About this Colorway

The Spice Must Flow: The "spice melange" in Frank Herbert's epic novel Dune made time travel possible, and though the spice may never taste the same way twice, this colorway is sure to be a hit every time. 

This gradient is part of our Chromatics Collection - a sweet array of single-color gradients moving from light to dark.

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.
