Dyed with homegrown coreopsis and sumac, Creepy Coreopsis is an unexpected October colorway born from the way natural dyes shift, surprise, and refuse to behave exactly as planned.
Instead of the orange tones originally envisioned, the coreopsis and sumac settled into a smoky palette of soft violet-gray, cream, charcoal, and strange little flashes of yellow-green. The result feels eerie without being overtly theatrical — more like the garden at the very end of the season, when everything has faded, dried, and changed character.
On the smooth Dream DK base, those shifts move clearly across the skein in irregular bands and streaks, letting the contrast between muted gray-violet and brighter yellow-green stand out beautifully.
Named for its dye source and slightly uncanny palette, Creepy Coreopsis is one of those naturally dyed yarns that became more interesting precisely because it did not turn out as expected.
Details:
• 100g skein
• DK weight
• Dream base
• Smooth 4-ply construction
• Non-superwash
Dye materials:
Homegrown coreopsis and sumac
(Long Island, New York)
Notes:
Each skein is one of a kind, with natural variation throughout.
