Signal in Scarlet - Melt the Ice

$29.00Price
Excluding Sales Tax

There are moments in history when ordinary objects become extraordinary.

In Norway, knitted red caps known as nisselue were once simple winter garments — practical, warm, woven into daily life. Yet during the occupation of World War II, these humble red hats evolved into subtle markers of cultural identity and quiet defiance. In a time when overt resistance carried grave consequences, wool became signal.

 

Signal in Scarlet draws from that lineage — not as spectacle, but as remembrance.

 

Knitting has long existed at the threshold between domestic craft and declaration. It is portable. Patient. Persistent. A language carried in fiber rather than voice.

 

This luxury hand-dyed yarn burns with saturated scarlet — unapologetic, unwavering, impossible to ignore. It is designed for pieces that feel intentional: a shawl worn close, a cap pulled firm against winter air, a garment made not merely for warmth but for meaning.

 

Fifteen dollars from every skein will be donated to KIND (Kids in Need of Defense), an organization providing legal representation to unaccompanied and separated children navigating the U.S. immigration system. Support is direct, tangible, and transparent.

 

Signal in Scarlet is not loud. It is resolute.
