A protostar is the very beginnings of a brand new star. As it forms, it pulls in clouds of dust, gases and matter, compressing and getting hotter before starting nuclear fusion to stardom.

Information is pulled from various posts by Nasawebb on Instagram.

My interpretation chose to focus on the inspiration photo as a whole. This is a rare colorway in that it is dyed in a style that will stripe in small circumferences (socks and sleeves) and pool with greater likelihood on larger pieces (garments and blankets), so please keep this in mind. One half of the skein focuses on warm tones with reds, yellows and oranges. We have a small mixing of colors in the middle with the second half of the skein focusing on the cooler tones of blues. The oranges and reds represent thicker layers of dust while on the blues indicate thinner areas of cosmic dust.

Disclaimers: This listing is for one skein of yarn only. Please use the quantity selector if you desire more than one skein. Photos are a representation of the colorway you will receive. Monitors may vary slightly causing variations in colors seen. I do my best to accurately portray the given color(s) but I full admit that photography and photo editing is not my forte.

Yarn is soaked in a yuzu scented wool wash before being rinsed until the water runs clear. Some color bleeding for the first few washes may be possible especially for those highly saturated colors. It is advised to wash your makes separately.

Additionally, I recommend washing handmade items with a mild detergent and laying flat to dry. Superwash items can possibly be machine washing on gentle cycle but I can not be held responsible for any mishaps. Non-Superwash items should DEFINITELY be hand washed.

All yarn comes from a pet friendly home, specifically cats as the dog has zero access to my studio. Twisted and labeled yarn is kept from up and away from possible kitty snuggles but please keep this information in mind when purchasing.
