Sassafras is a mix of browns and grays inspired by my favorite pastime, rock climbing. Within two hours of my home I can climb on granite slabs and basalt columns. The rocks are mottled in appearance and because of the dampness, there is always a some sort of vegetation growing in the cracks, adding a touch of green to the dark colors.

Hazel Knits "layered solids" are shaded from lighter to darker with multiple colors to give your lacy or patterned knitting depth and interest while still highlighting the stitch definition.

Artisan Sock base: This superwash fingering weight merino wool, custom-milled exclusively for Hazel Knits, has a tight twist giving you beautiful stitch definition. The 10% nylon provides added strength making it perfect for socks, but in colors this pretty, it is a great choice for shawls, sweaters and mittens as well.
