Coastal Live Oak trees shed their leaves in the spring as they burst forth new ones so they’re never bare. Also in spring, they produce beautiful, vibrant green, trailing catkins. As these tiny flowers blow in the notorious Texas wind, they spread their profuse yellow pollen absolutely everywhere and make most of us miserable with allergies. The nicest season here to be outdoors temperature-wise is, sadly, rather inhospitable.
Catkins yarn is inspired by the gorgeous greens and purpley-browns that appear through the various stages of oak catkin growth and decay. So much colour in such a brief life cycle! This is a complicated, labour-intensive dye process and is dyed-to-order.
Fingering, 75% SW BFL/25% Nylon, 100g (3.5oz). 424m (464yds)
