Into the Mystic - The Van Morrison Collection - Hand Dyed Yarn
Into the Mystic is the most beautiful variegated colourway, an ideal choice for anyone crazy about the colour blue. After trying a new technique for dyeing yarn, I#39;ve decided to take my 7 favourites and release them as a complete collection. It is possible there will be more additions in the future. Photographing these colourways was challenging, because it#39;s difficult to capture how truly special each skein is. Even when dyed in the same batch, in the same pan, each skein is truly one of a kind. And once twisted into a skein, we loose a lot of visibility of the swirling blends of colours and speckles. Once you unwrap the yarn, all the beauty is released and you can really see how special these colourways are. Alternating skeins in between rows is suggested when using any colourway from the Van Morrison Collection.
Into the Mystic pairs beautifully with Boyfriend Jeans, Hocus Pocus, or Inkwell

Let me take a moment to walk you through all 7 of my different yarn bases.
Mohair Halo Base: A delicate, lace weight yarn made up of 72% Superkid Mohair and 28% Mulberry Silk. Each skein is 50 grams and 460 yards. This yarn is lovely on its own, but is also amazing when held together with another yarn base. The fuzziness of the mohair creates a halo of colour within your project. Hand wash only.
Squishy Sock Base: A soft and plump fingering weight yarn, made up of 80% Superwash Merino Wool and 20% Nylon. Each skien is 114 grams and 437 yards. It has an 8 ply makeup, giving it a substantial feel for a fingering weight yarn. A perfect base for any item calling for a classic fingering weight yarn. It is machine washable on delicate cycle, thanks to it’s Superwash treatment. This is a reliable and practical choice for items like socks, shawls, baby items and other wearable garments.
Luxe Sock Base: The most luxurious of all fingering weight bases, Luxe Sock is made up of 75% Ultra Fine Merino Wool, 15% Mulberry Silk, and 10% Cashmere. Each skien is 100 grams and 437 yards. This yarn base is heavenly soft against the skin, and perfect for a special project calling for a high end fingering weight yarn. The Mulberry Silk adds drape and lustre, and the cashmere creates a fuzzy halo effect as you work with it. The colours of dye tend to shine through, looking much more striking and rich compared to some of my samples on Superwash bases. Hand wash only.
Hidden DK Base: Once a little shop secret, this base is now available all the time! This ultra versatile Double Knit Base is a no-brainer, easy choice for anything meant to wear next to the skin. Made up of 85% Extra Fine Superwash Merino Wool and 15% Nylon, this yarn is unbelievably soft, easy to care for (machine washable on a delicate cycle, in cold water) and takes up the dye colours beautifully. Each skein is 100 grams and 246 yards.
Dreamy DK Base: A superb Double Knit weight yarn that is made up of 70% Baby Alpaca, 20% Silk and 10% Cashmere. Each skein is 100 grams and 246 yards. This yarn knits up beautifully and is oh so soft against the skin. Due to the nature of this yarn, the colours of the dye tend to be more muted and muddled, softer and subtler than on my Superwash bases. Colourways always look different on this base, I try to add photos to the listing whenever possibe. This is a luxury yarn base that is a pure pleasure to work with. The silk creates a lustrous hue and the cashmere gives a subtle fuzzy halo effect as you knit with it. Hand wash only.
Classic Worsted Base: A soft and full Worsted Base yarn, made up of 100% Superwash Merino Wool. Each skein is 110 grams and 205 yards. It is plush, and versatile, and thanks to its Superwash treatment, it is also machine washable on a delicate cycle. A great, practical choice for any project calling for a Worsted Weight base.
Hidden Bulky Base: Once a little shop secret, this base is now available all the time! The thickest of all my bases, this 100% Extra Fine Superwash Merino base is unbelievably soft next to the skin, and the dye colours simply shine through. Each skein is 100 grams and 109 yards. Although made up of the same blend as the Classic Worsted Weight base, this yarn has a much softer feel to it thanks to the Extra Fine Merino Wool. A little goes a long way with this great yarn base, and is a smart choice for hats, cowls and baby blankets.
I keep all base options In Stock on Etsy, but there’s always a chance I’ll need to dye the right colour on the right base for your order. It never takes longer than a day or two and I’ll happily ship your order as quickly as possible within 1-2 business days
I offer free shipping on all orders of 200$ CAD or more, please enter code FREESHIPPING200 at checkout!
These yarns are all dyed by me from my home just outside of Montreal, QC. Being such a small scale operation, I’m almost always available to make custom orders and to increase the quantity from what’s presently for sale in my Etsy store. Feel free to contact me directly with any inquiries and I’ll happily work with you to create just what you’re looking for.
The beauty of indie dyed yarns is that no two are identical, I recommend alternating skeins after each row for a more uniform look. It is a rare occurrence, and I do everything possible to avoid this, but there is always a chance of colour bleeding with the first wash. The photos used are chosen to best represent the true colourways, using natural, outdoor sunlight. I try my hardest to achieve consistency between dye lots. If you need a quick consultation while choosing colours, please let me know, I’d love to help!
