I Am What I Amethyst

I Am What I Amethyst is a hand-dyed tonal yarn inspired by depth, clarity, and confidence. Layers of purple unfold across the skein, ranging from soft lavender to deep amethyst, creating a luxurious tonal effect with subtle movement and shine. Elegant and versatile, this colorway elevates both simple stitches and complex textures.

Hand dyed in small batches, each skein features nuanced shifts in tone that give your finished fabric dimension without distraction. Am What I Amethyst is a beautiful choice for sweaters, shawls, scarves, and accessories where rich color and stitch definition take center stage.

As with all hand dyed yarns, gentle variation between skeins is part of the process. For larger projects, alternating skeins will help ensure a smooth, 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.

Perfect For: Lightweight sweaters, scarves, hats, mittens, shawls, and year-round home décor projects. 

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.
