Important Note:
The same colorway may appear slightly different between yarn bases due to differences in fiber content, yarn structure, and dye absorption. Each base brings its own unique character to the colors while maintaining the overall aesthetic of the Saltwater Boardwalk collection. Due to the handmade nature of hand-dyed yarn, color placement and speckling will vary from skein to skein. This variation is part of what makes each set unique. Colors may appear differently depending on monitor, phone, and tablet screen settings.
