Maalox & Estrogen DYED-TO-ORDER

from $28.00

Upon the Girls’ entering their ransacked home:

Rose:“They were probably looking for drugs.”

Dorothy:“We have Maalox and estrogen. How many junkies have gas and hot flashes?”

Inspired by the most iconic break-in aftermath in Miami history, this colorway captures the chaos of a ransacked retirement home and the glamor of surviving it with sass. Swirled with moody greys and cool blues (because nothing says “we’ve been robbed” like a dramatic sigh), and lit up with flashes of neon green—just in case the junkies do come back for their fix of gas and hot flashes. It’s crime scene chic with a menopausal twist.

Listing is for 1 hank.

See the “Our Yarn Bases” section on the homepage for more details about the yarn bases we offer.

Please allow 1-2 weeks processing time as these are made to order. Processing begins after order payment or confirmation.

I’m happy to accommodate custom color requests or modifications, please contact me via email- scout@thepurlingsquirrel.com to discuss what your vision is.

Since dyed-to-order items are custom and made specifically for each fiber lover, these are non-refundable unless yarn is damaged or defective.

I dye in very small batches, therefore no batch will be exactly alike and colors may vary slightly. Each skein is unique due to the hand-dyeing process.

As with all hand-dyed yarn, it’s possible for some bleeding to occur upon washing. After the dyeing process, the yarn is rinsed until the water runs clear. However, as the yarn dries, some dye particles can still be released, and some color may appear in the water the next time the yarn is washed. Hand wash in cold water with a delicate wool wash. Lay flat to dry.
