Citrine
One of the gemstones for November, citrine is a yellow form of the mineral quartz, first being appreciated as a gemstone in Greece between 300 and 150 BC. Natural citrine is rare, most modern citrines being formed by heat-treating amethyst or smoky quartz.

Our non superwash yarn is spun in Yorkshire from British fleece and hand dyed in small batches in Birmingham. Whilst colour consistency between batches is good, due to the dyeing process no two skeins will be identical and there may be slight colour variations between batches. It is therefore recommended that you buy enough yarn from the same batch to complete your projects and that you alternate skeins every other row.
Once you have completed your garment, it is recommended that you handwash your finished item in lukewarm water with your wool wash of choice and lay your washed garment flat to dry. Although the yarn is thoroughly rinsed after dyeing, some slight colour bleed may occur at first wash.
I photograph my yarn in natural daylight, however colour variations can occur between monitors.
