Remembrance – Hand-Dyed Merino Yarn

Inspired by the black stripe of the Pride flag, Remembrance honors those who came before us—those whose lives were cut short through persecution, violence, and neglect. For generations, LGBTQ+ people were targeted in the name of so-called religious freedom, and for years an entire community was left to suffer while calls for action went unanswered. This yarn exists to hold that history with care and intention.

Dyed in deep, layered blacks with subtle tonal variation, this colorway carries weight and depth rather than flat darkness. It feels solemn, grounding, and steady—meant to be held, worked, and remembered. Quiet, powerful, and enduring.

Why you’ll love it

Remembrance is a yarn for meaningful, intentional projects. It’s well suited for pieces created as acts of honor—garments, shawls, or accessories made with thought and care. This is a yarn that invites reflection and respect, acknowledging loss while affirming the right to live openly, out, and proud.

It’s not just a neutral; it’s a statement.

About This Yarn

Each skein is dyed in the same pot, but hand-dyed yarn 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 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 keep them away from products, their presence is mighty and unavoidable.
