It’s been a long hot summer 🎶 and I didn’t have the time nor physical energy to think this time around!
So here we are, with the MKAL Color Kaleidoscope craze raging on, having to come up with something new, eye grabbing and exciting!
The original kits appear to have run out at S&P’s HQ, so thank you all ever so much 🙏

Luckily for me though, I’ve worked on so many new colors this summer that it felt appropriate to make something with them. This is the “J-J-J-JACKPOT!!!” Kit!

8 colors that vibe with slot-machines and retro video games!

Colors are:
Not Quite so Bejeweled 💎
Song of the Sea 🧜‍♀️
Empyrean 🌆
Italo Disco 🕺
Fruity! 🍉
Rose Fizz 🌹
Nightbringer 🎆
Harvest 🌾

If you don’t wanna go for the MKAL, this is still a stunning fade that goes well with any shawl or sock or sweater 😉

Stock verrrry limited!

Happy MKAL season!

A first look at some of my new colours.

Creating a collection is always about finding the right balance, between quieter tones and colours with a little more presence.

Seeing them together for the first time is one of those moments when an idea finally becomes real.

Do you already have a favourite?

Inspiration doesn't always come from looking for it.
Sometimes it's simply there, in an old wall, a faded façade or a colour combination you pass every day.
Spotorno is full of these quiet details.
I don't consciously translate everything I see into yarn, but living here has inevitably shaped the way I look at colour.

Creating a new colour is never simply a matter of following a formula.
I work by hand, adjusting shades as I go and watching how the yarn responds throughout the dyeing process.
Experience plays an important role, but so does intuition.
That balance between control and unpredictability is one of the things I love most about my work.

I often get asked if I still find time to knit myself.

The answer is always yes.

Because that's where it all comes together.

Every skein I dye is made to become something loved for years.

And there's nothing more rewarding than wearing something you've made with your own hands.

Every colour starts with the right foundation.

For me, that's mohair and silk.

Its softness, warmth and delicate texture make it the perfect canvas for hand dyeing.

Every batch develops differently.

That's not something I try to avoid.

It's exactly what I'm looking for.

Before I head to the workshop, I always stop here.

This little street in Spotorno has been part of my daily routine for years.

It's where I enjoy my first espresso, watch the town slowly come to life and gather my thoughts before the day begins.

Living and working in this corner of Liguria has shaped not only my life, but also the way I create.

Hi, I'm Francesco Rosa.

I'm the founder of Dark Omen Yarn.

Everything I create begins the same way: by hand.

I still dye every batch myself because I believe every colour deserves patience, attention and care.

Over the coming weeks I'd love to take you behind the scenes and share more about my work, my inspiration and the place I call home.

Welcome.
