Zauberball Crazy 100g : Late Autumn - Inspiration Kieran Foley 2544

If you’re a fan of those deep, soulful colours that emerge There is a wonderful, moody depth to this multicoloured 4-ply yarn. Developed in a special collaboration with Kieran Foley, the "Late Autumn" colourway moves away from the bright golds of September and into the richer, more mysterious tones of November - think deep burnt umbers, earthy barks, and the charred purples of a twilight forest. Because it features the iconic Zauberball two-strand twist, where two variegated plies are spun together, you get a beautifully dappled, artisanal effect. It doesn't just stripe; it creates a complex, shifting fabric that looks like a hand-painted landscape.  Check out our kit "Donnie at the Duckpond" for the best shawl like this! (See 2nd shawl pic)

The ball itself has that lovely, hand-wound appearance that we all adore, making it a joy to work from. Made from a sturdy yet soft blend of 75% Pure New Wool and 25% Nylon, it’s a brilliant all-rounder for any project that needs to be both beautiful and durable. While it’s a firm favourite for those "special" pairs of socks, we think it’s absolutely spectacular for a large, cosy shawl or a lightweight wrap where the long, inspired colour repeats have the space to really "sing."

A sophisticated journey for your needles

We’ve rated this for everyone from Beginners to Confident makers because the yarn brings so much atmosphere to every single stitch. If you are just starting out, a simple stocking stitch project is instantly elevated into something that looks bespoke and high-end. For the more seasoned maker, this yarn is a delight for textured stitches or intricate lace, as the shifting autumnal tones add a rich dimension without hiding your hard work.

Practically speaking, we love that this anniversary-quality wool is as sensible as it is stunning. It’s machine washable, so you can wear your handmade jumpers and accessories on many a brisk woodland walk without any worry. One 100g ball gives you a generous 420 metres - perfect for a pair of adult socks - while five balls will create a medium-sized ladies' jumper with a truly unique, hand-crafted feel. It’s a lovely, authentic choice for your next slow-craft project.
