Shag rugs, wood paneling, bold pop-art design.

Inspired by a Midwestern 1970’s moment, this retro color palette in a modern textural design came together as a fun collaboration with Jenny of 316 Dye Studio.

It was originally released as an exclusive pattern for The Endless Skein for Local Yarn Store Day 2023.

This design was made in collaboration with 316 Dye Studio.
