This colorway is named Delta Draconis after a star in the constellation of Draco, this star (formally named Altais) is estimated to be approximately 800 million years of age.
Delta Draconis is a repeatable colorway. If you do not see the quantities listed that you would like for your project, send me a message and I will happily dye to order.
The color is a rich black faded to a light dusty cool botanical green. 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!

I rarely leave reviews, but I'm blown away and had to make this review! I've never seen unique hand-dyed yarn in my "dark/moody aesthetic" until I found this shop! The feel of the yarn is soooo soft to the touch too! I'm guaranteed going to be a repeat customer, thank you so much again! 🖤💚
