The Victorian Era Collection Pre-Order - Victorian Blue

Beloved for its versatility, blue was considered suitable for nearly every occasion in the Victorian era and appeared in everything from ribbons and fashion trims to fine ceramics and home décor. While the color itself had been used for centuries, this period marked an important shift with the arrival of aniline dyes. These new synthetic dyes made rich and vibrant shades more accessible for commercial dyeing, allowing deep blues to flourish in everyday textiles. Before this innovation, blue relied entirely on natural indigo which offered beauty but limited depth. VICTORIAN BLUE reflects this moment in history when tradition blended with scientific progress and a classic color became more radiant than ever.

Quality & Care

All yarn bases are high quality and ethically sourced from farms that follow mulesing-free practices. Each skein may vary slightly from one another due to the nature of hand dyed yarn, but that's the beauty of it! Simply alternate skeins when working with the same colorway to prevent pooling. Yarn is dyed in small batches and then washed with Soak wash, however some bleeding may still occur. For best results, handwash your finished project in cool water using a mild detergent safe for wool and lay flat to dry. I try my best to photograph the color as closely as possible but please note computer monitors tend to vary.
