*NEW!* Pre-Order: Winter Mystery Pi! – Self-Striping, Mini Sets, Fiber

Once the holiday hubbub passes and the excitement of a new year dies down, it can seem like a long wait for the cold, dark days of winter to go by. Would you like something to help break up the monotony of winter? We have just the thing! We’re offering pre-orders for two new winter-themed colorways, both of which are mysteries! They will ship to you in the last week of January 2026 — just when you need a fun surprise pick-me-up in your mailbox the most! This listing is for our Winter Mystery Pi colorway. You’ll find the pre-order listing for our other winter mystery colorway, Winter Light, here.

Everyone loves a mystery, and how to get through the long winter months sometimes seems like one of them. What is it about January that makes it feel like the longest month of the year? Don’t worry…we’ve got you! This Winter Mystery Pi colorway has been inspired by a collection of ideas that are intended to help you feel good, even on the coldest day! Consider it cozy self-care in fiber form!

All orders for this colorway will come with a bonus insert highlighting these inspirations and will provide specific ideas that you might use as you strive to survive winter! (Also — “Winter Mystery Pi” will not be the colorway’s official name. The name gets revealed when the yarn ships!) 

We’re offering this mystery colorway in self-striping skeins, mini skein sets, and in fiber braids. See the sections below for details.

SELF-STRIPING

This Winter Mystery Pi colorway will be one of our traditional five-stripe pi colorways. All self-striping pre-orders come with a coordinating bonus mini. 

Like all of our Pi Day colorways, the striping pattern is based on the numeric sequence of pi – 3.141592…, which is a non-repeating number. Thus, the stripe sequence does not repeat within the skein, and you will not be able to get a matching pair of socks (or anything) from a single skein. But if you’re a math geek, that’s part of the fun! We include a stitch marker affixed to the beginning of the sequence so you can start your project with the first Pi digit, if you’d like to!

Bounce – fingering, 80/20 SW Merino/Nylon, 400 yd/100-gm skein plus one 80 yd/20 gm mini

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 and then air dry flat. These fibers will felt.

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.
