The theme of this year's Nocturne's autumnal yarn box is Samhain. The box is inspired by the folklore and traditions from around Europe, celebrating the end of harvest season, when the months start becoming dark and the veil between the worlds is thin. 

Each Yarn Box will contain 5 full 100g skeins of a Nocturne base of your choice. You can choose between a full set of skeins only, or a full set of skeins including at least 5 complementary goodies & trinkets for fellow magpies 🦇 

The colour palette is focused on rich, earthy autumnal tones, complemented with jewel accents, in line with Nocturne's deep and moody palettes.  

The sets are available in the following yarn bases:

  • Vespertine (75% Superwash Merino, 19.5 micron; 25% Nylon)
  • Eventide & Eventide DK (60% Superwash Merino, 20% Silk and 20% Yak)
  • Devana & Devana DK (80% Non-Superwash Corriedale, 20% Gotland)

The Samhain Folklore yarn box is a pre-order item, with the orders closing at the end of August 2026.

The yarn box will be shipped to you at the beginning of October 2026, to ensure the timely delivery of your parcel in time for Samhain 🦇 *

 

*In case you order additional items along with your Samhain Folklore Yarn Box, they will be shipped together.

Vespertine

Fiber contents: 75% Superwash Fine Merino (19,5 micron), 25% Nylon
Weight per skein: 100 g / 3,5 oz
Running length:420 m / 459 yds
Yarn Weights Available: Fingering/Sock

Vespertine is a super soft yarn with a gorgeous heathered texture. The heathered look of the base lends depth and richness to colours and adds an additional sophisticated flair. The extrafine merino fibers are reinforced with nylon for additional durability. It creates a beautiful fabric without compromising the fibre strength and washability. The yarn is therefore great for knitting soft, comfy socks or any kind of garments or accessories.

Vespertine is a term used in the life sciences to indicate something of, relating to, or occurring in the evening. In botany, a vespertine flower is one that opens or blooms in the evening. In zoology, the term is used for a creature that becomes active at dusk, such as bats and owls. Vespertine behaviour is a special case of crepuscular behaviour; while crepuscular activity may resume during the dim hours of dawn, vespertine activity is limited to dusk and ceases during full darkness.

Eventide

Fiber Contents:  60% Superwash Merino | 20% Silk | 20% Yak
Weight per Skein: 100g | 3.5 oz
Yarn Weights Available: Fingering, DK

Running Length for Fingering Weight: 366 metres | 400 yards
Running Length for DK Weight: 212 metres | 231 yards

Eventide is a luxurious merino, silk and yak fiber blend. The grey base of the yak adds a deep sophisticated richness to the yarn, which is enhanced beautifully by the sheen of the silk. The colours come out vibrant and bold, with a beautifully heathered underlying texture. We love this yarn for its soft, plush feel which makes it delightful to work with, while the plied construction makes Eventide a little more robust than other yak-silk blends we've tried.

The silk provides the fibres with additional strength as well as a beautiful luster. The yarn is fantastic for any kind of project that calls for supple, draping fabric. It is well-suited for everyone who enjoys the Extra softness and durability.

The merino, yak and silk combination in the yarn can cause a little fiber shedding, resulting in a slight halo effect on the fabric over time. This is completely normal and is just a natural progression of how the yarn "settles", eventually it will go away on its own. In the meantime, it is safe to use a fabric shaver / gleener on the gentlest setting to maintain the garment. We recommend doing a spot test on the fabric beforehand.

Devana

Fiber Contents:  80% Non-Superwash Corriedale | 20% Gotland
Weight per Skein: 100g | 3.5 oz
Yarn Weights Available: Fingering, DK

Running Length for Fingering Weight: 400 metres | 437 yards
Running Length for DK Weight: 200 metres | 223 yards

Devana is a beautiful non-superwash Corriedale & Gotland wool fiber blend base. Devana has a lovely texture that doesn't compromise the softness of the yarn, but will please anyone that enjoys a more wooly tactile experience.

The Gotland lends the yarn a gentle halo, similar to alpaca.

I named Devana after the goddess of wilderness, the moon, and the hunt, worshipped by western Slavs.

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.
