Winter — Giuseppe Arcimboldo | The Seasons Series

Inspired by Winter, the final painting in Giuseppe Arcimboldo’s series The Seasons, this colorway embodies dormancy, endurance, and quiet resilience.

Arcimboldo’s Winter is composed of bark, roots, and weathered wood — a portrait built not from abundance, but from survival. The figure emerges from fractured organic elements shaped by cold, time, and exposure. Where Summercelebrates excess and Fall marks decline, Winter is restraint made visible.

That philosophy defines this colorway.

Deep shadowed browns, muted bark tones, and layered neutrals move across the skein with subtle complexity. Colors shift quietly rather than dramatically, echoing the textures of aged wood and wintered landscapes. Nothing ornamental, nothing bright — only grounded depth and structure.

This is a colorway designed for pieces where texture and construction take center stage. As fabric grows, movement appears slowly, rewarding thoughtful stitch patterns and intentional making.

Within Arcimboldo’s Seasons cycle, Winter completes the arc — the moment of stillness before renewal begins again.

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.
