Most people just refer to them as sirens, but their parentage is important. Achelous was a river god and his daughters lured men with their ethereal songs to come join them in the depths. Don't be tempted by their song. They only mean to do you harm. Be smart and be sure to put some wool in your ears if you believe the sirens are calling to you.

Note: While the mill states that some bases are machine washable superwash yarn, this is a hand dyed product. The dye was completely exhausted and the water ran clear in the rinse process, however, some bleeding may occur with different detergents and water quality. We highly recommend hand washing using a wool safe wash such as Soak and drying flat or line drying.

When quantities are out of stock, they will be dyed to order and shipping may take 3-14 days.

Some of our photos may show more than one skein, the price listed is for only one skein.

All attempts are made to show our yarns in as close to their actual colors as possible. Colors may vary depending on monitors and lighting. Some yarns (such as those on Mohair) will come out muted and speckles will be more of a watercolor effect or have a sheen due to their fiber content.
