Dinoflagellates Worsted

In certain pockets of Maine’s heavily dimpled coastline on moonless nights in summer, ripples of light appear in the water. Glowing pale blue in the pure dark are marine plankton known as dinoflagellates.

Take this yarn under a blacklight and the pale blue dots in this yarn will also glow!

Hand dyed in Maine

Actual color may vary slightly due to hand dyeing process and lighting. It is always recommended to alternate skeins to avoid unwanted color pooling if a project requires more than one.

Hanks can be wound into cakes for an additional fee. Not recommended for long term storage or for more than 3 hanks per project due to loss of integrity in the fiber from prolonged tension on the yarn. If you would like to purchase more than 3 caked hanks in your order, please e-mail freshwaterpurlfiber@gmail.com and I’d be happy to arrange that for you.
