Laughing Cat Fibers

1984-Banned Book Colorway

1984-Banned Book Colorway

Inspired by 1984 by George Orwell, this literature-inspired colorway draws from a novel where surveillance, control, and resistance collide. Orwell’s dystopian vision examines how power manipulates language, truth, and memory — and how independent thought itself becomes an act of rebellion.

Deep, saturated tones create a dramatic, high-contrast palette with sharp visual impact in finished fabric. Dark foundations layered with vivid highlights result in a bold, uncompromising look that feels deliberate and impossible to ignore.

1984 translates Orwell’s warning into fiber — a colorway rooted in defiance, clarity, and resistance.

Please Note

All yarn is hand-dyed in small batches; no two skeins are identical.
For larger projects, alternating skeins is recommended for the most even color flow.

Because each skein is carefully dyed and thoughtfully curated by hand, please allow 4–6 weeks for turnaround, especially during peak seasons. Orders are created with intention and care—thank you for supporting slow, meaningful fiber.

Create Boldly. Read Freely.
