Echoes of Scotland: Chestnut Mare

Deep • Heathered • Sophisticated

Chestnut Mare is the shadowed side of the Scottish Highlands—a deep, complex tonal where chestnut brown mingles with dusky plum, wine, and smoky heather. Depending on the light, one shade slips into another, creating the kind of depth that makes even simple stitches look beautifully dimensional.

It’s a color that feels timeless: an old leather saddle, a wool coat beside the fire, dark heather on the moor. Pair Chestnut Mare with the warm glow of Highland Copper or let it pull the deeper tones from Heather, Hide & Horn for a beautifully cohesive project.

Part of our Echoes of Scotland color story, Chestnut Mare is available on Fingering/Sock, DK, and Worsted, plus our brand-new Super Floof – Lace and Softer Than Soft – Bulky bases.

Made to pair with Highland Copper and Heather, Hide & Horn
