One of the five wizards sent to Middle Earth to help guard its inhabitants against the Sauron’s darkness, Gandalf the Grey is the wizard most of us first come to know and love. He had a fondness for Hobbits, and was instrumental in helping them exercise the true courage and great deeds he knew them capable of, for the betterment of their world. Through his association with Nienna, a Queen of the Valar, he learned pity and patience, traits that served him well in his time in Middle Earth.
Our Gandalf the Grey colorway feature Gandalf Gray for his cloak, Silver for his scarf, Steel Blue for his hat, Dark Taupe for this staff, Wizard White for his flowing beard as well as his cloak after he becomes Gandalf the White, and finally Boot Black for his footwear.
Gandalf the Grey is a six stripe colorway featuring three wide stripes in Gandalf Gray, Steel Blue, and Wizard White, with three narrower stripes between them in Silver, Dark Taupe, and Boot Black. The sample is knit out of our Bounce base.
Gandalf the Grey is currently available in stock on the following bases:
Bounce – fingering, 80/20 SW Merino/Nylon, 400 yards per 100-gram skein
Recommended care: 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.
