This yarn is ready to ship from our studio to your favorite knitting chair. Please see below for the fiber content and yardage of available cakes.

About this Colorway

Flashdance: Grab your spandex, scrunchies, and leg warmers and turn up the music because we’re heading back to the 80’s! Bright flashes of neon pink and orange with black throughout.

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.
