Forest
This was the first colour in the ‘Of Myth and Magic’ collection that I dyed and really encapsulates Tolkien’s fantasy world. Is there anything more magical than a band of adventurers strolling through the rich pine forests, embarking on their quest? This colourway is the ultimate full-bodied, deep green with a slightly muted undertone; the perfect forest undergrowth shade.

Please Note
- All yarn is hand dyed in a smoke-free, cat-friendly environment. (I don’t let him play with the yarn, though he’d love to!)
- Please wind into a ball or cake before use.
- While every effort is made to colour match photos, please be aware that colours may vary between monitors.
- As these skeins are hand dyed, we recommend alternating them through a larger project to avoid an obvious change when a new skein is used. A small amount of dye run is to be expected in the first wash; please wash on its own for the first time.
Washing Advice
With all our yarn bases, we recommend hand washing cold and laying flat to dry. We recommend using a small amount of wool wash, find our favourite here.
A very small amount of dye run is possible, though unlikely, especially with very rich, dark or bright colours, so we do recommend washing on it's own the first time.
