Amas Veritas is a variegated burgundy-magenta-pink colourway with dark streaks.
I named Amas Veritas for a very unabashed pleasure of mine and an autumnal tradition, which is of course the movie Practical Magic.
Amas Veritas is both the name of the iconic score track, and the love spell young Sally recites in the film:
"They will hear my call a mile away.
They will whistle my favorite song.
They can ride a pony backward.
They can flip pancakes in the air.
They'll be marvelously kind.
Their favorite shape will be a star.
And they'll have one green eye and one blue.
The person I dreamed of doesn't exist, and if they don't exist, I'll never die of a broken heart."

Empyrean is a deliciously soft, fluffy lace-weight yarn base, perfect as an alternative to mohair or suri alpaca. It is excellent as a complementary thread to be held with a different yarn, or just by itself, and it is also wonderful to be used for adding subtle colour accents to your fabric.
I chose the name Empyrean for its incredible, divine softness.
In ancient European cosmologies inspired by Aristotle, the Empyrean heaven, Empyreal or simply the Empyrean, was the place in the highest heaven which was supposed to be occupied by the element of fire (or aether in Aristotle's natural philosophy). In medieval Christianity, the Empyrean was the third heaven and beyond "the heaven of the air and the heaven of the stars."
Empyrean can also mean "heavenly" or "celestial".

Essential Information for buying our Hand-Dyed Yarns
When purchasing hand-dyed yarn, we recommend buying enough for your entire project.
Our yarn is handmade in small batches. While we follow precise recipes for repeatable colorways and carefully measure our materials, slight variations between skeins are inevitable. No two skeins will ever be identical, as is the nature of handcrafted products.
We take new photos for each dye lot, so images on our website may differ from skeins you’ve purchased in previous batches.
For a more uniform appearance in knitting, crochet, or weaving, alternate skeins every few rows.
We ensure all dyes are fully exhausted before rinsing our yarn. However, mild color bleeding can still occur, especially with bright, dark, or speckled skeins. To prevent unexpected color transfer, rinse your skein in cold water with wool wash and let it dry before starting your project.
For detailed care instructions, please follow this link.
This listing is for one (1) skein of yarn unless stated otherwise. Photos of multiple skeins are for comparison purposes, showcasing differences between yarn bases and/or skeins.
Please note that colorways may appear slightly different due to display settings on your device. Especially keep this in mind if you are using apple devices, which are known to alter colours. While we optimize our photography for color accuracy, viewing images on a monitor provides the most reliable representation.
