Dryad is a variegated colourway with tones of light and dark green, green and subtle warm brown speckles. I adore nature spirits across many folklores, and I couldn’t possibly leave the dryads out! 🌿

Dryad is a repeatable colourway and also available in other yarn bases ✨

While nowadays we use the term dryad more broadly to mean tree spirits or tree nymphs, a Dryad (Greek: Δρυάς) is an oak tree nymph or oak tree spirit in Greek mythology 🌿

Distinct from other Greek goddesses, nymphs are generally regarded as personifications of nature; they are typically tied to a specific place, landform, or tree, and are usually depicted as maidens. They were often seen as having healing properties; other divine powers of the nymphs included divination and shapeshifting. They are often attendants of goddesses and frequently occur in myths with a love motif, being the lovers of heroes and other deities✨

Nymphs often tended to frequent areas distant from humans but could be encountered by lone travelers outside the village, where their music might be heard, and the traveler could spy on their dancing or bathing in a stream or pool, either during the noon heat or in the middle of the night. These encounters could be dangerous, bringing dumbness, besotted infatuation, madness or stroke to the unfortunate traveler.

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.
