Meet Ajuga Sock sets🪻

Ajuga is a gently and subtly variegated purple/green, my absolute favourite color combination, with a lot of grey tones created when they mix!
In the sock set is paired with Nebbia, a very light gray with some blue and green tones, and the very occasional tiny speckles.

Choose between Ajuga and Nebbia as your main color!

I do my best to show the colors of my yarns as I see them, but pictures may be shown differently on your monitor.
I dye all of my yarns by hands, in my tiny dye space in my house, using lightfast Acid Dyes.
All of the colors are not premixed, I mix them using only primaries, so each colourway is custom and unique.

Ajuga is a lovely little wildflower, one of the very first blooming in early Spring and it makes for a true feast for hungry bees and bumblebees after the long Winter.

Over years I've been careful to not cut them until all the blooms are spent, so they're slowly taking a big part of the garden, which means lot of food for bees, and to me that sums up what garden is about, to feed the belly, for human or insects alike, while feeding the soul ❤️

Ajuga blooms start blueish/purple on a bed of yellow/green leaves, as they fade they leave place to beautiful silvery gray and beige neutrals. All those colors comes in the skeins, gently merging one in the other with no heavy marks.
