Biker Chick - Katahdin 437 - Babette
In Stock: 3
Here’s a secret: the big orange trailer we drive to shows is decorated on the inside with motorcycle wallpaper. This is our homage to Big Orange and the classic biker colors of black, orange, and silver. Whether you’re a real biker chick or you just dream of being one, this color is for you.
This colorway can be highly variable, so feel free to give us a call for a current description of what we have, or if you have any questions about the color.
This colorway is a Babette: every skein and every batch is a bit different, but Babs has a method of recreating these artistic colorways. The photograph is an example of representative skeins from this colorway; the skein you receive may differ somewhat.
Katahdin 437
A lighter fingering weight than our Yummy 2-Ply, Katahdin 437 (formerly known as Northumbria Fingering - it is exactly the same yarn) is spun from the long, lustrous wool of Bluefaced Leicester sheep. BFL is a perfect canvas for Babs’ colors, giving the yarn a rich depth and slightly glossy finish. It's great for durable, fine-gauge socks, and lovely in crisp lacy shawlettes.
