Kaibab National Forest, located in northern Arizona, is a vast and diverse wilderness that encompasses more than a million acres of forested landscapes. It encompasses the North Rim of one of the most iconic natural wonders on Earth, the Grand Canyon. Kaibab National Forest boasts a remarkable range of ecosystems, from ponderosa pine forests to high-altitude meadows. Extensive hiking trails and outdoor recreational opportunities, attract nature enthusiasts, campers, and backpackers from around the world.

I translated this diverse and beautiful place to yarn by starting with the lush greens. To that I added in splashes of deep blues and browns and layers of the warm earthtones of the desert rocks.

See below for base yarn options and details!

Pairs With: Anything in the Southwest Collection! I especially love this one with Big Bend National Park or Saguaro. Or Pair with Zion National Park for more contrast.

For all of our hand dyed yarns we recommend that they are either washed by hand or machine washed cold, gentle cycle. Use only gentle wool wash and always lay flat to dry.

Variations between dyelots and from skein to skein are expected. It is best practice when working with hand dyed yarn to alternate skeins as you work.
