Spring Sunshine

Jen arrived at Stanfield Memorial Park and parked her car. On these quiet Sunday afternoons of her senior year, she liked to come here and revisit some of her favorite books from her childhood. Last week she had finished reading The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame. Fortunately, unlike Toad, she had yet to crash a car. This week she had selected A.A. Milne from her childhood bookshelf. She glanced down at the book in her hands as she made her way to a bench by the pond: When We Were Very Young. It had gotten a bit warmer out and the sun had managed to pierce the clouds, sparkling off the surface of the water. She sat down on the bench, opened the book to a random page, and read the poem that was there: “She wore her yellow sun-bonnet, She wore her greenest gown…” How odd that this poem happened to be about daffodils, she thought.

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.
