Aphrodite - Hand-Dyed Merino Yarn - Briar Patch Fibre Co

Aphrodite – Hand-Dyed Merino DK Yarn

Inspired by Aphrodite, goddess of love, this hand-dyed yarn celebrates love in all its forms—the love we share with others, and the love we cultivate within ourselves. Dyed with the colors of the Bisexual and Trans Pride flags, this skein is a gentle reminder to lead with compassion, joy, and care.

Soft, springy 100% Merino DK makes this yarn a pleasure to work with, whether you’re knitting, crocheting, or simply admiring the colors before casting on. Each skein is dyed with intention, embracing variation as part of its handmade beauty.

Why you’ll love it

This yarn is about softness—of fiber, of color, and of spirit. It’s cozy without being precious, expressive without shouting, and perfect for projects meant to be worn close to the heart. Aphrodite invites you to slow down, take care, and make something that feels good to create and to wear. Gerard thinks this would make a wonderful sweater!

About This Yarn

Each skein is dyed in the same pot, but like all hand-dyed yarns, no two will take the color exactly the same—and that variation is part of the charm. If you’re planning a larger project, please feel free to reach out. I’m always happy to work with you to ensure skeins come from the same dye lot, or to create a custom batch just for your project. I want your finished piece to turn out every bit as beautifully as you imagine it.
