The Purling Squirrel

Rooster Yarns is one of my favorite undyed yarn base suppliers 🧶🩷

Colour play on our Baby Merino DK

We love the way these shades flow across the skein — moody purples, soft peach, flashes of zest all blending into stunning movement and depth. Each twist reveals a new pop of colour 💜💛

Beautifully dyed by The Purling Squirrel

Our Baby Merino DK takes dye beautifully, producing rich, vibrant colourways with gorgeous softness and clarity. Blended with baby alpaca and merino wool, it’s lightweight, warm, breathable and wonderfully squishy — plus hypoallergenic and lanolin-free 💛

Perfect for bold variegated colourways, speckles and dreamy tonals

And lastly, The Brooding Burrow 💙
This tonal is kind of a jeans blue-gray that gives moody squirrel vibes.

This isn’t the last of The Purling Squirrel tonals, I have many more planned and can’t wait to dye them once The Squirrel Family is moved and settled.

But for now, please enjoy the site-wide Moving Sale and help me lighten the load 📦 🚚🏡

🧶 The Purling Squirrel has tonals?! We sure do!
And I gotta tell ya- tonals are interesting and more fun to dye than I expected. A lot of these have 3, 4, even 5 different dye colors mixed in. It’s really amazing what you can create when blending some unexpected colors.

⭐️🚨Help me reduce inventory: MOVING SALE!!! The entire website is on sale now through April 1st (excluding dyed-to-order yarn).
