Laughing Cat Fibers

Goldfish — Gustav Klimt Series | UV Reactive

Goldfish — Gustav Klimt Series | UV Reactive

Inspired by Goldfish by Gustav Klimt, this colorway explores how to translate one of the artist’s most iconic materials — gold leaf — into fiber.

Rather than attempting a literal metallic effect, Goldfish captures the experience of gold leaf through light. Deep emerald greens, shadowed teal, and burnished undertones form a rich foundation, while vivid gold tones are layered into the skein. Under black light, those golden elements ignite — glowing with intensity and movement, much like Klimt’s use of gold to pull the eye and disrupt the surface of the painting.

This is UV used as concept, not novelty: a modern answer to Klimt’s gilded surfaces, translated into yarn.

Please Note

All yarn is hand-dyed to order; color placement, saturation, and tonal variation will vary between skeins.

Each skein is dyed individually using layered techniques, making every skein unique.

For larger projects, alternating skeins is recommended for the most even color flow.

Colors may vary slightly depending on screen settings and lighting conditions.

Turnaround Time:

Please allow 4–6 weeks for dye-to-order yarns, especially during peak seasons. Each skein is carefully dyed, set, and finished by hand to ensure balance, depth, and consistency.
