About this Colorway
Silly Old Bear: This amber colorway reminds us of our favorite portly bear who's a lover of honey and can frequently be heard saying, "Oh bother."
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.
