Hallo Pi(e) is our most popular seasonal Pi colorway. It features five tonal stripes of Alarming Licorice (black/gray), Ominous Orange (orange), Ghastly Grape (purple), Beastly Butternut (gold), and Spectral Spinach (green).
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! So that you can begin your project with the first stripe in the sequence (Alarming Licorice), you’ll find a stitch marker attached to the beginning end of the skein.
The sample shown is an example of how this colorway knits up in a fingering weight yarn base over 60 stitches using US 1 needles.
Hallo Pi self-striping is in stock on the following bases:
Strong DK – DK, 75/25 SW Merino/Nylon, 245 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.
