Originally dyed as part of the 2025 yarn club and now available individually -
Helena Gum Moth #3 is a rich, mid-tone brown inspired by the velvety wings of the Helena Gum Moth. Warm and earthy, this shade sits comfortably between chestnut and cocoa—deep enough to feel grounded, yet light enough to reveal subtle tonal shifts in the yarn. It brings to mind tree bark, autumn leaves, and the dusky bodies of native moths. A versatile, natural hue, perfect for pairing with softer neutrals or bold jewel tones.
Fibre Information
4 ply, sock or fingering yarn. 100 gms gives you 400 metres
Darjeeling yarn: 80% Merino, 20% Nylon
Beautifully soft and just the right amount of nylon for a pair of socks. This also makes a gorgeous shawl or other wearable object.
It is recommended that you hand wash in cool to lukewarm water with a wool wash to prevent dissociating. Slight bleeding may occur but should not affect the final colour. The merino is superwash but the dyes not. (However, I'm not hand washing my socks so there!)
