Black Bear

$25.00

🐻Deep. Classic. Essential.

Black Bear is our rich, saturated black tonal — dramatic enough to stand on its own and versatile enough to go with just about everything in your yarn stash.

Inspired by one of Vermont’s most iconic woodland residents, Black Bear is the kind of color that doesn’t need much explanation. It’s black. Really, really good black. The sort of deep, timeless shade that makes a beautiful sweater, an elegant shawl, a wonderfully moody hat, or the perfect contrast color for colorwork.

And yes, we know: knitting or crocheting with black yarn can occasionally make you question your eyesight, your lighting choices, and possibly your commitment to the project. But once it’s finished? Absolutely worth it.

As part of The Reserve Collection, Black Bear is dyed to order on the yarn base you choose. No waiting for a Saturday drop and no worrying that your favorite base will disappear before you get there — just pick your yarn, place your order, and we’ll dye your Black Bear especially for you.

Black Bear pairs beautifully with: just about anything. Brights pop against it, neutrals become sophisticated, and variegated colorways get a little extra drama when Black Bear joins the project.

Please note: Black Bear is a hand-dyed tonal. Slight variations between skeins are part of the beauty of hand-dyed yarn. For larger projects, we recommend alternating skeins.

💧Dyed-to-order on your choice of base.

🌍No two skeins are exactly alike.

🚚7-10 day lead time.
