This colorway is named after the Lagoon Nebula, Messier 8 (NGC 6523), which is a giant cloud of gas and dust where stars are born.
The color is a mix of deep, fig-like purple and vibrant teal and much more saturated in person than it appears online due to limitations of the way RGB colors are rendered. Please note that depending on your device or monitor settings colors may appear slightly different than they are in person. Color also varies slightly by base, as the dye absorbs differently on different fiber content.

Hand wash in cold water and lay flat to dry. All of our yarns are thoroughly washed and rinsed, but with all hand dyed yarns there could be some excess of dye molecules that remain. It is recommended to wash separately for the first wash to ensure no dye transfer.
All skeins of Crow and Crescent Yarn are hand dyed with love in Shoreline, WA using high quality professional acid dyes in small batches. Each skein is unique, and dye lots vary.
Thank you for supporting small business!
