of our Modernist colorways - essentially 'speckled stripes'. This dye technique was inspired by painters of the Modernism movement such as Henri Matisse, Marc Chagall, and Georgia O'Keeffe.

Notes about Knitcircus Yarns

Because of our unique dyeing process, many of our darker colors appear heathered, with small light spots sprinkled throughout. This heathering is normal. Our yarns are colored using professional-grade acid dyes. We’ve made every effort to photograph the color accurately, but appearance may vary depending on your monitor settings.
