The base of this colourway is a light grey, with variegated yellow streaks, and yellow, green and rusty brown speckles. I love the noonwraith folklore and I definitely wanted to include her among the repeatable colours repertoire ☀️

The Noonwraith, or Poludnica, is a Slavic folklore creature who will roam the fields during the hottest part of summer days ☀️ She can take the form of an old woman or a young maiden dressed in white, whirling dust clouds and carrying a scythe or sickle. If encountered, she will stop people in the field to ask them difficult questions or engage them in conversation. If anyone fails to answer a question or tries to change the subject, she will cut off their head or strike them with illness. She can cause heatstrokes, madness and might even carry children away.

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.
