Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind
A film where colour quietly carries the weight of the world. Much of the movie is grounded in soft, weathered blues, dusty greys, and muted pastels. Tones that evoke wind-scoured skies, ancient technology, and a landscape shaped by both ruin and hope.
Nausicaä herself is most often seen in blue, a colour that comes to symbolise compassion, balance, and her deep connection to the natural world.
This denim-blue colourway draws directly from that visual language. The shifting range from pale, worn denim to deeper, stormier blues mirrors the ever-moving skies and windswept valleys of the film. Grey and pastel undertones soften the palette, echoing the quiet, melancholic atmosphere that runs through the story. Speckles of sea-moss green and earthy brown reference the Toxic Jungle; its spores, plants, and the living world reclaiming what was lost.

Directed by Hayao Miyazaki, Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind predates Studio Ghibli but laid its foundation, introducing many of the themes that would define the studio: environmentalism, empathy, and the idea that nature is not something to conquer, but to understand. This yarn is my homage to that balance: worn, wind-touched, and quietly powerful.

DELIVERY TIME:
This product is only available on pre-order. The listing will be live for less than a week (or until maximum capacity is reached, keep an eye on home page or social medias for updates), and I will then order the yarn from my supplier which takes 2 weeks to arrive. From there I do my best to dye, package and ship your order within a 4-6 weeks timeframe. This is my last shop update, and currently I estimate this would be delivered around mid March :)
SKEIN/CAKE:
By default my yarn is delivered as a 100gr skein, but if you do not have the winder to help you cake it, it can be quite laborious! Choose the cake option so I can do it for you and your yarn can arrive ready to cast-on!
LARGE ORDER DISCOUNTS:
In an effort or fairness to help those who need to purchase larger amount of yarn to knit garment of big size, I have therefore created several discounts. These discounts have been designed to facilitate an issue that larger folks are facing, please only use it if this description fits you. Head to the SWEATER QUANTITY ORDER to find the discount codes.
DIFFERENT BASE, DIFFERENT RESULTS:
Each fibre blend is different and therefore takes the colour in a different way. SuperWash yarns (SW) will be more vibrant than Non-SuperWash (NSW).
The difference are very subtle, mostly in vibrance of colours, but please take it into account before ordering! Each base is different, and each batch is, even with the perfect recipe :)
