I've crafted the Aphrodite colorway in homage to the goddess of love and beauty. This 'half-dunk' skein features a light coral pink end and a light purple end, finished off with speckles.

This is one of our 'half dunk' colorways. Which means that the 2 ends of the skein have a distinctly different color, with the colors meeting up in the middle. This yarn will pool / flash depending on how this colorway is knitted up. For sock knitters: you will probably get a spiral or staggered lines out of this yarn.

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.

Slasher Sock is durable, warm, and really easy to work with.
This blend of 75% Superwash Merino (26 microns) and 25% Nylon is versatile enough to be used for projects that call for a sturdy yarn that can take a beating. While Slasher is coarser than our other Merino yarns, it is soft enough for durable garments as well as socks, blankets, and crochet projects.

All of the yarn bases we use at Undercover Otter are Mulesing Free!

IMPORTANT INFORMATION WHEN PURCHASING HAND DYED YARN!

When purchasing hand dyed yarns, we recommend you purchase a sufficient amount of yarn for your project.

We sell handmade products that get produced in small batches. We always use the same recipes for repeatable colorways and work very precise measuring our materials. However, it's impossible to guarantee two skeins will ever look the same. With hand made products there is always some variation on the end product.

We retake pictures for every dyelot. Which means that the images shown on our site may look different from the skein you have from a previous dyelot.

If you want a uniform result with the end product you are making, with knitting, crochet and weaving, alternate skeins once rows. If using fiber, you can mix and match some of the fibers as you go when spinning or felting.

When dyeing yarn we fully exhaust all pigments before going to the rinsing step. Despite the care we put into the rinsing process, mild bleeding is common in hand dyed yarn and if you have a skein with a bright or dark color, or it contains speckles, play it safe by rinsing the skein in cold water and some wool wash and let it dry before casting on.

If you want more information on how to care for hand dyed yarn, please follow this link.

This listing is for one (1) skein of yarn unless specifically mentioned otherwise. Photos of multiple skeins shows a comparison between yarn bases and/or skeins.

Colorways may slightly vary depending on the screen due to your display settings or devide you are using. All photography is optimized to be as color accurate as possible, keeping in mind that we use a monitor. Using device screens (phone, tablet) is not a reliable replacement for looking at the images on a monitor.
