A Swiftly Tilting Planet — Banned Book Colorway

Inspired by A Swiftly Tilting Planet by Madeleine L’Engle, this literature-inspired colorway draws from a story shaped by urgency, hope, and time bending across generations. Long challenged for its themes of spirituality, individuality, and resistance to conformity, L’Engle’s work trusts young readers with complexity, compassion, and courage.

That sense of movement carries into this colorway. Layered, nuanced tones create a palette that feels slightly off balance yet steadily advancing — thoughtful, luminous, and quietly expressive. Soft transitions and organic shifts echo the novel’s exploration of time, choice, and interconnected lives.

A Swiftly Tilting Planet translates L’Engle’s vision into fiber, honoring a story that reminds us even small acts can tilt the world forward.

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.
