OXBLOOD - a deep, burgundy, blackened red - brings to mind rich leather couches in a shrouded, smoke-filled room...or a model wrapped in billows of sumptuous fabrics, floating down the runway...or a designer handbag clutched at a cocktail party. A highly saturated color. Use alone and/or test first before pairing with other shades to avoid color transfer. Steam blocking is best.

Note: Each skein is a hand-created, unique work of art and no two skeins will be identical, even within the same dye lot. If working with more than one skein in a project, it is best to alternate skeins every other row. Despite every effort to accurately depict our product colors, actual shades may vary due to differences in monitor settings.
