These are Limited Edition colours in some of our favourite Artyarns bases: Merino Cloud, Double Mohair, and ultra-lux Cashmere Ombré 2 ply!
Every purchase includes exclusive patterns designed to bring out the yarn colours. Once a colour sells out it’s retired and will never be repeated.
The July 2023 colourway, “Summer Sunset”, is romantic and bold, with dramatic blues and vibrant oranges and yellows. Skeins are hand-painted in an ombre style, and will knit up with long colour repeats.
Lovingly dyed by artisans with brushes.Read more about each of the yarns and their characteristics here:

Summer Sunset Shawl
-
by Iris Schreier
A one skein shawl knit in Merino Cloud. Lacey crescent, starting on the blue end of the skein and ending with the gold and orange.Â2. Summer Sunset Lace Tee by Lucinda Iglesias
Likes rays of sunshine, the Summer Sunset Tee has an easy lace motif that radiates out. This tee is worked from the top down. Started on the Orange/Gold end and culminating in deep blues. The mohair drape makes this a lovely tee to wear in the summer.
S/m/l will require just 1 skein of mohair ombré 2 ply. Larger sizes will require 2 skeins.
4. Effortless Arrows Top designed by Danielle Courier:
Using the Merino Cloud Fade Kit, along with the option of adding 1 skein of Beaded Silk and Sequins for extra bling! Just one Fade Set will be enough for most sizes. We recommend 378 Chartreuse for the Beaded Silk option.

We recommend hand washing non-superwash, hand-dyed yarns.
Although Artyarns are very consistent with their colourways, all hand-painted skeins are unique. If your project uses more than one skein, you may want to alternate / stripe the skeins.Block / wash in lukewarm water with some wool wash, and lay flat to dry. Artyarns set their dyes with steaming and thoroughly rinsing but differing water temperatures and chemicals can cause some dye to bleed in any yarn.
If you’re pairing light and dark colours, we recommend washing your swatch first to test for colour-fastness.
