Welcome to the fourth colorway in our Middle Earth Imagined Collection!
Where better to go after a hard day’s work than the Green Dragon Inn? A pleasant walk to Bywater, where the Brandywine River flows, and a Hobbit can sit with his or her friends in the glow of the Dragon‘s fire, enjoy a pipe and a pint of ale, and listen to the gossip of the day.
The Green Dragon features four stripes of Dragon Green, Ember Orange (tonal), Pipe Smoke Gray, and Fine Ale Gold. We’ve paired this colorway with a mini skein of Brandywine Blue.
We are offering The Green Dragon as a self-striping colorway, a mini skein set, and as two different fiber configurations. Read on for details of each, and then choose from the drop down menu above to pick which item(s) you’d like to order.

Recommended care for yarn: Though these are superwash wools and can be machine washed, we recommend hand washing in cool water and then air dry flat.
Recommended care for fiber: Hand wash only in cool water; air dry flat. These fibers will felt. Note that a minor amount of residual dye may be released from the fiber in the first couple of soaks. This is normal and should not affect the color of the overall spun yarn.
All of our yarns and fibers are individually hand-dyed using professional grade acid dyes. Colorway names are consistent between yarns/fibers dyed with the same dye colors, however color can (and likely will) vary between skeins and between different bases.
We make every effort to assure the colors in our photos are as accurate as possible, but please note that colors can vary from monitor to monitor.
