Espresso Yourself
Espresso Yourself is a hand-dyed yarn colorway inspired by deep, roasted coffee tones. Warm chocolate browns with subtle tonal variation create a cozy, sophisticated palette perfect for both classic and modern projects. This yarn brings depth and richness to every stitch, making it ideal for statement pieces or wardrobe staples.
Hand dyed in small batches, each skein features gentle shifts in color that add dimension without overpowering your design. Espresso Yourself is perfect for sweaters, hats, scarves, and accessories where warmth and texture take center stage.
As with all hand dyed yarns, slight variations between skeins are part of their handmade charm. For larger projects, alternating skeins is recommended for a smooth, cohesive fabric.

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.
Perfect For: Lightweight sweaters, scarves, hats, mittens, shawls, and year-round home décor projects.
Care Instructions
Wash only when necessary — fine yarn 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.
