Can't Beet Me!

Can’t Beet Me! is a bold, hand-dyed yarn colorway bursting with rich beet-inspired tones. Deep magenta and wine hues mingle with earthy undertones, creating a color that feels grounded, saturated, and full of personality. It’s confident, a little playful, and impossible to ignore.

Dyed by hand in small batches, each skein carries subtle tonal shifts that add texture and depth to your finished fabric. Can’t Beet Me! is a striking choice for hats, cowls, sweaters, and accessories where color takes center stage and simple stitches truly shine.

As with all hand dyed yarns, natural variation between skeins is part of the process. For larger projects, alternating skeins is recommended for the most cohesive look.

Pro Tip: If your project uses more than one skein in the same colorway, we recommend alternating skeins every row. Hand-dyed yarns naturally have slight shifts in tone and saturation, and switching skeins as you go helps those subtle variations blend beautifully for a more consistent, cohesive fabric.

You can even use this technique with a single-skein project: wind the skein into two balls and alternate between them each row. If you’re working from a center-pull cake, just use both the inside and outside strand to alternate rows.

Care Instructions 

Wash only when necessary — fine llama rarely needs frequent cleaning. When your piece does need care, hand-soak in cool water with a mild wool wash. Avoid detergent, wringing, agitation, or machine washing (even on delicate cycles). Press gently in a towel to remove excess water and lay flat to dry away from direct sunlight. 

A small amount of color release is normal with hand-dyed yarns, especially with deeply saturated colorways. This will lessen over time and does not affect the quality of your finished piece.

Cherish your handmade item — with gentle care, it will last a lifetime.
