"Balanchine" is a soft cool ballet pink color, inspired by the Sugar Plum Fairy tutus in the Nutcracker. It's named after George Balanchine, a ballet dancer and choreographer, known for his energetic ballet style and for his version of the Nutcracker, which is still performed each year in NYC.

Kindred Red yarns are all hand-dyed with love, using professional acid dyes. Though rinsed thoroughly, color bleeding may occur on first few washes, especially on highly saturated colors.

Dyed in small batches, each skein is unique; two from the same batch might take on different dye amounts! When in doubt, alternate between two skeins to avoid an obvious color shift on larger projects.

Colors are photographed as accurately as possible during daylight, so the yarn is in its best light, but various devices show colors differently.
