thistle

thistle – shades of lavender-grey, soft like frosty fields in the morning.

I always love seeing what colors are trending and what’s new on the runway, but what brings me the most joy is choosing the shades that really speak to me. As I put this palette together, each color started to tell its own part of the story, and soon the whole collection pictured a cozy cabin in the woods in my mind. I imagined curling up by the fire while cold night air settled outside, with the northern lights shimmering in the sky through the window. Every shade in wanderlight was chosen to capture that sense of warmth, comfort, and winter magic. It's the kind of feeling that makes you want to pick up your needles and stay a little longer in the moment.

Please note: Due to the hand-dyeing techniques I use, each hank will be unique, even within the same batch, but all are dyed together to maintain consistency. Color intensity may also vary with fiber content. Yarns that are 100% superwash wool will appear more vibrant, while bases with nylon, silk, non-superwash wool, or cellulose fibers (like cotton or linen) will have a softer, more muted appearance.
