Storm Cloud

Storm Cloud is a beautifully moody blend of soft blue, misty grey and warm taupe, evoking shifting skies just before the rain begins. Subtle tonal changes run throughout the skein, creating gentle movement and depth that keeps even simple stitches interesting. The palette feels calm and sophisticated, making it perfect for elegant garments, cosy shawls and timeless accessories.

Inspired by Changing Skies

Inspired by the quiet drama of an approaching storm, Storm Cloud captures the moment when soft blue skies begin to soften into silvery grey, with warm taupe tones appearing beneath the clouds. The gentle shifts in colour create a beautifully atmospheric palette that feels both peaceful and full of character.

The result is a refined, wearable colourway with subtle depth and movement — ideal for makers who love understated shades that reveal more the closer you look.

Perfect for Knitting and Crochet

Storm Cloud shines in projects where its soft tonal variation can add interest without overwhelming the design. The calm blend of blue, grey and taupe works beautifully in both simple stitches and more detailed patterns.

This colourway is particularly well suited to:

  • Socks
  • Shawls and wraps
  • Sweaters and cardigans
  • Lightweight garments
  • Hats and accessories
  • Crochet projects

Hand-Dyed with Character

Every skein of Storm Cloud is individually hand-dyed in Suffolk, meaning no two skeins will ever be completely identical. These subtle variations are part of the beauty of hand-dyed yarn and help create finished projects with movement, depth and individuality.

For larger projects such as sweaters and shawls, we recommend purchasing all the yarn required at the same time to ensure the closest possible colour match.

Whether you’re creating a soft, elegant shawl, a cosy everyday sweater or a favourite pair of socks, Storm Cloud brings a calm, atmospheric touch of colour to every stitch.
