Panellus stipticus, Omphalotus illudens

Foxfire, also known as fairy fire, describes the bioluminescence in certain species of fungi. It is more commonly found in woodlands here in Maine under dark sky areas, where they’re not being drowned out by light pollution. This colorway fluoresces under black light to mimic the bioluminescence of its namesake.

Splashed onto our chunky weight 100% superwash merino yarn

3 ply, 106 yds, 100 g, never from mulesing

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.
