In Stock: Chiefest of Calamaties – Middle Earth Imagined Collection – Self-Striping

Middle Earth is full of dangers. In The Hobbit, Bilbo encountered one of the “chiefest and greatest calamities” — Smaug the Dragon. My favorite image of Smaug is the one illustrated by J. R. R. Tolkien himself, which is simlutaneously whimsical and calamitous indeed. (Click here to see a full rendering of this delightful image!)

Tolkien’s illustration was my inspiration for this Chiefest of Calamities colorway. It features five colors in Dragon Scale Red, Dragon Belly Gold, Talon Green, Smoke Wisp Gray, and Precious Things Gold.

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.

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.
