Spring — Giuseppe Archimboldo | The Seasons Series

Inspired by Spring from Giuseppe Arcimboldo’s renowned series The Seasons, this colorway celebrates renewal, abundance, and the joyful excess of growth.

Arcimboldo’s Spring is a portrait built entirely from blossoms — flowers layered upon flowers, each petal contributing to a larger whole. It is playful and unsettling at once, a reminder that nature’s beauty often comes from accumulation rather than restraint.

That philosophy guided this colorway.

Soft creams and pale florals form the base, overlaid with warm yellows, budding greens, coral blush, and deeper botanical tones. Darker grounding shades anchor the brighter elements, creating contrast and depth much like Arcimboldo’s dense floral construction. Subtle sparkle adds lift and light, echoing the way highlights catch on petals in full bloom.

As fabric grows, the colors interact and shift — no single shade dominates. Instead, the yarn reveals itself gradually, rewarding texture, movement, and stitch definition.

This colorway completes the Arcimboldo Seasons series — Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter — each designed to stand alone while forming a cohesive artistic set.

Please Note

All yarn is hand-dyed to order. Color placement, saturation, and sparkle distribution will vary from skein to skein.

Each skein is dyed using layered techniques to build depth and complexity, 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. Each skein is dyed, set, and finished by hand to ensure balance, depth, and consistency.
