"Cuyahoga River 1969" on Various Yarn Bases

Cuyahoga River 1969 | Nature Collection

Cuyahoga River 1969 is a nod to a darker chapter in Cleveland’s history — when industrial pollution caused the river itself to catch fire, igniting national attention and helping spark the modern environmental movement.

This colorway translates that moment into fiber through layers of soot-black, smoke gray, muddy brown, and flashes of molten orange and yellow. The palette feels heavy and atmospheric, with fire tones cutting through darkness like flame skimming across water.

There’s an uneasy beauty here — a mix of destruction and illumination — where shadow and heat coexist. It’s grounded, dramatic, and intentionally moody, carrying both the weight of history and the spark of change.
