Named for Ansel Adams' iconic black and white photography style. Black dots and dashes appear over the natural undyed cream of the yarn. Sometimes Ansel has lots of black, sometimes very little. For an even bolder black and white effect, choose Graphic.

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.

This colorway is also 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.

Yet

Somewhere between a true laceweight and a fingering weight, we think of Yet as a "rustic" lace yarn, even though it's a sophisticated merino and silk blend. The slightly heavier grist of this yarn means it's easy to work with, especially for newer lace knitters. Yet wears well and continues to look good year after year. Try it in shawls and lightweight sweaters.
