Description
The sun is shining outside, which means it is about time I cooked up a little something for the best season of the year… Halloween. Yes, I know. It’s April. I said what I said.
The Neon Nightmares yarn box contains 5 skeins of hand dyed yarn, and depending on your preference, it comes with trinkets. Little treats. Possibly cursed. Who’s to say...
It embodies the feel of Halloween with a funtastical Undercover Otter twist. Not the soft, candlelit cottage-core version of the festival (which I also love, but I can't dye it to save my life). So I’m sticking to my neon-loving guns for this one. Expect eerie electric glows from buzzing neon signs. Empty streets at midnight, storefronts throwing acid pinks and toxic greens onto rain-slick pavement. Bright, high-voltage color, but with something slightly unsettling running through it. A little nostalgia (I am an 80's kid after all) in a trippy way, like a dream that shifts halfway through and now you’re not entirely sure you want to be there anymore.
What's in the box?
- 5 hand dyed skeins of yarn (see below for base choices);
- Depending on your box type: Extra Trinkets and treasures.
Base Options
When signing up, you get to pick your preferred base. Because chaos is fun, but controlled chaos is even better.
For fingering or sock weight the options are:
- Squirm Sock: The Undercover Otter classic. This 80% Superwash Merino, 20% Nylon high twist yarn is soft, sturdy, and ready to rock.
- Spellbound: A lush blend of 55% Superwash Bluefaced Leicester and 45% silk that catches the light in a way that reflects in the most delicious way.
If you’re more of a DK person, I’ve got you:
- Jump Scare DK: 100% Superwash Merino. Plump, cozy, and perfect for projects that need a little spring. 230 meters of soft, squishy goodness on a 115 grams skein.
- Spellbound DK: Brings that same lush blend of Superwash BFL and Silk to the table, with a slightly heavier weight.
Spellbound is a base I’ve wanted to work with for ages, and I’m genuinely thrilled to finally unleash it here. It takes color in a way that feels almost alive, which, frankly, fits the theme a little too well.
Movies I'm using for inspiration include:
Suspiria, The Neon Demon, It Follows, Mandy, Psycho Goreman, Liquid Sky, Enter the Void, Knife+Heart and many more.
Sign-ups are open now, close in August, and the box ships in September, right when the nights start closing in. As nature intended.
