Daffodowndilly

There was no one else on the road. Jen had just gotten her driver’s license and her parents had bought her a car to take with her to college. It was a small Toyota sedan but she loved it and loved driving it around the sleepy suburban streets of her home town. It was cool but not cold and the early spring sun tried to poke through the clouds. The dogwoods had small buds but the daffodils were in full bloom. Daffodils lined the roads, bordering stone walls, sidewalks, and driveways. As Jen drove, the daffodils went on for miles and miles, stretching from one property to the next, linking neighbor to neighbor throughout the town. Jen drove by the little league field, the middle school she had attended only four years ago, the pharmacy, and still there were daffodils. Would there be daffodils where she was going?

For more information about our yarn bases and spinning fibers, including care instructions, please visit our Yarn Bases page.

Please note that, due to the nature of hand-dyed yarn, no two skeins of yarn will be exactly alike. I recommend alternating skeins every few rows for projects using multiple skeins of the same colorway. If you order multiple skeins of the same colorway, I will do my best to select skeins that are the closest match.

I dye each skein with professional acid dyes and leave the yarn in the dye bath until the dye has exhausted before rinsing and soaking in wool wash. Minor color bleeding may occur on the first wash, especially with extremely dark colors.

Although I do my best to accurately represent each colorway in product photos, please note that the colors may vary depending on monitor and/or device settings.
