In Stock: The Order of Wizards – Middle Earth Imagined Collection

The Order of Wizards arrived in Middle Earth by Third Age 1000. These five Maiar, or spirits, were sent in an advisory capacity to Men and Elves to help them resist the dark powers of Sauron. They were meant to assist the people of Middle-earth through persuasion and encouragement, not through domination or force.

Three of the wizards we know quite well from the stories of the Legendarium – Saruman the White, Gandalf the Grey (later the White when he was sent back after killing the Balrog), and Radagast the Brown. The other two – Alatar and Pallando, the Blue Wizards – we don’t know much about, as they may have arrived earlier than the other three and their tales are not present in any great detail.

The Order of Wizards self-striping features the five stripes in representative wizardly colors: Gandalf Grey, Saruman White, and Radagast Brown, as well as Blue Wizard Bright and Blue Wizard Dark.

The Order of Wizards is currently available on:

*Traveler (Oopsie!) – sport wt., 80/20 SW Merino/Nylon, 328 yd/100-gm skein

*Note that these Traveler skeins are “Oopsies!” due to the some of the blue getting into the white stripe. It’ll have a unique effect when worked, but it is not as it is meant to be, so we are discounting these skeins accordingly.

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.
