Product Description
Sassafras is a mix of browns and grays inspired by my favorite pastime, rock climbing. Within two hours of my home I can climb on granite slabs and basalt columns. The rocks are mottled in appearance and because of the dampness, there is always a some sort of vegetation growing in the cracks, adding a touch of green to the dark colors.
Blueprint: This superwash fingering weight merino wool,
custom-milled exclusively for Hazel Knits, is a lighter weight version of our Artisan Sock. This yarn is perfect for socks and the 20% nylon provides added strength. Blueprint is soft, yet crisp, and with the higher put-up, it is perfect for shawls and other garments / accessories.
