Licorice Allsorts - Estrellita - Babette

As the story goes, the mix of colorful confections we know as licorice allsorts was created when a candy seller dropped a tray of all his different treats! But there are no mistakes here, just a mixed-up jumble of speckles in yellow-orange, hot pink, purple, black, and tiny bits of blue teal on a white base.

This yarn is speckled: it has a tonal-colored background shade peppered with small dark specks and spots of dye. Each skein is different in terms of speckle distribution and placement. We will do our best to choose multiple skeins that coordinate well.

This colorway is a Babette: every skein and every batch is a bit different, but we have a recipe and a method for recreating these artistic colorways. The photograph is an example of representative skeins from this colorway; the skein you receive may differ somewhat. If you have any questions about the color, please give us a call or email to ask for a photo - we are always happy to describe our current batch for you to make sure it meets your needs!
