PRE-ORDER Spring Colours - DEFYING GRAVITY - SOCK or SHAWL SET - SPRING 2026
PREORDER. Orders will be dyed and shipped on or before the 24th April.
Spring Colours 2026 is inspired by the song
’Defying Gravity' by Edina Menzel.
Each of the yarns is named after a lyric in the song:
Defying Gravity - Variegated Pink and Green.
Glinda - Tonal Pink.
You will receive a 100g (or 50g) of the main colour and a contrast 20g (or 100g) skein of contrast hand dyed yarn. If you would like to choose a different contrast colour from this range, please leave a note with our order or email me ellie@crafthousemagic.co.uk.
The yarn is enough to create a pair of socks (50g + 20g sets may not be enough if you have large feet) or if you order the shawl set (2 x 100g skeins, 1 main colour and 1 contrast colour) enough to make a two colour shawl. If you would like two skeins of the main colour please leave a note with your order or email me ellie@crafthousemagic.co.uk. Sock sets are available in Merino, Stellina or BFL 4 ply (fingering weight) and Merino DK bases that include nylon (not available in luxury bases MCN or baby alpaca 4ply). 70g sock sets are only available in Merino and Stellina bases.

Hand wash and dry flat. Although I have taken care for colours not to run as these yarns are hand dyed it is best to wash them separately from other lighter colours.
Please be aware that different batches of this yarn may be slightly different. Some bases take the dye slightly differently to others, the images shown are merino and nylon.
