Poseidon – Hand-Dyed Merino Yarn

Inspired by Poseidon, God of the Sea, ruler of the oceans after the defeat of Kronos, this yarn honors the vast, shifting waters given to him—separate from the ancient Titan Oceanus and filled with power, beauty, and depth. Poseidon embodies the sea in all its moods: calm and sunlit, unpredictable and immense.

Dyed in crystal Mediterranean blues with soft notes of yellow, purple, and grey, this colorway feels like light dancing on water. It evokes warm beach days, salt air, sun-warmed stone, and waves rolling in with quiet confidence. Bright without being harsh, fluid without being chaotic.

Why you’ll love it

Poseidon is a yarn for relaxed, joyful making. The colors feel open and breathable—perfect for garments, wraps, and accessories meant to move with you. It carries the ease of summer and the grounding rhythm of the sea, making it especially lovely for projects you’ll reach for again and again.

This is a yarn that invites calm, creativity, and a little wanderlust.

About This Yarn

Each skein is dyed in the same pot, but hand-dyed yarns will always take color a little differently—variation is part of the beauty. If you’re planning a larger project and would like skeins from the same dye lot (or a custom match), feel free to reach out. I’m always happy to work with you to ensure your finished piece turns out as beautifully as you imagine.

Please note: the studio is not pet-free. Cats and dogs are present, and while I do my best to avoid their contact with products, they are powerful beings.
