Product Description
Achilles is built up with gentle minty hues paired with bolder blues and dark teal. We submersion dye the yarn for an unpredictable, vibrant effect.
And I just KNOW that Achilles and Patroclus were meant to be! I'm over the moon that Supergiant Games gave us this chance to reunite them in Hades.
Undercover Otter celebrates the award-winning videogame Hades with its bright colors, amazing storylines and deep dives into mythology. For this month Aiden picked some of the coolest things from the game and used them as inspiration for a yarn collection that's hotter than the lava river Phlegeton.
Just like the Zagreus, the main character of the game, we're trying to escape the underworld. Knit fast, so you can get closer to freedom at the gates of the Styx. A surefire way to keep your yarn-spirational projects stylish and suave.
About this Base
Information
-
When yarn contains superwash fibers, it is possible to machine wash it up to 30°C. We do however always advise hand washing your finished items for longevity.
-
Mild bleeding may occur on first wash, even though all yarns are fully exhausted during dyeing and thoroughly rinsed. Particularly in saturated or speckled colorways, we recommend rinsing in cold water with wool wash before use if you prefer to minimize this risk.
-
We recommend purchasing enough yarn for your entire project at the start, as hand-dyed skeins are produced in small batches and cannot be perfectly replicated.
If you require more skeins for your project that we currently have available online, just shoot Aiden a message and we will set up a custom order for you. -
Unless otherwise stated, this listing is for one (1) skein of yarn. Images showing multiple skeins are used for comparison of bases and/or color variation.
-
Colorways may slightly differ in real life from what you see on your display. This is depending on your screen due to your display settings or the device you are using.
