💜 Calicarpa – purple, bright green, and a touch of garden magic

Calicarpa is one of those colors you can’t ignore. That bright green shade? Yes, it’s truly fluorescent! And together with deep purples, moss green, lavender, and a bit of white, this yarn gets an almost fairytale-like appearance – without being too sweet.

Inspired by the Callicarpa bodinieri (also known as beautyberry), a shrub that shines in autumn with vibrant purple berries among fresh green leaves. As if someone scattered purple beads in the garden ✨

This color is perfect for projects with a kick: think socks, hats, or a striking scarf. It combines surprisingly well with neutral gray tones or with other brighter work. And yes – it’s now available individually!

🧶 Available on:

• Sock (75% mulesing-free merino / 25% nylon – 400 meters per 100g)
• DK (100% mulesing-free merino – 220 meters per 100g)

🌿 Did you know…?
The Calicarpa is also called “beautyberry”. The berries are edible for birds, but not for humans – though they are a feast for the eyes. And just like with the yarn: those colors only truly show when the light hits them.

📦 Ordering multiple skeins? Then I’ll ensure they come from the same dye lot. Is the stock depleted? No worries – I’m happy to dye more to order.
