Our Story: Magical Owl
Our Story: Magical Owl
Fox & Owl Dye Lab | The Wooly Caterpillar
A little midnight magic, a splash of teal, and one very colorful owl.
Every small business has a story. Ours just happens to be written in yarn.
If you've ever taken a close look at our Fox & Owl Dye Lab logo, you've probably noticed that our owl isn't your ordinary, everyday woodland bird. She's got a little flair, a little mystery, and a gorgeous shade of teal that we just couldn't resist bringing to life in yarn.
Magical Owl combines that signature owl-inspired teal with Magic at Midnight, one of our favorite deep, moody colorways from The Reserve Collection. The result? A swirling blend of vibrant turquoise-teal, rich midnight navy, and soft, unexpected flashes of lighter color that seem to dance between the two.
It's a little mysterious, a little whimsical, and just the right amount of dramatic. Much like the creative process itself, you never quite know where the colors will take you—and that's half the fun.
Whether you're dreaming up a statement shawl, a cozy sweater, or a pair of socks with serious personality, Magical Owl brings a touch of nighttime enchantment to every stitch.
Because sometimes, the best ideas happen when you let your imagination spread its wings.
